“Nyet!” Leoniya immediately pressed her back against the tank, spreading her arms wide across it, giving Katherine a mild glare. “No, you do not touch Valeri! I built him myself!” She’d turn back towards the tank, gently caressing his plating with a finger, tail swishing happily back and forth. “He’s a delicate little baby, yes he is. Stupid demon hurting him…hmph, if I ever see that demon again I’ll rip her little frilly horns off…mama rat won’t let anyone hurt you, eheheh…”

…Lenoya was now off in her own little world, it seemed.

The dolls remaining had started patrolling, walking quietly around the area, marching in time and checking the perimeter. A few had taken to cleaning up a few stray demons that had remained while others were standing by. It was one of these doing some cleanup, that would alert Katherine to a disturbance.

“What an adorable looking construct.” Katherine would overhear as he’d reach down to pat one of the dolls on the head with his gloved hand. A ring was being worn on his finger. It looked fairly expensive, though the gem and metal it was made from was unidentifiable. “I thought I heard fighting and was going to lend my assistance, but it seems as though that is unneeded.” His voice was fairly smooth and young sounding despite his somewhat aged appearance.

“But cake is healthy! Mom always complains about it going to her thighs!” She’d cheerfully rebuke Lurecia’s urging for healthier foods and offer some perhaps, some information Myrilla wasn’t particularly keen on sharing. 

The headless furnace shrieked, gurgling as it was pierced by the knives, holes and wounds shredded into its large body, only slowing down enough to raise one of its arms to block the knives from hitting its main body and only serving to enrage itself further. It’d take the same arm as it neared, making a wide, crushing sweep with its large arm in an attempt to crush. This was followed up by a lunge forward in whatever direction the maid would be after. A second, humanoid demon would blast a stream of fire in her direction as well from behind. The child on her back was clinging tightly still, though she had her eyes closed and was avoiding looking at anything.

The ones swarming Lucrecia were somewhat easier to deal with, but numerous all the same. The humanoid ones would fall to the ground, stunned as bullets ripped through them, but their flesh quickly regenerated from wounds only giving her a few moments to finish them off or to focus on taking care of a closer threat - that just so happened to be one headbutting her from behind, slamming its maw into her back.

Lyssa, meanwhile, continued to happily engage with the demons. As she’d slam her fist into one, crushing its entire upper body in her gauntlet, a screech from behind was all the warning she had as a second headless furnace [i]slammed into her from behind.[/i]

“Gweh!”

She’d shout in mild pain as she was tackled by the beast, its large hands wrapping around her waist and slamming her into a nearby wall, destroying even more of the already weakened support structure of the theater.

Which, subsequently, caused the entire rest of the building to creak and groan.
