W.W.H.D. (What would Hornet Do): As everyone knows, Hornet is the coolest, bestest princess in all of Hyperborea. She's smart and inventive and Kathelia hopes to one day be as good as Hornet at making stuff, but she knows she'll have to do lots of homework first before she can even get close to building real-life automatons and castle rockets and stuff. But in the meantime, Kathelia has realized (as she has been dragged before a ridiculous kangaroo court) that she can at least do her best to emulate her hero in every way possible as they make their way through the bazaar. Unfortunately, she lacks a goblin contract to set this agreement into proper and effective legalese, but lacking that she knows that by silently agreeing to the Bazaar's demands despite their unfair trial, she will be able to accomplish one (1) or more of the following objectives 
1) focus more precisely on considering the magic system in the dungeon without worrying about her surroundings, since she has such kind gremlins to carry her and Kyouko along
2) avoid distractions that would get in the way of her brainstorming thanks to the friendly gags provided by the market
3) Help craft inspiration through physical sensation, which the market is providing thanks to all this new clothing and gear they're giving her including an "I <3 Labyrinth Bazaar" backpack, cap, and a t-shirt that says "I fell through the Labazaar and all I got was this lousy t-shirt" as well as through the paddling, which is [i]very[/i] focusing and helpful for staying awake and ensuring that she won't doze off later.

So, even though Kyouko, for some strange reason, is squirming and shouting into her gag (and from Kathelia's sharp gaze also using that melodramatic cover and her pompoms to work on slowly pickign at the ropes around her hands with her little claws), Kathelia is enduring this in stoic silence. Well, she may be yelping into her gag each time she gets hit, but that's a reflex and she's just using those to keep time as she tries to focus her mind. Objective accomplished: door open. Next labyrinth zone analysis soon to start. Curse analysis ongoing and "mmmmrrrrph" that one really hurt, but that's fine, even if maybe some centaurs are a little overzealous in their physical focus increasement activities. 

[Kathelia will accept her clothing and spanks without running.]
