[color=d9457c][b]"Oh?"[/b][/color] Remilia was more intrigued than disappointed when Rayne explained the intricacies of her teleportation power, all the minute details elaborating why all five of them couldn't simply be instantaneously transported back to this village. [color=d9457c][i]I see... so this curious ability of hers is built upon the concept of altruism. The more gratitude she receives, the more powerful she becomes, in a way, not unlike how deities in Gensokyo feed off devotion of their worshippers, the more they have, the more powerful they become.[/i][/color] The Scarlet Devil mused as she casually rubbed her chin, continuing to listen to Rayne, [color=d9457c][b]"I won't deceive you, the fact that you can't teleport yourself and others who haven't yet established a Link with you doesn't quite help our current situation."[/b][/color] Remilia's shoulders shrugged briefly, [color=d9457c][b]"However, tis' what it is."[/b][/color] While she supposed Lewa and herself could be sent back by simply linking with Rayne, that'd leave the Knight-Witch alone with Elaine and her baby, that - obviously - wouldn't be a wise decision for their goal as rescuers.

[color=d9457c][b]"I am unable to say for sure as I do not know this human,"[/b][/color] The vampiress once again shrugged her shoulders, [color=d9457c][b]"But I do know this, every individual awakens at their own pace, depending on quite a number of factors. As far as my experience goes, the general pattern is that the more powerful an individual is, the faster they'll regain consciousness, and this human female appears to be an ordinary specimen of her kin."[/b][/color] Remilia deduced as best as she could given her lack of knowledge about Elaine, [color=d9457c][b]"Furthermore, I must also mention that due to one reason or another, I've lost most of my prowess after my sudden exodus from Gensokyo,"[/b][/color] She paused briefly, [color=d9457c][b]"I may not appear as such, but I'm currently experiencing constant aches throughout my body even as we speak."[/b][/color] So... once again, tis' what it is. [color=d9457c][b]"I believe we should let her awaken on her own, but if it's any consolation to you, Lady Rayne, I can assure you that she is now fine, alive, just unconscious."[/b][/color]

With their next course of action set, Remilia took note that Lewa would be the one to carry the humans, a wise initiative considering what someone of his stature could do. [color=d9457c][b]"Of course, please lead the way, Sir Lewa."[/b][/color] She elegantly gestured with her arm as the Toa of Air began ascending the stairs, back to where they came from, Remilia simply followed suit by hovering behind him. 

[color=d9457c][b]"Tch..."[/b][/color] Of course, the first thing she was immediately reminded of after their egress was the accursed rain, the endless, ceaseless, pouring droplets. [color=d9457c][i]And to think that I wasn't even given the chance to bring my parasol...[/i][/color] Though her current apparel - bonnet, dress, and shoes all - had been enchanted to self-repair and self-clean over time, it didn't lessen the cold and damp discomfort of being drenched in rainwater. This, plus the revelation that the emerald-plated mechanical-man somehow managed to lose his sense of direction. [color=d9457c][i]...[/i][/color] Was Remilia perplexed? Somewhat, annoyed? Even more so, however, instead of making a sarcastic quip that'd achieve nothing, the gears in the Fate Seamstress' mind began turning. Peculiarly, without Remilia herself realizing it, losing her powers and being separated from her family and servants compelled the lost mistress to behave more pragmatic than usual, and she was already known to be the wisest member of the Scarlet Devil Manor.

Thus, after a moment of weaving the 'perfect' scheme, Remilia turned toward Rayne, [color=d9457c][b]"I'd normally loath to be a beggar, but as things stand, I must beseech you to lend me your headwear, Milady."[/b][/color] Once the Halfling Knight-Witch had deigned to temporarily hand over her sizable hat to her, Remilia would use it as a makeshift umbrella as she began ascending toward the gloomy sky. Once she had gotten enough altitude, she'd survey the horizons, spotting a collection of man-made structures not too far away. [color=d9457c][i]That must be the village.[/i][/color] After taking note of its general direction, she descended back down, her wings ceased flapping as her feet touched the rain-soaked ground. 

[color=d9457c][b]"Thank you, Lady Knight-Witch."[/b][/color] Though initially hesitant, she offered the hat back to its rightful owner. After that, she nodded at both Rayne and Lewa, [color=d9457c][b]"I've located the hamlet, I'll take us there."[/b][/color] Without further ado - in no small part due to wanting to get some shelter - Remilia began trekking through the forest, toward the direction of the recently-raided village. There, she'd get her quite-overdue answers...
