It was enough to have her wipe away a stray tear of joy as they gathered together, her Yari assembled and as openly displayed as Otis' revolver. Along her dominant arm laid a Talisman of Protection freshly applied with more to spare, her calligraphy an easier skill to improve then most of her other scholastic pursuits, and something she grew to appreciate in preparation for the mission to come. She could have applied a suitable talisman to her spear, but she hadn't a clue how such would play with the effects of it's head, nor did she dare risk their success on such wild experiments. No, she had all she needed in her hands and at her back already. [color=crimson]"Our enemies fought us when we were but children with sticks and stones. They're ambitions will die when they see what assails them now that they have no shadow to hide within."[/color] [color=crimson]"Though I must confess I worry over the presence of that assassin. Coward though she was, I fear such failings in her character would see her try to hurt Seirin in the moment we liberate her. We should not ignore the threat she poses or the skill she has in evading her just punishment."[/color] The blonde drew closer, body tense with anticipation, readied to crash upon their foes with the relentless ferocity of once certain they fought for a just cause. No one could stand against them united as they were, prepared as they were, and buoyed onwards by the sheer necessity of their success. [color=crimson]"If all goes well neither the would-be thunder god nor the murderess will persist long enough to see Seirin freed. Unlike those fiends, we will not let them continue merely to gloat over victory."[/color]
