Wait a second here-...ah. Chieko had been offering to go with the bandits before. It seemed that had worked out so far, from the sound of things, for Chieko. Though happy the other girl was still alive, the dark-haired girl herself lightly frowned at the words. So this "Elder Sibling", who was either Fritzi or not Fritzi for all she knew, was sending Chieko to get something and bring it back? Probably something valuable, she felt, but at the same time concerning enough as it was with all that was going on. 

They were both on a timed schedule, her own being unknown for now and Chieko having to be back by noon. And it wasn't like they had any idea who was going to die and cause everything to reset either this time around. Not like Chieko's pauses were giving her any faith in things working out well if she didn't complete this mission. Likewise, Aerith felt that the looming army literally just beyond the walls in the forest were the biggest threat of them all, but...last time she had tried to force things it had gone badly with Chieko. 

She had to show some faith in the girl, perhaps, to get faith in return. 

[color=gold]"Hmm...maybe i can help with your mission? At least if i can, as what i can do now having some advantages i believe.

I don't want to mess things up, though, but...i want to help you out as well,"[/color]

Aerith spoke calmly, but she still bit her lower lip lightly after speaking to Chieko again. She'd looked the girl dead in the eyes when speaking to her, even, to show she was being genuine about this. It was an awkward topic, at least for her to speak about in these sudden circumstances, but she trusted Chieko. The other girl was one of the few she did trust here, at least, in terms of people or demihumans. 

Not paying attention to hear comments on the Vorpal Blade in her crates, however, Alistair's words finally clicked in Aerith's mind. 

[color=gold]"Wait....where is Hiro?"[/color] Aerith spoke, her words a bit more cautious and wary as she slowly looked over to Alistair. 

She has a sinking feeling, with how the other boy had talked about Hiro. More than anything, she hoped her fears from that time hadn't been proven true. She hoped the large man was just around the corner, working at a shop in secret or something. 

Hiro was to strong to...to die, right? Right?!
