 When Roma called her out specifically at the start of her long winded [s]bullshit[/s] speech, the masked maiden's stare caused Lupin to recoil with a flinch. For whatever reason she could tell her intentions, and it didn't help her win over the wolf girl's trust. In fact, it only made Lupin more ready to attack at the slightest hint of hostility. Tsubasa then went on to state her intentions, which to Celina only boiled down to [i]"The Pageless are innocent, you're the one's to blame, yada yada yada."[/i] It was admittedly boring to listen to. Thankfully most of the others seemed to agree, even Stripes spoke up about how utterly stupid Roma's plans were. Lupin looked over to the Tabby when she motioned over to her, but remained quiet.

 Rose, bless her heart, seemed too oblivous to even take this seriously. The wolf girl gave her and her groom a worried frown. She waited till everyone said their piece. If Ozma's assumption that this was a simulacrum of Moonlight Tsubasa, then someone had to keep a fluffy ear or two out for ambushers. Lupin's ears quirked straight up, twitching here and there like tuning a radio. And she finally spoke up, drawing back her scowl:

 [color=crimson]"Let's think of it like this. If we're supposed to surrender our Grimores; the ones that chose [i]us[/i] to wield their power, because you for some reason pity these parasites and blame us for them being bothersome, then why don't you untransform and let them eat [i]your[/i] grimore?"[/color] She jabbed back at the Celestial. Her tone remained cold. [color=crimson]"You say the Pageless obey the strongest, so let's see how they react to you without your power. Unless [i]you're[/i] the apparent- Who am I kidding, [i]obvious[/i] exception. Wouldn't surprise me if you were a megalomaniac."[/color] She shrugged.
