Much had happened since the princess was lost in the haze, but eventually snapped out of it by Thomas. When the visions of her mother had left her, her mind was still caught in a storm of mixed emotions in the illusion's wake. The loud beastial roars of the black dragon and Kanbaru's warnings soon snapped her back to reality.

[color=ed145b]"So that thing is Katie!? What!? We can't just go attack her!"[/color] The princess hesitated immediately. 

[color=ed145b]"Can we try and speak to her? Being in that state can't be good for her and this isn't the way we should use to break out of here. Why don't we try and calm her? Maybe my Lola card could be put to work and speak to her."[/color]

Riku would channel the serei energy inside herself and prepare herself to try and talk down the mighty dragon. 

[color=ed145b]"A dirty creature such as yourself couldn't match Katie anyways. I can speak to her on her own terms and there's no need to agitate her further. You'd likely just fuel her fire."[/color]

Nephy is indeed not her usual self. She is quiet and listless, keeping away from the group and observing the beast directly from afar. She'd check over the hilt of her blade and wonder what her family would've wanted for her. Her mother's dreams of her living a peaceful life fell away to Nephy's path to the sword. It did not sit well with her using Katie in such a manner.

[color=92278f]"I am just feeling this is not the way we intended is all. Nor do I think this is our moment, as other forces that be have forced our hand in a way that I find annoying."[/color]

She did not want to speak any further of the JSTR, and would stick by Runa's side.

[color=92278f]"I suppose they will know now that you are not who you say you are. Perhaps Katie will kill off some of the weaker runts of the litter and make our jobs easier."[/color]
