Oh dear, that as quite the mess up. She could feel her cheeks burning with mild embarrassment. Chieko pulled her scarf around her mouth, doing her best to hide in it. Aki, of course, was as adorable as ever. Watching her freak out and try and help was yes, entirely worth the embarrassment.

[color=chocolate]"Mhm...I'm fine..."[/color] Chieko responded to the worried Aki. She glanced at her hands. They didn't seem burned or injured, so it was probably fine. [color=chocolate]"Thank you, Aki."[/color] She reached out, giving Aki a pat on the head before turning to Quill. Ooh, apologies were not her forte, but before she could...

[color=chocolate]"H-huh...?"[/color] Quill started saying something both concerning and mildly terrifying. Clairvoyance? How did she know Aerith's and Hiro's names? Had they just been listening this entire time? Had Irene and Vasilis done something? Who else would have known? Fritzi? More points towards the suspicious fox girl. She really doubted Irene and Vasilis would be involved, given they helped them...twice now. Chieko's eyes widened, her knees feeling incredibly weak again as Alistair confronted Quill.

Yes, she had her suspicions, but she really hadn't meant to do anything. This was just an unfortunate accident. What should she do? What should she do? She couldn't bring herself to say anything as Alistair continued to confront Quill.

[color=chocolate]"Alistair...!"[/color] Quill certainly kept her promise of roasting someone from the inside out. Chieko made a step back, but stopped herself from running entirely. The sight made her want to vomit. Urgh, some hero she was supposed to be. A real hero wouldn't be bothered by this, would they? Why? Why was this even happening?

[color=chocolate]"F-flame...?"[/color] Once again, she was being protected. Urgh, it made her as sick as watching Alistair be killed. What was she supposed to say? She wasn't a clairvoyant. Not at all. Well, technically she was, perhaps, but it was still not correct to call it that. Even if she did guess correctly the order that Quill was going to kill everyone, she doubted Quill would keep her promise. No true villain would. Yet, refusing would also probably be just as bad. She seemed fairly certain of herself, meaning that any denial would only make her more suspect.

[color=chocolate]"Hah..."[/color] A nervous, quiet laugh left her throat as she moved in front of Aki herself. [color=chocolate]"I...I don't need your protection, Flame."[/color] Despite her words, it was clear she was not as confident as she tried to appear. Well, if Quill thought she was one, might as well play along somewhat. [color=chocolate]"Whoever told you we're clairvoyants is not entirely correct."[/color] Chieko replied, her voice finally finding some semblance of evenness. [color=chocolate]"But I do know what you intended to do. You were going to attack Hiro and Aerith, and if that failed you were going to come here and light those incense candles and kill them if they sought help from Donovan."[/color]

She had magic now right? Maybe she could use it to defend herself if Quill tried anything.
