Chieko's legs wobbled as she relaxed her stance. Ugh, she really just wanted a nice place to just...sit for awhile. The brunette tried not to show it as much this time as she looked at each person gathered. Crunch, Vertti, Flame, Ashton, Allistair...she listened to what Sandra and Crunch had to say, silently mulling over the situation as it was presented to her. They could go home? She could just forget everything that happened this past week? That sounded nice. She could just...forget all this happened. The death. The fighting...but what about Quill? Chiyo? Truthfully, Chieko didn't have much back on earth to go back to. She wasn't all that close with her parents. Her little sister was just about the only thing she'd go back for, but...she was a useless big sister anyways. She could get along just fine without her. [color=Chocolate]"...Hmph, fleeing so readily?"[/color] She cast a glance to Flame and Ashton. [color=Chocolate]"And here I thought you were better than that, but fine. In your absence I shall do what I must."[/color] She looked over to Sandra. [color=Chocolate]"I shall stay here as well."[/color] She wasn't certain about all this high council business still, but she did know that she would have to stop Talus or whatever else was left of him. Not that anyone else needed to know about her life on earth. It was much better here, even if she ended up mostly alone. She could still be a hero, even if she was. Besides, being a Loner was the staple of any good hero. maybe she could finally check out that adventurer's guild...

One second she was watching quite amused as that human by the name of Aerith sliced open Fritzi in the most amusingly deranged fashion, and then everything was just...over? Just like that. Her Blessing wasn't alerting her to any danger, Fritzi was dead and everything seemed to mostly just be quiet...but where was Vertti? Mie wasn't concerned, of course, but she did have a deal to keep after all. If she was still alive she needed to make sure she was going to keep it. So Mie moved back to Vertti's study, away from Fritzi's body before she could be seen by the guards or anyone else. She didn't have any intention of even being slightly implicated in anything. On a less serious note...these bandits really did make a mess of her mansion, didn't they? Tsk, she was going to need to make them pay for all the repairs, if any of them were left alive. ... [color=slategray]"...Jeez, what is wrong with me?"[/color] Mie exhaled, shaking her head. [color=slategray]"Marriage? With Vertti of all people. Ahahaa, wow I've made some bad decisions but this still has to be my worst one yet."[/color] She chuckled lightly, reaching the study. Locked? Well, not that it mattered to her. She pilfered a Key to the place earlier, of course. Opening the door, Mie looked at the people present. [color=slategray]"...I don't remember inviting a cheap male stripper, a couple of lost orphans, and a girl that looks like she has as much social skill as a wet rock in my house."[/color] Mie closed the door behind her, walking over to the desk and taking a seat on it. Stretching, she didn't seem to entirely mind just inserting herself into the situation and not even caring what was going on. [color=slategray]"So, Vertti...I hope you're not going to back out of our deal, hm? You're not going to break this little foxes heart now that we're done with this whole...business are you?"[/color] She flashed Vertti a decidedly toothy grin. Chieko blinked. Who was this small sassy lost child?
