[b][u]Los Paraisos: The Grande Diamond: Pool Room[/b][/u]

Lisette resurfaced as quickly as she crashed into the pool, gasping for air and sputtering chemical-y water. Her blonde bangs were flattened over her eyes, and she waved her arms around trying to find the edge of the pool. With one movement, she pushed herself onto the smooth stone floor and clawed her hair away from her face.

[i]"Dylan has a dangerous, dangerous weapon... oh, please get it away from us!"[/i]

Lisette's eyes popped open, looking around for the new threat to Mordie. She wasn't thinking straight, she couldn't recall that Dylan had been on her side just seconds ago; the only thing she knew was that Mordie was in danger, and Lisette needed to act, [i]now[/i]. She was becoming agitated, both from the powerful need to protect this precious person, while at the same time her mind was a painful, nagging jumble that vaguely knew this wasn't right at all.

Dylan had his back to her, facing Mordie and Lucien and scribbling onto his slate. A spiked shield appeared on his arm, and the sight of it spurred Lisette to pull herself up from the wet floor.

"Don't you dare hurt her...!" Lisette screamed, grabbing Dylan from behind and trying with all of her strength to hold his arms down. While she wasn't completely frail, there was no real technique or power in the attack, and there was a clear desperation in her voice and movements.
