As Livia let go, Himeko was somewhat concerned she'd just fall over but she seemed fine. Charlotte seemed fine as well. Good. That was less to worry about at least. The only real concern now was Odette. With Livia standing on her own, Himeko walked to the tombstone that Odette hid behind, sheathing her blade. [color=ba55d3]"Are you well, Odette? None here are going to hurt you now. Come, take my hand."[/color] It was an order, though it sounded as a request. Her tone was gentle... Well, gentle for Himeko that didn't seem to think well of lower creatures. [color=ba55d3]"Perhaps we could be friends."[/color] Mayhap she felt better about being friendly with a spirit.
