She wanted to help?...maybe. Maybe it she could. Chieko did like Aerith, even if she had basically screwed everything up back at the clinic. She wasn't sure how she could help, but...well, actually. Maybe she couldn't. It wasn't that she didn't trust Aerith, it was that this job didn't require more than one person. Probably. If they both showed up at the Vertti estate, it'd seem more suspicious than a single person.

Her thoughts were interrupted when Aerith mentioned Hiro.

that's right she...she...didn't see what happened.

[color=Chocolate]"Hiro..."[/color] Anger began boiling in the pit of her stomach as her hands balled into fists. [color=Chocolate]"...didn't make it."[/color] Did she blame herself for it? Possibly. Maybe if she had been faster to react, or had managed to successfully pull of getting the bandits to take only her. Maybe if she actually had that stupid clairvoyance gift. [color=Chocolate]"After...after you left, Ahston tried to force a reset."[/color] She turned her eyes away from Aerith, grinding her teeth together. [color=Chocolate]"...Hiro didn't...didn't come back..."[/color] There was a bit more than that - like them meeting Talus again and the 'lovers' - she honestly really wanted to see them again.

[color=Chocolate]"But I don't have time to mourn."[/color] Was she just trying to be tough? Probably. She fixed Aerith with a serious expression. [color=Chocolate]"I must find a way out of my predicament as well as ensure these bandits don't achieve their goals. Ah, such is the lamentable tragedy of a hero bound by darkness."[/color] Tilting her head to the side with a small smile, she continued. [color=Chocolate]"But fear not, this hero shall see to the saving of everyone, be it cult or bandits!...but uhm, I mean,"[/color] She chuckled nervously. [color=Chocolate]"...but uhm, if you want to help a hero shouldn't turn it down..."[/color]

Fritzi hadn't said that she [i]couldn't[/i] ask for help so it was probably fine.

[color=slategray]"Heh! Foxy grandma hat?"[/color] Mie laughed lightly as Eiko left the wagon. [color=slategray]"Well if you want to give me her back after I sold her all those years ago, by all means~"[/color] She grinned, sauntering over to the man. [color=slategray]"But you have quite the good eye there, friend! I do not believe its the Vorpal Blade you speak of, but it's certainly a special blade. Forged by quite a skilled blacksmith! I was told it'd never fail, break, or even never lose its sharpness."[/color] She cast a glance back over to Mirt.

[color=slategray]"If all you're doing is paying for services rendered, just leave the money there, I'll get it later. I have another customer to see too, hmm? If you're here because you were enthralled with my charm,"[/color] She grinned. [color=slategray]"Too bad. Not interested in crotchety old men. Now get off my wagon."[/color]
