Phann found the elf’s concern to be rather amusing if a little out unusual. Was it because Phann was no longer covered in burn scars? No, the girl had borne witness to Phann acting like a crazy person and seemed to be aware of her identity, so maybe this person was just kind? Whatever the case Phann resolved to at least try and get a better reading on the elf before taking her antics too far.

The girl had said she was a student by named Tiki, Phann couldn’t say the name sounded familiar, so there was a chance that that was just a nickname or something, but then again it wasn’t like she actually remembered most of her classmate's names anyway so it could just be that. Tiki’s reasoning as to their course of action made enough sense, either way, it was a gamble but at least if they followed the others if they survived they’d have other people to rely on for help.

With the plan in mind, Phann nodded in response to Tiki asking if she’d be able to stand, a few moments later pulling herself up with a dramatic teeter for effect and taking a moment to shake off. Damn pins and needles. It was definitely starting to seem to Phann like Tiki might actually just be a good person, with her offer to let her rest, the constant apologies and the comment about elf solidarity… wait. Phann’s hands reached for ears, poking at the tapered points.

[color=9e0b0f]"Holy shit! I’m an elf! You’d think I would have realised this earlier, huh?"[/color]

Phann figured that explained the tingling feeling she’d had in her feet, either that or some kind of summoning sickness. Speaking of which a similar tingling sensation had begun in her stomach so maybe eating those butterflies earlier hadn’t been such a good idea, didn’t really matter now there were more pressing matters to deal with, like Mr Angry Roars. After a mighty stretch and a failed attempt at violently cracking her neck, Phann turned back to Tiki.

[color=9e0b0f]"Okay then Tiki, I suppose it's best if we get going now… Onwards to that way!"[/color]

Phann pointed vaguely in the direction Albrecht’s party had headed off in holding her arm out for a few seconds before beginning to move in that direction. Only a short while after she’d begun her march a bright light flashed from somewhere behind Phann and a feeling similar to the one being caused by the literal butterflies in her stomach, albeit somewhat more annoying, washed over her. Turning around Phann immediately spotted the source of the disturbance, a massive beam of light, looking like the result of some kind of arcane WMD, shining up into the sky from where she’d previously seen the now presumably dead lizardman. 

[color=9e0b0f]"Hehehe… That’s our cue to begin running the hell away right? ... Tiki?"[/color]

Glancing over at Tiki, Phann realised the elf wasn’t doing so well. Was it panic? Maybe, kinda hard to tell, but this seemed like something else. Running over to her companion Phann grabbed onto the elf’s arm, yanking at but not really doing much given her lack of strength. 

[color=9e0b0f]"Come on, you know I’m a fan of games, but I’m really thinking it’s probably time to get going, you know? Also, my new year's resolution was to die no more than once per day and there was that thing you mentioned about elf solidarity, so I’d really appreciate it if we could get moving."[/color]

Phann briefly considered ditching Tiki, but that seemed like a bit of a dick move after the elf had offered to help her, so instead she busied herself continuing to tug on Tiki’s arm and breaking down into manic giggles, partly because Phann found the whole idea of dying immediately after being given a second chance hilarious, but mostly because she was panicking.
