Kire snorted at the idea of being found charming by Zeke. As they headed towards Envy’s chamber, Kire paced slowly beside him, watching to see if he’d need help. “Hah. You’re probably the first person to say that those qualities of mine are [i]alluring[/i],” she remarked, though she did find the assessment amusing, especially the thought of her belonging to his guard unit. Ed had always teased her that she wouldn’t survive having to answer to somebody else as a soldier. 

Now that they could converse in private, Kire waited for the inevitable questions. “Amria is my world,” she replied, hands clasped behind her. “Yes, Ikegai is responsible for what happened six months ago. Not solely, but in concert with our enemies. And while my eyes were on the hunt for him, he had already been planning his escape here, with their help. Together they divided our attention.” She shook her head a bit. “Rulitus would have seen most of what I can do back in Ziad. I was given the power to traverse worlds and distances through portals, though this takes up much more energy than what Rulitus and Kartaians could do. I can use that energy for my way of travel, or I could use it to augment my strength and healing. Something to do with having dragon-blood, it seems. You don’t have dragons here, do you? Do you know what a dragon is?” she asked. “Have to remind myself there are differences between here and Amria.”
