Really, it was a miracle that Himeko could face this arrogant girl without letting a trace of fear show on her grinning face. Even as the Shade was brutally destroyed, with an overwhelming power the fox could not hope to match, she simply puffed on the strange pipe held in her fingers, slowly exhaling a cloud of strange, purple smoke as Kagami's [i]generous[/i] offer was made.

Internally, Himeko was frantically trying to find a way to placate the situation. Giving up the orb was out of the question, combat would invariably lead to defeat in her current state, and those lasers would be a tad tricky to outrun. It looked like she would have to throw Kagami for a loop, but before that...

"Well," Himeko began with a cheerful tone, "I suppose that's a fair enough deal, but is that [i]really[/i] okay with ya? I mean-" the sudden interruption of an adorable catgirl threw Himeko's tactic into a bit of a pickle. Given Kagami's apparent disposition, there was a very good chance she'd take on both of them - it was saddening to believe that the combined powers of a fox and a cat were nothing to this condescending girl.

as long as the lasers weren't flying though, the fox would just have to improvise and keep things as civil as possible. She wavbed cheerfully t othe pink-haired newcomer, "Hiya~! Just having a friendly chat, don't mind us!"

Less than a minute until she gained her second tail. If nothing else, it gave Himeko just the tiniest bit more power to work with, should this girl decide to engage in combat.
