Himeko had all but readied her hand on her katana.  It'd be easy since the focus was on Charlotte now.  If the guards needed to get in her way, there was no need for them...  That is, until those girls from earlier showed up.  The eldest among them spoke, and on their behalf as well. Himeko couldn't help but give a pondering look at the girl.  Why had she shown?  Not that it mattered much now.  What was her name again?  [color=ba55d3]"Ahh! Miss Fiore... s. Oh, how gracious you all are to make an appearance."[/color]  Himeko said, faking as well as she always did.  [color=ba55d3]"They seem to have misunderstood Charlotte's intent."[/color]  The Tengu said, happily making a performance of it.

Katherine herself quite enjoyed theatrics.  She'd been watch the whole time of course.  Dolls could hide in places humans most certainly could not.  She approached Charlotte looking happy.  [color=green]"I apologize if those samples I asked for caused you any trouble."[/color] It couldn't hurt to bring the theatrics up a bit could it?  [color=green]"I was also interested in some of the research you had."[/color] She said, turning back to the guard.  [color=green]"Can the poor girl have her cloak back?"[/color]  Reaching out her hand to the guard as if to take if off his hands.  Katherine was known to dabble in just about everything, so hopefully, if the guard knew anything about her he'd make the 'correct' assumption.
