Kathelia tries to look cool. When the last Queen goes down, she tries to lower her head and push her glasses up so the light reflects off them just so and she gets that perfect chessmaster look. But, seriously, she can't hold it, she's so giddy. Her little Pegasus-clad butt bounces in her seat, and before she can help herself she's pulling in her elbows and lifting her arms up to cover face and jiggling her legs as she giggles and just...just being giddy all over. She won! She won! 

A-and, Kyouko is cheering and waving pom-poms and l-looking right at her aaaaaaaaah! She pulls into herself and shrinks to cover her face entirely with her hands and before you know it, she's in the winner's tent, what?! She tentatively uncovers one eye, then the other, and there's cake in front of her. And oooh, it's that chocolate with a little layer of raspberry jam cake that is just so decadent and delicious. This is extremely exciting, although maybe not as exciting as winning and having Kyouko cheering for her. She starts to blush again and hurriedly hides it by taking a bite of the cake. Heavenly.

Okay, okay, safely amped up on sugar and succes, Kathelia has the option to take stock. In some ways, she's a little disappointed. They all moved into a tent, but she can't see the former battleground or get a sense of the overall maze. She was hoping that Eupheria would escalate the stakes by moving them closer and closer to the center. It just made sense to her that as the games got bigger and closer to the finals, they'd progressively move somewhere more important and draw a larger crowd until eventually they got to center court, or whatever it was called here. That's just...that's how these things were supposed to work. She couldn't tell for sure though. If they weren't gaining ground from this, she'd need to rethink her strategy, maybe use the next game as a way to try and get under Eupheria's skin instead of focusing on winning.

One thing that was good though, Dandy looked a little more together. Smug, sure, but committed and back into saving them too. "Dandy..." Kathelia said, walking over to her with her plate of cake. "You were thuper good out there. Like, theriously awethome!" She gives her a braces-filled grin. "I know today hath been like, inthanely weird but...we're gonna get through thith. Together." She turns, looks at Isolde. "You too, King Itholde, right? We haven't really had the chanthe to talk, but I really look up to your daughter, sthe's one of my betht frienth."

[I'd like to use the time in the tent to take a relatively safe speak softly with Dandy and Isolde. 5+1+1=7. 
To Dandy: what can she tell us based on her experience about how to get through to Eupheria?
To Isolde: What does Isolde want and how can I help her get it?
To Isolde: What can she tell us about Eupheria and her motivations?]
