Karin jumped to her feet at the appearance of the man who leaped off the roof, her hand going to her side as if something were supposed to be there. She was confused for a moment before realizing that there was nothing there, and there hadn't been for quite some time. Phillip seemed to have the situation under control already, though, as he was already talking to the dark figure. When the man, Gus, apparently, had left, she stood there in shock. Charming? [i]That[/i] Charming? The same one he'd heard of so often before? What was happening to the world now? 

She looked back at Ella after being instructed to hide. "Why would I do that? That would be so uncool! After all, I was practically born on the battlefield, so I'm sure you could use my impressive abilities in something like this!" 
Karin stood confidently, like a proud warrior should and beamed at the lady in front of her. Already she could feel the adrenaline that comes before a fight building up, and how she had missed it. "Besides, it sure beats being locked up again by that lady back at the cottage."
