[h2]Miina Malina[/h2]

Ah, damn it, couldn't these people have the good sense to just burn to death in the exploding warehouse? Or at least fall unconscious, or be distracted by the burns, or [i]something![/i] What was the good of setting up a big explosion if everyone was left standing afterwards? She'd have to go ask Elly for pointers.

Of course, that would require surviving. At least that was made easier by everyone loudly talking about their plans – and thank you, small little healing, for making sure that ringing went away – but [i]now[/i] Rudolf was here. So… just running was probably out of the picture, Miina didn't want to have to explain to everyone else why she had left him to be stabbed to death by whoever-it-was  in a building [i]she[/i] had set on fire.

And he was nice enough. Even if he was weird and carried around a sword he had no plans to use.

Flinging herself out of the way of the first brace of knives, the Mystral hastily pushed herself off of all fours and ready to meet the foreign woman blade-to-blade—

Well, nearly. 

"[i]Haste. Protect. Blink,[/i]" Aaaaah, this was going to suck; she probably only had one more spell in her. This was what she got for using magic all day to keep up with the constant drinking. And then going in for a OHKO. And then blowing a building up.

Okay, so Miina had done quite a lot, all told, the real problem was showing up dressed to… not blend in, but not really be out of place. This would have to compensate for armour – and thank you, again, Rudolf, for buying the moments needed – and [i]only having a knife[/i] for now. Hopefully, Rudolf would finish with the others or something [i]fast[/i], so Miina could either get an opportunity… or flee…

Or maybe whoever this was would just get bored. Sounded like her plan was toast if everyone else was dead, whatever it was.
