Floating off alone and barely listening to the ongoing meeting, Liliana would grip Whimsy tightly in her hands. ...She didn't get it back from Cecilia directly, but rather from Whimsy flying back by herself. Liliana was an idiot, sure, but even she had moments of overthinking. Was Cecilia not returning it because she'd already left?

If everyone was already leaving...what was she supposed to do?

Maybe if she ran to the shore, she could still make it-

Liliana would practically decide her team with a coin flip, winding up standing amidst the group bound for the first assault plan. So far that consisted of Nobutada and Gringor, the usually chipper fairy uncharacteristically quiet as she held her sword against her like a pillow.

With quiet hesitation, Liliana braced herself for whatever this plan required, only for her to see a ghost that shouldn't be there. Alice was standing next to her, seemingly talking as she always had. Liliana was sure of it. She'd gone so crazy that she was imagining that Cecilia was Alice again. Or maybe she was just coping and imagining Alice was here to fight with them. Either way, Liliana's mind had no choice but to shut everything else out and shrink down to hide in a flower until it was time. ...She just had to stop overthinking and keep her promises. That's all. Hiding amidst a half-bloomed flower, she would hug Whimsy against her chest as she waited for the start of the operation. Maybe while the second team took the tower, she'd have time to piece herself together again...and see Cecilia, like she promised she would.

With the talks finished in private, Eula would take up her desired team, believing that her speed and ranged capabilities made her a match for the stealth operation the second team was carrying out. But, to her surprise, rather than Carroll and Cecilia, their unified state, "Alice" walked among the task force once again. A miracle, or just a temporary sacrifice, Eula couldn't be sure...but she was sure that she saw Liliana shrink away somewhere upon seeing her.

Even if she was more in touch with her own emotions now than when she arrived, Eula still didn't understand why the fairy was hiding. But it also wasn't something that she thought she should intervene with. For better or worse, what was going on here was between Alice and Liliana. As such, Eula would give a quiet nod of acknowledgement to Alice, and Carroll as her armament. [color=C48BD3][b]"We'll have to strike hard and fast,"[/b][/color] the automaton said, flicking her wrist and transforming it into her demonic energy stun gun, leveling it, checking for any signs of instability in her aim before changing her hand back. She hadn't engaged in combat much with Skarsneek or the three Shizuyaman warriors, but hoped to be effective at this blitz tactic approach.
