Her peace and quiet was soon interrupted as a lone Rune Knight approached the seated Grasidia. [color=gray]"Are you injured, ma'am?"[/color] he simply asked, surely because of all the blood she was covered in. She simply looked back up at him silently, waiting for him to get the hint and walk away. But the awkward silence continued for a moment as this soldier seemed intent on assisting her. [color=lawngreen]"No, I am fine,"[/color] she finally spoke after a sigh, now standing up to her feet. [color=gray]"Okay just making sure. You should still get yourself checked out just in case. That dragon was pretty devastating and all."[/color] Now Grasidia was getting annoyed with the kind stranger's persistence. [color=lawngreen]"This blood is not from me."[/color] Before the Rune Knight could try again to convince her to seek medical assistance she began walking back towards her gathered guildmates, leaving him baffled and confused about her state. Clearly he didn't see the earlier displays and thought she was just a civilian.

It appeared that most of her guildmates were just lingering now. Since Grasidia's curse did a significant amount of the search and rescue work, and now her comrades were just entertaining themselves and nearby civilians, she felt no reason to stay in Era any longer. She took a deep breath to steel herself before speaking up. [color=lawngreen]"I'll be returning to the guild."[/color] After announcing her intentions she held her hand over the ground nearby and began forming her Leaf Caravan again. [color=lawngreen]"You can take the train."[/color] It wasn't that it was particularly taxing for her to bring them all back, to the contrary it would be no effort at all, but unless anyone spoke up to hitch a ride then Grasidia simply didn't feel obligated to bring anyone else back. After all she only brought them all out to Era due to the urgency of the situation under Torys' orders, not out of the goodness of her heart. Though, almost as if on cue, a floating airship began to descend from the sky.

It landed nearby on the pavilion, where the dragon's body used to be in fact as that was the widest space without any people in the way. There were two young men on board, teenagers as far as Grasidia could tell, who were operating the thing. One of them hopped over the side onto the ground before running up to the guild. [color=silver]"Wow, we saw almost everything until those clouds showed up,"[/color] the kid spoke up once he stopped. [color=silver]"We were pretty high up so it was difficult, but the Saint fellow we were transporting told us what was going on. After the clouds obscured us for a moment he just... jumped off! I tried to tell him it would take a few minutes to land but he was in a rush."[/color] Grasidia realized that these two and their airship would make fine transportation back to Crocus for the rest of her guild, thus she decided she had nothing to feel bad over for not offering a ride. [color=silver]"We're with Obsidian Kite and I called our master and told him what was going on here in Era. He's offering your guild a free ride back to your homes once you're ready, so that maybe one day you might save us if we ever need it! At least that's what he said."[/color]

[color=lawngreen][i]Perfect, they offered instead,[/i][/color] Grasidia thought to herself before stepping onto her fully formed giant leaf. It was large enough for her to sit down on this time, unlike the one she took to Era, so she quickly seated herself with crossed legs all the while keeping her gaze on the mage from Obsidian Kite. [color=silver]"But I gotta ask: who are you guys? I've never seen that guild mark before."[/color]
