[center]Hugo's Study | Daytime[/center]

She remembered the days back then when she could deal with surprises and even mostly enjoyed them. But then those were mundane things; surprise birthday party, surprise gifts, surprising reunion with a longtime friend... Ever since she became a Lotus Sentry however, surprises had only ever meant trouble. A surprised clandestine agent generally quickly became a dead clandestine agent and while she had no qualms about being killed in the line of duty, she would rather not die if she can help it, especially not due to some nasty magical surprise. And this was exactly that type of surprise, yet again. Again and again, magic on a level far beyond what she could possibly muster herself kept on happening, all despite the fact that she had only been in Ersand'Enise for a relatively short time.

She repressed a sigh, keeping it all internally within her mind while her face showed an expression as neutral as always. She was already ensnared in it, and it didn't seem like Manfred or the others that she knew revealed any intent to leave, so she might as well stay and see where this less than welcome surprise will lead her.

Still, she was very uneasy and more than just a bit intimidated. In fact, it went beyond that. Due to her training and experiences in the Lotus Sentry, Eun-Ji had barely ever felt fear nor ever felt intimidated, not even when facing a vastly superior foe under disadvantageous condition like what happened the night before with the masked Magusjaeger. As far as she can recall, only three individuals incited an immediate feeling of dread into her mind just with their presence alone: The Cruel, His Majesty of Tan Keoul, Cheol Sang-nam. Avrael, the Shadow-Killing Phantom, Volto Bianco of the Dieci Volti Nascosti. And lastly the Lightning Falcon, leader of the Lotus Sentry, Commander Han Yeong-Gi.

Hugo Hunghorasz, then, had easily became the fourth. And it was not because of his legendary reputation or his rumored god-like powers as the greatest mage who ever lived. More than that, it was because something about him felt very wrong. She didn't know exactly why, but being this close to the Paradigm made Eun-Ji felt very uneasy. Pretty much by instinct, she had moved herself behind Manfred so that she were hidden from Hugo's direct line of sight. She paid little attention to Leon's comment about dressing state and to Zarra's incorporeality show. Nor did she paid any heed to Carmillia and Dorothea's interaction. Instead, she focused her mind and sight to the papers filled with the details of the mission, both as preparations for the mission itself and to push her unease and worry away from her mind.
