Aria nodded with an unusually confident grin for the usually shy child. The girl put the Exceed down on the ground before she sat against a felled tree's stump. The cat climbed back into her arms where he would curl up and fall asleep. "Skyler, don't let Booker down. The enemy aren't terrible at using magic, so be careful..."

The black & white Exceed opened one eye and smiled, "I was made for this kinda thing! Don't worry your pretty blue head about it." He assured Aria, then he gave Booker a thumbs/paw up before shutting his eye to get some rest before the operation began. Aria meanwhile assumed she was to [I]not[/I] get involved in the fighting, at least if it could be helped. Even though she packed a Dragon's punch, she still found it hard to hurt others - this would undoubtedly lead to the dark mages taking advantage.
