Regardless, she felt like she had changed yet again. She definitely didn't feel as catty as she did when she had absorbed Smitten, but she did feel more different. More... powerful, almost. Maybe not physically, but the second cat tail definitely sparked some notice. Whether that was some sort of inherent idealized form of Akiko now that she had more control over her form, or if it was just her powers flexing their muscle, she didn't care. It was definitely neat though, and she'd have to give it a fair bit more experimentation. Good thing she had a solid area to test things on now that Rose stole this airship. She wondered for a moment if she could have both human [i]and[/i] cat ears, before realizing that having two sets of ears wasn't very... beneficial in the long run. Speaking of Rose... wasn't there loot to grab? Oh, good heavens! Akiko had almost forgot, being caught up in the now-blank card in her in hands. She tucked the card away in some kind of dimension before she looked up at Lorelai with a smile. [color=hotpink]"Lorelai, dear, may I borrow that relic for just a moment?"[/color] Akiko asked her knight, knowing that the answer would be yes in the end. She stepped over to the bow of the ship, Purple Relic in hand, before she held her other arm out and began to channel whatever power the Purple Relic gave her. Though it startled her at first, the gusts of wind that picked up due to Akiko's influence began to quickly suck in whatever clouds of gold, treasure, and no doubt the same currency that Akiko had laid claim to just before. As each speck of yellow coinage flowed close to Akiko, she could feel her wealth accumulating fast, approaching [color=92278f]44,240 Bees[/color] before Akiko began to grow a little bit dizzy with power, the vacuum shutting off and Akiko stumbling a few steps backward into Lorelai's arms. [color=hotpink]"Haah... for a first time, I hope that wasn't too embarrassing to watch,"[/color] she chuckled. [color=hotpink]"Please, don't think of me as too weak, Lorelai. This is power that I'm still trying to get used to, after all."[/color]
