It was a problem that someone else was brought along.

When Trixy first started talking, only the very first sentence was important to Mariette. She threw a single glance at one of the paintings, and an alarm went through the heads of every Magical Girl in the building that was connected to Asengav, that is, everyone but Mariette’s guests. Girls that were out on missions were called back, traps were in the process of being armed, various monsters set in place to be unleashed, measures and countermeasures were activated around weak points, and magical girls all over the building started scurrying towards their positions… which left Mariette with the duty of calling for and briefing her allies. 

… Silhouette appeared. However, she was not the only one that had appeared. Su appeared, which made Mariette widen her one visible eye a bit. Her lips parted, wanting to say something… when her gaze met Helga right behind. The feelings were mutual, as Mariette’s eye narrowed towards her, suspicious of her intentions, for Mariette had no reason to believe Helga was not a mole placed there by Justine. That aside, there was someone significantly louder that had also come in, alongside Alex.

[color=077ae6]‘The maid is not mine, she’s an ally. Meet Trixy. I’m happy you could come, Lily, Alex. Silhouette, you’re a scary magical girl, I’m happy to have you with us on this side. And…’[/color] Mariette then looked towards Su.

[color=077ae6]‘Su…’[/color] she muttered, a bit softened in her expression. [color=077ae6]‘I would have liked to speak with you, but it’s a bit of a bad time. Justine is coming to attack. … I apologize for this, but…’[/color] Mariette turned to look directly at Helga.

[color=077ae6]‘Helga. Are you intending to betray Su’s trust?’[/color] Mariette asked. 

"I would never betray Su, even if I had to risk my life for it. Unlike certain other people," Helga replied.

[color=077ae6]‘You're no longer connected with Justine in any way, then, and will not leak my battlefield information to anyone in the outside world granted I'm true to my word?’[/color]

"I'm here to make sure Su is safe, and that Justine won't hurt people again. Nothing more," Helga replied again, glaring at Mariette.

Light-specialization noticed no lies. Very well. Mariette’s doubts were slightly quelled. She turned to Su again.

[color=077ae6]‘It’s a bit dangerous for the two of you here, without a key the traps of this mansion will treat you as an enemy. If you’re here to help, I’m eternally thankful, but you should make sure never to leave the side of someone with a key, then. Even straying a couple meters from them could be dangerous,’[/color] Mariette said to Su. Then, to Alexander.

[color=077ae6]‘You’re correct, the dark void is a trap. If a party without a key entered, they would have been annihilated in there,’[/color] Mariette replied to Alexander’s question about a trap, revealing she’d heard him. [color=077ae6]‘But, as you’re a friend of mine, you’re safe,’[/color] she quickly added. [color=077ae6]‘Justine von Visceral is starting her attack, so my allies are gathering. Still, it sounded like Lily maybe didn’t know and only came to talk about something…’[/color] Mariette said, and looked to Lily. [color=077ae6]‘Was there something you wanted to talk about?’[/color]

While waiting/listening for a reply, Mariette opened a gateway into her Hammerspace Handbag. In there she found… the phone from Umu had disappeared? Strange. Did that mean the “alliance” with Beacon had shattered already? … There was a weird premunition in that something was off. Still… she reached for the aquamarine shell she’d received from Dan. It was what she’d been looking for in the first place. She took it, and with the intention of letting them prepare a bit before the attack actually happened, she brought it to her ear, just as intended for Dan and company to bring them over here… not actually knowing what they were currently doing.
