[She nods.]

Yes, I am fine. I was not among those who engaged Riki directly. [She supposes she should be thankful for her health, though the bleak situation rather dampens any gratitude she might have.] What of you, Taiki?

[He has never seemed to like violence very much.]

[notagiraffe]

I'm glad... [He didn't like the idea of anyone being hurt. Not even Riki but he was keeping his grief at that to himself, he knew it would not be something the others understood and it didn't shock him this time, not like when they had killed Jason.]

I'm alright... Just... it's a bit scary.... I'm not sick though... because the glamour is off... [About one of the only good things about it being off was that his blood sickness disappeared, since the blood wasn't actually real.]

[sageprincess]

I see. That is... one thing we can count among our blessings, then. [Even if it's scraping the bottom of the barrel, so to speak.] I am sorry there is not much I can do to make it less frightening.

[Truthfully, she's scared too, but one learns to hide such things after a while.]

[notagiraffe]

It's okay... [He has edged closer to the glass nearest to her, taking comfort from her voice] What... sorry what do you think is going to happen?

[sageprincess]

... Honestly? I... expect we will get a visit from Ruana at some point.

[And for the sake of the psyches of everyone down here, she'll not go into more detail than that.]

[notagiraffe]

She's going to be really mad... [He has enough imagination for it to be bad enough]
