From inside Kaeru's hat could be heard a croak in protest of what Boleite had said, possibly arguing their endurance. 

[color=a2d39c]"I wouldn't underestimate these not-so-little guys, but suit yourself."[/color]

She barely had time to finish that sentence before Topaz grabbed her by the shoulders, Sayuri's fingers lingering on her cheek for a second, clearly surprised by this sudden European farewell. [color=82ca9d]"Hum... I'll think a-about it... See you around."[/color] before shaking the surprise off. 

Seeing the Gems scatter after that was almost a relief. It seemed like the fight was over before it began and everyone would go back in their ring's corner for the night. The fact Topaz offered help to the club all the same was not lost on Sayuri, though. 

After having bid farewell to Boleite, she was about to leave too when her attention go caught by Pearl, one of the Gems Sayuri didn't get to interact with yet. Her interlocuter, though, she'd met; Hizuki. Sayuri got interested in what the Witch-looking girl had to say.

The more she learned about that Beach event, the more Sayuri was convinced her own point of view on the Club wasn't flawed. 

[color=82ca9d]"My!"[/color] Hizuki'd hear from behind Pearl. [color=82ca9d]"Where did you hear that before?"[/color] On this quip she'd have left, but felt a little bad for Hizuki. All in all, she was doing what she thought was just. 

[color=82ca9d]"Helping others is never wrong. Trying to rise them up is noble - just don't let them bring you down at their level, Hizuki. Come talk anytime, if you don't know where just ask your glorious Leader."[/color]

With a leap into the night, Sayuri disappeared back towards her mountain.
