Before she could make a decision, Fritzi and the others made their way into the mansion. This was not what she wanted. This was not what was supposed to happen. Ugh, was there no other way? She didn't want to fight, she really, really, didn't, but was it the only thing to do? ...right, focus. A fight hadn't been decided yet. She could still change this. She could still save everyone. She just needed to stand her ground. She cast a cold glance towards Flame. Well at least he wasn't going to be doing anything to mess this up. Probably. She didn't have the confidence she could work this out as badly as things were progressing. [color=Chocolate]"...Quill."[/color] She addressed Quill first, gaze lingering just slightly on the Oni. Out of the three of them, Quill was the one she [i]really[/i] didn't want to fight. Not because she wasn't sure she could take the Oni. Quill was was a friend. At least, Chieko considered her as such. She was a little rough, sure, but she didn't think Quill was a bad person and if she were to be honest, she felt closer to her than most of the others from earth. [color=Chocolate]"Chiyo. Fritzi."[/color] She didn't move, doing her best not to let her fear show. [color=Chocolate]"You're here."[/color] She inhaled, standing at the top of the stairs. The sounds of combat outside were audible. [color=Chocolate]"It's about time you showed up. Keeping me waiting is rather rude."[/color] She paused, using that same facade she always did when she was nervous. [color=Chocolate]"Is this chaos what you wanted? This loss of life and the utter disregard for peace? If this is what you want for this world, Fritzi, I can't stand idly by and watch as things happen, unlike you."[/color] That last bit slipped out somewhat unconsciously. [color=Chocolate]"So tell me. I know roughly where it is, and if you get it...will that be the end of this?"[/color] She turned her gaze towards the ground. [color=Chocolate]"...I-I don't want to fight any of you, but I can't let something like this continue to happen."[/color]
