Aki couldn't help giving a little smile at Haruko's unrelenting energy, before her eyes shifted back to the newcomer. [color=royalblue]"It's alright, nothing to apologise for. My name is Harigae Aki,"[/color] she told her, then gestured to the kimono-clad brunette. [color=royalblue]"And this is Takada Kichi."[/color]

As she waited for the others to introduce themselves, her expression settled once more into seriousness. She let the orb, no longer needed, fade. If she focused, she could pick up on a presence radiating from inside an office block. It was a relief to learn that the ember-wreathed girl was safe, although that left the question of why the switch had been needed. Had she gotten into trouble? Was she injured? Considering how tough the battle had been - much more so than expected - Aki didn't want to imagine, but needed to know.

[color=royalblue]"The girl you switched places with... She isn't hurt, is she?"[/color] After a glance at her comrades, she added, [color=royalblue]"Speaking of people being hurt, is there a healer around?"[/color]

Refreshed by Aki's magic, Kichi skipped closer to where she, Uetsuki and Haruko stood. [color=goldenrod]"No need to worry!"[/color] Smiling over at Haruko, she swept her hand to indicate the crystal slivers gleaming on the ground, smaller but numerous. [color=goldenrod]"There are more than enough spoils to go round!"[/color] She turned to the wounded girl, attempting to reassure her. [color=goldenrod]"And one of the great things about being a magical girl is we recover pretty fast."[/color]

A tingle of magic, followed by a snapping sound, caught her attention. Not dark magic, thankfully, but a presence that felt like the rest of the team. The source stepped out of a nearby building, a brunette in deer-stalking attire, with a rifle at her belt. [color=goldenrod]"Ohh! A stealth fighter, huh?"[/color] Kichi drew nearer, eyes wide. [color=goldenrod]"Nice, did you help us out just now?"[/color]
