[b][color=9999ff]Skills:[/color][/b] N/A[/center][hr]	Hearing that the Watch was going to be gone for a while brought up some logistical questions for Andromeda. If Giouse was gone, would no one else be able to get to the Loop? She knew that Nancy had gone off somewhere - would she be able to return? Would Evelina be able to? She frowned slightly, already having a million and one questions about the mechanics of time manipulation - a cosmic irony, no doubt, given her death. Time manipulation at a carnival - as much as she wanted to escape her past, it kept on coming back to smack her in the face. 

	She agreed with James - hiding on their own turf? That didn't sound right to her. [color=9999ff]"James is right - we shouldn't hide. Even beyond just the paranoia, it'd be like ceding control over our own turf...We can't go on the defensive in our own home,"[/color] Andromeda reasoned. She knew a lot of the Paradoxes had spent ages going into battle situations. She was relying on gut feeling and intuition. Hiding in Ville au Camp to sneak up on the carnival folk? It almost reminded her of the opening of the [i]Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe[/i] - with the game of hide and seek and running away from the housekeeper.

	She was glad James supported her line of questioning and was about to say something else when Gil hobbled into the kitchen. She wasn't certain how to feel when Gil said that he was proud of them - but it did stir something slightly in her - as if an uncle had come and said [i]good job[/i] when you handled the house and the parents were out. Andromeda nodded in recognition as she was told her trip with Gil was canceled - it was unsurprising. Evelina, Nancy, and Gio were all gone - not all of the Emendators could just leave, right?

	She took another sip of the coffee James had given her. When Gil stopped for questions, Andromeda couldn't quite help herself. [color=9999ff]"Are you alright?"[/color] she asked him, concerned for the Emendator's wellbeing. She didn't say it, but he looked terrible.
