Himiko stood her ground, she showed her first sign of some kind of emotion and reaction. Her golden eyes half closed, she stared straight at Ayana for a brief moment while she went about her ritual. She wouldn’t admit or acknowledge that there was a pleasing quality to the stone massage, but she didn’t have time to mess around. She slowly brought up her right hand in no real rush until she grabbed a solid hold of Ayana by her cheek. Pinching it with a tug, stretching it out in the process as nonchalantly possible.

[color=f7941d]“I don’t have a desire to buy a new washing machine, if you are worried about being a depraved esper then you are late to the party, we are long past the point of being labeled depraved, they label anyone who disagrees with their narrow world view depraved…” [/color]

Giving her cheek an even stronger tug as she reached up her left hand to take off the tinfoil hat and crumpled it in her hand. [color=f7941d]“I’m not taking on that frauds persona, Oros the Mad does not belong in this world, this is my world, the world of Oros the Greedy, do not concern yourself with my relative we have more important things to take care of, we can deal with that later”[/color]

Hearing the Pounder’s arrival back to her position as she glanced over her shoulder upon the sound of his voice. She finally released Ayana’s cheek as she turned to face him  she tossed the crumpled tin foil over her shoulder towards Ayana. Her emotionless gaze found the abacus in his grasp she reached out and took a hold of it  giving a small nod. [color=f7941d]“Yes, this is it, you have done well…now we wait for our transportation”[/color]It felt good to finally have it back in her hands, it was something she valued far more then just as her Grimoire, a piece of her past she still held dear. She felt a new sense of power rush into her now reunited with it and her Endless Eclispe now her gaze shifted towards MDP and locked onto her.

[color=f7941d]“They wouldn’t hesitate to hurt you if you had something they wanted, the goal isn’t to hurt them, the goal is to collect the artifacts that two of them have, if you are able to collect either one without having to hurt them then be my guest, but Orion or Cerberus don’t seem like the type to allow that so easily or without a fight”[/color] Even though she hadn’t been present when MDP had expressed her concerns to Pink Pounder, it was almost like she had been. Though MDP’s body language was easy enough to read since she had returned with the Pounder.

Himiko took a moment to lean her head towards her Endless Eclipse perched on her shoulder as she gave a nod of her head [color=f7941d]“We might be in luck, it would seem that Cerberus has found herself in some trouble, as has Orion, it will make our job easier when we arrive, Cerberus has already had to resort to some of her trump cards”[/color] Her golden eyes glowed as she seemed to be gathering up information even as she stood before them even if she hadn’t been at the battlefield, she had still felt Cerberus’s power in use. The more power that Cerberus and Orion had to burn through before they arrived the better.

[color=f7941d]“What is the ETA on our arrival to the battlefield”[/color] Speaking to Bookman without looking at him with a nonchalant tone, her gaze remained with MDP and Pink Pounder as they awaited the next course of action now that Himiko had regained her Grimoire and with it, her newfound potential power,for the first time her Endless Eclipse and Grimoire were at her disposal.
