[color=50a968][b]Skills:[/b][/color] N/A[/center][hr][hr] Noticing the sound that Casey announced and the fact the rogue group wasn't paying much attention as they seeming to eagerly bicker amongst themselves. No decided to use the time to quickly craft the bolster rune on her palm. The rogue team didn't seem to be bad people. If they were they'd have attacked both Casey and herself the moment they entered the room. Instead they just disarmed them, not to mention they had spoke of the fact there were things kept from them from Gardner when they were given the task. So if down the hall came a threat to them all the best she could do is give someone a boost. So as they bickered the the steps came closer Jo slyly pulled the pen from her pocket, knowing she couldn't sneakily take out her brush and ink. She slowly removed the cap and snapped the tip off the top of the plastic ink tube. Quickly, with the action engrained in her muscle memory she brushed the open tube of ink across her palm in practiced stroke. She peaked down at her palm and noticed a few lines that needed reinforcement. She quickly brushed and thickened the lines. As soon as she finished stepped entered the room, her heart sank with concern until her eyes fell upon familiar figures. She let out a sigh of relief. [color=50a968][b]"Oh thank God."[/b][/color] she breathed out the words in relief. She didn't know how the group would react to their entrance so she came up with a tactic. Jo casually walked to Elara and hugged the girl, the hand with the written rune lightly laid against the nape of Elara's neck. With a faint pinch against the girls skin the rune connected the two, a magical warmth radiate through Elara slightly; making Elara feel a sense of empowerment through her. While it was only barely active if things went sideways Jolene could pump Elara with magical power to increase her abilities. Jo released Elara from the hug and addresses the room. [color=50a968][b]"They stated there is more going on than we were told. And I feel inclined to believe them. This whole thing seemed off since the start. But they haven't really told us their side of things. Except that the unconscious guy has his mind swapped and they're trying to correct the issue "[/b][/color]
