Not too bad looking, I guess,"[/color] Erika joked when Katie approached Thomas and began explaining their situation. However, she soon came back to her business mood, after a taste of the drink she just got from a passing bunny attendant not too long ago. [color=gold]"Anyway, we probably should talk less and do more princess rescuing, before they decide to take her to another castle if you get what I mean,"[/color] she said, keeping her cool sense of humor.

[color=gold]"I agree with you on that part. In fact, I think it's strange to see you suggesting doing something with subtlety for once, instead of just taking what you want by force. Am I right, 'Black Beast'?"[/color]

Right after Erika made her last comment, she pulled a small plaque with a number from her coat. [color=gold]"Don't worry, though, I came prepared. After all, what kind of bodyguards would we be if we didn't foresee every possibility?"[/color] She commented as a number of the other guests also produced similar plaques, right on time for the auction that would determine Riku's fate.

[color=gold]"Thinking about it, I never bought a princess before. Maybe I'll have fun with it."[/color]
