Look at it this way, I'm much more useful to you now than I was before~."[/color] Akiko's words began to sew themselves into the world around her, almost like she was leaving an impact herself. Regardless, ignoring the obvious elephant gun wielding avatar that Kanbaru was protected by (some defense mechanism, considering the target of said gun), Akiko glanced at the Windela card and ended up stroking her finger along its edge. [color=hotpink]"No worries, my friend. We'll reunite you with your other half soon enough."[/color] Akiko grinned, looking all around the floor for a moment before her gaze settled back on Kanbaru. [color=hotpink]"Oh, are you referring to Nephetos? I'm not scared of your..."[/color] She paused, making a so-so motion in her hand. [color=hotpink]"Puppy-dog-threats, bluey, and I'm sure Lorelai would love to mount your head on a wall. Alas, we've got other things to consider here, so we're to do what we need and move from this floor to the next, yes?"[/color] She straightened her suit slightly. [color=hotpink]"You tell me what I can't see, I tell you what I can. We figure out a plan from there."[/color] The annoyance in the air was palpable and persistent, like a faulty sauna. To any, it was evident that Akiko was a little done with Kanbaru's act. The cat looked at her remaining cat card and stared at it.
