"Not him." Tinarah's eyes flicked to the Torrin who was standing in the distance. "But the other him. He wanted to get to me. He was fine breaking me and I got out but still, even away I still sense that he would take great pleasure in watching me struggle right now, and I hate that. I thought I escaped but I don't think I did and I don't know what to do now." Tinarah told her. She was trying to to say too much, trying not to bring the Master down like she had done to Aria. She just wanted her mind sorted before they were forced to move out, and as it seemed, hiding and doing dishes was not going to help. ​

Tinarah was in own silent space, oblivious to what was around her until she heard hissing. Turning back she noticed Nini and Take, Nini seeming to have put herself between them. She could see the concern on Take's face as he asked if she was alright, but before she could really answer, Nini had chased him away. Tinarah didn't know if she should be thankful to the cat or not, for she didn't want to talk in fear of messing things up again, but at the same time part of her was screaming out at him to not leave, she didn't want to be alone, still all she could do was watch him go.

Turning back to the dishes, Tinarah barely got started again before Nini was hissing and Tinarah paused to look at Master Thallasa. "Nini is just being protective, it is nothing against you." Tinarah tried to assure the Keyblade master as she looked down at the cat. "I am almost done the dishes, I am fine, it is a good distraction." It was a lie though, she wasn't fine, nothing was fine about this. What happened to the girl who looked Torrin in the eye and told him she would rather die then let him do anything to her. What happened to the girl who would meditate in silence and skip meals just to fight back enough to regain her keyblade or die trying. Why was it, when she got it back, she couldn't look anyone in the eye? She was letting him win by being like this. She was letting the Torrin of the other realm still dictate her life, even though she had gotten out. She escaped his physical cages, but not the mental ones.

"Master Thallasa... How am I... How do I talk to everyone without making them feel the need to help shoulder my problem. How do I face them? Every time I try it ends up being about how I am handling things and then it goes badly for either me or them. How do I get by? How do I not let him win? Even though I escaped I feel like he is still winning." Tinarah finally asked. She hadn't really the time to talk with Stamatis or Choma or Fost about any of this and while Thallasa wasn't her first choice at this point she was desperate. She felt like she was bringing Aria down when she spoke with her, and she had yet to have a conversation with Qamar that didn't end with her hurting. ​

Qamar had brought out her food and shoved it into her hands expecting her to eat. Meanwhile Tinarah could tell she messed up with Aria again and felt horrible for it. She didn't want to upset anyone, she didn't mean for that to happen. She just wanted to point out what she already knew based on the experiences so far, things that Aria might not have known, but she probably made things worse. On top of that as Qamar started to speak with her, Tinarah could feel herself getting more and more annoyed. Tinarah didn't clump anyone with anyone else for reasons besides what she had seen. She didn't actually care about the darkness, but as Qamar tried to compare herself to the Evil Torrin, that was the point Tinarah snapped. Everything else after that was just a hollow echo through her ears.

When Qamar finally stepped back for a moment giving Tinarah space, Tinarah stood up, looking at the ground again. She was starting to feel better with talking to Aria and feeling accepted by her, but then Qamar came up and started caving things in on her. There was no emotion to her face as Tinarah pushed past Qamar and walked inside, not even saying goodbye to Aria, though part of her at least wanted to apologize for messing up their little moment again. Walking back into the house Tinarah entered the kitchen once more, looking almost more dead inside than she when she first entered that morning. Scraping her food into the garbage, Tinarah went back to the sink to finish cleaning the dishes. Tinarah at one point had considered eating but changed her mind rather quickly after Qamar had spoken up. She had done the exact thing Boreas did, and decided that she should just pass it off and act like it never happened, acted like she could be in control of her anxiety and post traumatic stress disorder. It wasn't that easy, she wished it was but she couldn't just stop. None of what was said made Tinarah feel any better, if anything she just felt numb, completely numb in mind and body. She couldn't focus, she didn't know what she was doing, it just became a mindless routine of cleaning dishes, whatever was in the sink, and whatever else of Take's that she could clean. While she did the work, it seemed nothing around her was registering any more, and to her, it was for the best. ​

"Well that is just because my brother is a little over protective. I actually fell unconscious during the battle yesterday. Thanks to Qamar, then Chrono I was back up on my feet, and my brother continued to heal me. So you know, if it wasn't for that I would have been down and out I think. And I was barely able to stand yesterday, so I wouldn't say I was in a better shape." Tinarah tried to explain as she sighed and leaned back, just enjoying the rocking of the chair, letting it start to relax her a bit. Aria tried to assure her that everyone would understand but Tinarah knew better. "Boreas won't. He thinks that it is stupid for me to hold anything against him or Torrin because it wasn't them but a version of them from another time line. Like it is easy to just look at them and not see the evil that I had seen in the other realm. It is frustrating and makes me hate him more. At least Torrin doesn't try and pretend I have no right to be upset." Tinarah clearly wasn't happy with that situation but tried to not get too bitter about it.

Aria then suggested getting to know the Stamatis here and Tinarah was already thinking about it. "I want to, at least just enough that he teaches me how to get back. I don't know, the idea of training with the council there, it doesn't sit well. I miss the quiet castle in the woods where Uncle Fost would come visit. Maybe if I could train with Uncle Fost instead... but he is too important to be bothered with me." Tinarah stated as she sat back a little bit. "He said we would be in contact but I haven't heard from him again. I don't know what to think about it. I could always call him, but I don't want to annoy him either.." Tinarah went on speaking about Fost just as Aria tried to explain about a communicator that she had. "I can actually call them with my keyblade. I know how, I just... I don't want to annoy people, especially when he doesn't even know me in this realm, you know? Maybe when we are back, Gero said he would like to get to know me. At the very least I need to apologize for leading the Light Chaser straight to him, getting him hurt."​

"Your very... I don't know, you are just like I remembered you. It shouldn't be a surprise it has only been a few days, but for me it hasn't and I have changed so much so I expect others to have as well, but that is not the case and I don't know. What am I even saying anymore? I don't know what I am doing and I guess it makes it hard for me to just accept other people still know how to handle me when I don't know how to handle them. I mean I only had Stamatis and Fost for so long, having anyone my age around is weird, and it is even weirder when I am not younger than all of them like I think I should be. And you know I am not in the most healthy state physically so I am scared I will hold you all back. Then there is Torrin and Boreas. I- I know they aren't the same as those who did awful things, but Boreas scares me, and Torrin..." Tinarah stopped talking for a moment and took a deep breath. "I see everyone else likes him, but I had a nightmare last night and I saw him trying to kill Mika... then me. It was shifting between older and younger Torrin and it scares me. I don't know how to trust him and stuff and I am sorry I just started to talk a lot and I don't know why." When Tinarah started to talk she couldn't stop. The fact that Aria actually wanted to be there with her and found comfort in her being there made Tinarah feel a little better. Besides there had been a lot on her mind and Tinarah had been trying to bottle it up to no avail. Perhaps it wasn't what Aria needed, but likely Aria would prefer hearing her in this self than hiding in her shell and she didn't want to hurt Aria, partly because she was terrified of losing Aria again. ​

Tinarah opened her mouth to speak, but Aria was already grabbing her hands out of the sink and started to dry them off for her. Tinarah didn't know what to do or think at all and she didn't really want to be dragged away, however she knew from the weeks spent with Aria before this, that there was no saying no to her. Aria took her wrist and actually started to drag her out of the kitchen without giving her an option. Tinarah tried to pull away at first, she wasn't too fond of being dragged around, but after a moment Tinarah just gave up as the girl was clearly doing everything in her power to not let her walk away, going as far as to balance pancakes on her head to open the door instead of letting go of her hand or passing her the plate.

"I-I can walk myself." Tinarah tried to protest for a moment but just ended up giving up. She glance back inside wondering what other people thought of this bazaar situation. "I am fine, you don't need to drag me around like some sort of broken doll." But that was exactly what she was, wasn't she? She couldn't do anything on her own it seemed and had no energy to try and talk with people anymore. She did what she had to and then often ended up essentially breaking after it all because she wasn't able to keep herself going, she still wasn't healthy enough for that, the fact that she wasn't eating didn't help either. ​

As Tinarah cleaned and talked with Qamar, Aria approached to wash her mug and invite Tinarah to come outside and eat with her. Tinarah looked at the fresh pile of dishes in the sink and just stared at them for a moment. "No thanks. I am not hungry, and I should finish these dishes anyways. I don't want to leave the house a mess for Ms. Mode." It was a pathetic excuse for a lie, but she would only take away from everyone elses joy. She would rather them sit, eat, talk, enjoy themselves. Tinarah was fine with distracting herself with chores, or at least that was what she was telling herself for the time being. She wasn't okay, but she didn't know what to do to make things okay, so instead of trying she thought it was better to not bring everyone else down with her. ​

That was not what she wanted to hear, Karina didn't want to know that she was still in charge of this group. She didn't know how to lead them, and... in the end now that she had her keyblade, she would need to leave them anyways. They had pointed out the issues that it would cause with her being there. Either way it was one step at a time, and Karina gave one last nod to the group before leaving with Shiro and her group to go back to where they belonged. After all they had to do that thing to get back to the realm of light, and they had two members to find, as well as figure out what happened with Yue and Lea. There was a lot on the plate and Karina didn't even know where to start, perhaps they shoudl find out what happened with Lea, Melus, and Luther first.

Turning to Shiro once more Karina spoke up. "When do we have to do that thing you were talking about? Should we look into that happened to Lea first?" She didn't know how they were going to look into that, what they were going to do with it, but Karina didn't want to just leave this place without knowing anything. The least they could do was try. ​

As the group that came to help departed, Aislinn gave them a small wave though she had not really gotten to know any of them. She then turned back to the group just in time to see her player pin glow, and then three boats appeared. Eager, Hikaru ran forward to claim one, but as he did he stopped moving mid run. At first it was written off as a joke, but then it happened again, and again. While others went to inspect what was happening to their friends, Aislinn summoned her keyblade having a bad feeling whatever they were facing wasn't over yet. She scanned the island for signs of who was doing this instead of running towards the boats, but she wasn't able to make much out before she herself found it impossible to move as her entire being was caught in a pocket of halted time.​

Chores and routine, that is what this was. It was the first thing that Stamatis did for her when she came to stay with him. He gave her something to do with herself, something familiar. There was no routine here but at least she could help with the chores, or at least those that Take hadn't already done while she was asleep. She didn't rush through the dishes either. Tinarah didn't know what she would do with herself as soon as she was done with the dishes, so she made sure that they would last for a while, taking her time scrubbing the dishes far more than they needed to.

As she was cleaning dishes, she could sense someone walk up beside her, though she didn't look up. If they wanted to talk, they could talk while she did dishes, and that is exactly what Qamar did as she spoke up. "Fine." Tinarah answered the first question, not really feeling like talking all that much at the moment. She then started talking about the food Take was making and the plate of food that she had left. Tinarah nodded as she turned around and collected all the dishes that Take used to make breakfast for everyone else, but he didn't need anymore. Adding those dishes to the pile and putting her head back down as she continued to clean, Tinarah responded to Qamar. "Yeah I made food already, but I am not really hungry. If you want it, you can have it. I would hate for it to go to waste." Tinarah informed her, almost feeling sick to her stomach instead of hungry. Tinarah didn't actually think she would throw up, just wasn't feeling well in general. ​

Take had offered to cook, but Tinarah looked down at the eggs that she was cooking. She already started breakfast so there was no point in taking him up on his offer. On top of that she hadn't cooked for herself in quite some time. Not since she had been with Stamatis at least. She almost never cooked on her own, but often she would help Stamatis in the kitchen. She missed those times. She missed cooking with him, talking with him, the companionship she had. And more than anything, Tinarah realized that she missed smiling. She missed being able to joke and listen to the banter between Fost and Stamatis, her Fost and Stamatis, not the ones in this world. Not the ones that knew nothing about her. Stamatis had known mostly every part of her life, and now all that was gone.

Tinarah couldn't help but overhear the debate and comments about making the hot chocolate. It sounded like they were all having fun, or at least getting along well, and while a few people greeted her on her way into the kitchen, Tinarah still found herself feeling out side that all. Sure Aria actually stop for at least a moment when she said hi and didn't continue walking past, but in the end she moved on before there was much time to say or do anything. Boreas had greeted her in passing as well, but it was almost better that way with him, since after yesterday Tinarah found herself more afraid of him than she already was. Between the commanding attitude, his points of view, and the break down, Tinarah was finding as little of a reason to trust him as she had in the other realm.

Dishing the food that she made, Tinarah found herself suddenly not hungry, the more she thought about what she missed. Leaving the plate of food on the counter, she turned to the sink to do her dishes instead. It was a sufficient enough distraction anyways. At the very least she was keeping herself busy even if it had been a result of wasting food. Perhaps if she managed to help fix this world she would feel better. Perhaps if she made things better for others it would make it better for her, or perhaps not. It was a desperate hope for anything to make her feel good about herself and perhaps it was useless, pointless, perhaps it wasn't, but she really didn't have anything better to go off of. ​

Waking up in the morning, covered in tears and sweat, Tinarah barely managed to drag herself out of her bed. The events of the previous day left her tired, but she was pretty sure that wasn't what had her in the mood that she was in. It was the dreams. Sure she had nightmares plenty before, and these were no different, but a part of her wanted desperately to leave behind everything that happened in that other realm and learn to get along with some of the others, if for no other reason than to stop her from walling herself off from the others the moment they came near Torrin or Boreas. The dream that was playing itself through her mind that night on repeat made Tinarah still want nothing to do with them.

Stepping into the bathroom, Tinarah found herself spending a lot more time than normal in there, washing her face trying to wake herself up and wash the tear stains from her cheek. She didn't want anyone seeing that she had been crying. She had worried everyone enough. She had relied on their help and pick-me-ups enough at this point that she really didn't want to have to continue to rely on them. She was a big girl now, she was eighteen, she should be able to deal with things herself, but there she was not able to deal with anything herself. Relying on her friends that were now younger than her to make her feel okay about herself. It didn't feel right or okay. She should be there for them, she should at least pretend she had her life together and that those five years had done something more than left her paranoid and confused.

Drying her face and looking at the mirror, she could still see that she was a mere shell of the person that she had been just months before with Stamatis and Fost. The fact that she lost weight was only one of many things that she could see in her own reflection. There was also no light in her eyes, and everything just seemed.... pale, and not the pale from her lacking sun, though there was that too. It was more of a lifeless type of pale. She hated to look at herself and threw the towel that she was using to dry her face at the mirror and walked out, opting to get out of her super suite that she had slept in and into the clothing that was lent to her by one of the council members. Finally after a long moment of hesitation in her room, Tinarah found the courage to push open the door and start down the hall to where voices already gathered. It seemed that most people were up before she was, which was not surprising given how long she had spent getting ready for the day.

Slowly Tinarah walked down the hall and into the main living area. The moment that she set eyes on Torrin however, her eyes immediately dropped to the ground as she felt her heart race. "It was just a dream. Just a dream, nothing more." Tinarah whispered to herself as she forced herself closer to everyone. She didn't want to seem weak and in need of comfort at this time. It was barely first thing in the morning, she could at the very least get through this couldn't she? The rumbling in her stomach had her heading towards the kitchen though. At the very least she could manage to make her own food instead of having someone else offer to make it for her. At the very least she knew how to do take care of herself that way. ​

"I promise." There was a big enough mess to deal with already, they didn't really need another one to handle. She would look after her own, whether or not it was for Luna's sake, though the girl asking didn't hurt either. Luna gave get a hug and Karina didn't really know what to do with it. Awkwardly she placed a hand on Luna's back, patting it lightly before Luna took a step back and Karina relaxed from the tense state she was in when the hug began. Koa then went on to ask if he could have another moment with Luna, Karina nodded and turned her attention to everything else that was happening around her.

Stratos brought up their last goodbye and Karina laughed slightly at it. "You know... I still don't quite know what I am fighting for. I am still figuring that out, but Lea went and gave me all this responsibility, then the old man went and left me on my own. I can't very well drag everyone else down while I am scraping to figure out what to do with my life, can I? But thank you. And now I at least know that I am fighting so that I can come back. For the first time in a long time I feel like I have a home to return to, so I will be sure to keep myself, and everyone else safe, so that I can return when the time comes, with my head held high." From there Aeira and Finlay brought up a little bit of an issue with her going with them. Her keyblade could prove problematic, but she wouldn't think about that now.

"We will deal with that later. I... I can't stay long anyways, but I won't leave until I am sure that everything is under control. If I am just making things worse however, then I will be sure to take my leave, return to where I am needed." She assured them just as Hikaru walked up to give her a hand shake. As he did she felt a cold metal object being placed in her hand. Looking down she saw the recorder that she had thought that she lost when first leaving with Lea. Karina quickly slid it into her pocket, trying not to think about the fact someone else had it, hoping that he had not listened to it. "Thank you." She told him with a half smile, but the recorder made things a little awkward for her. Enough so that she was almost thankful when Shiro jumped up.

This is where Karina took her step back. She wasn't sure what was going to happen with this reapers game thing, but she was a bit more interested in the discussion around Aux and just what happened with him. Karina wasn't exactly comfortable with what he claimed happened, and she still didn't trust him, but it made a little more sense why he was here and not dead. She decided that this wasn't her battle though, and it would be something to deal with at another time, perhaps when she returned and had time to process it all. For now, she was still liable to try and kill him if he said one wrong thing, and she would prefer not to make anyone retract the welcome that they gave her.

As the conversation came to an end, Shiro decided that it was time for them to find a way to the realm of light themselves. She supposed with no other guidance, and Oswald now seemingly missing, it was best to just follow what they thought best. Glancing around one last time at her friends, and making sure that everyone she brought was ready to go, Karina approached Shiro. She glanced at Hughes one last time before she was ready to leave, still trying to figure out how he smiled upon death, but trying to clear her head she looked at the man who defeated him. "So will you be leading us from now on?" She asked almost desperate to not be left in charge, it was a large responsibility that while she had taken on, she still questioned every decision and having a way out would be welcomed.


It was rather sweet watching this team with their friend, welcoming her back. Aislinn listened from a distance, watching three different parties, Aux, Karina, and Ananta. They each had a different role in this and Aislinn felt bad for all of them. She went on to listen to Aux's story and Shiro's decision to it. Stepping up behind Stratos, Aislinn smiled at the boy. "Looks like you are stuck with us now. And I wouldn't worry too much about your past, what happened was a result of doing what you thought was right. There is no reason to be ashamed of us. After that you stumbled, but now you have people with you to pick you back up." Aislinn tried to offer. She knew that her attitude tended to get on his nerves, but she still wanted to make sure he knew that they were all there for him anyways. So if some cheesy words were what it took to get that across, so be it. ​

Thankfully Take had agreed to come up with her, and in the end, he did all the speaking so she didn't have to. It was a mix between the fact she was generally anxious about speaking to people, and that she didn't want to be the one taking the healing when others needed it, but either way she found herself standing with Take while he got healing for the two of them. Of course Thallasa had no issues healing them and was able to make her feel a lot better and looking over at Take, he seemed to be doing better himself. Tinarah was still having issues to do with rest and malnutrition, but with the injuries taken care of, she could at least stand on her own better and not be in nearly as much pain. "Thank you Master Thallasa." Tinarah gave her a bit of a bow as she went to attend to others who needed healing. When she was gone, Tinarah then turned to Take. "Thanks for coming with me..." She didn't want to admit that she was nervous but it was clear in her voice. "I-I should go rest, but if you ever need anything let me know."

Heading off Tinarah found herself the room she stayed in the night before despite it being more tattered now. She curled in bed and sleep took her quickly, but not a restful sleep. With all that had been going on, and without having nearly as heavy of exhaustion as the last night that she had slept, nightmares crept into her dreams. Mostly of Torrin, his threats... Mika's death, even her own. She watched as Torrin tried to stab her again and again, his face switching from old to young, but the dream always shifted before she died. By the time first light awoke her, tears stained her face. ​

Finally they were leaving and there was nothing that Gavin or Zephyr could do to stop Thea from coming along. She followed close by Kyo and Izra, but not close enough to hear them speak. She just preferred to stay near the ones that didn't question her ability to be here. At this point she was already getting a bit annoyed with the boys and how protective they were being over her. That being said she didn't completely understand what was going on with the council and the trouble she was in with them. No one quite let her on to their worries about her magic, but that was okay. She just wanted to help and didn't want people to stop her. If she got that then she was happy.

As they got closer, noises were heard from beyond and Izra stopped them, warning them of what they were to face. Thea summoned her flames to her hand. "Don't worry Kyo, they won't get close enough to hurt me!" Thea informed him rather proudly. She never liked to get too close to the people she was fighting so she was sure that she would be fine. Glancing to Gavin and Zephyr, Thea assumed they were ready as well. She placed herself a little bit behind them, waiting for the creature to approach. While she wanted to fight, Thea was not stupid enough that she thought being close to the enemies were a good idea and she knew in some senses the boys were stronger than she was. They could at the very least take a hit better than her.


Evertte turned to run through the streets when he heard his name and Samuel running up. Turning back he rejoined with the Chief and Samuel as Samuel explained that Renza was okay. Just as they started to speak more villagers showed up. More people were dead and more of the water was contaminated. Biting at his lip, Everette tried to think of what they were to do. They needed to wait for Conrad, but they couldn't waste too much time waiting. There was trouble and it was only getting worse.

"Sam we have to go now. Lets head in the direction of the inn, the moment Conrad walks out that door we are heading towards the river. We can't let them get too far ahead of us. No rest for the wicked it seems. Sorry I know you have been working hard all day." He hated to push Sam more, he needed the rest, but what could he do? They finally had a decent idea of what to do to stop this from happening, and they was going to have to stop it sooner rather than later. Running ahead Everette tried to take lead, not running directly to the inn but rather just near enough that Conrad could see them and follow.​

70 crowns spent on 7 defense bringing defense up to 30, and obtaining paladin.

Forever a jack*ss it seemed, but at the same time she couldn't help but smile at him. Home, this was her home now even though she claimed to have none, she had not realized how horribly wrong she was. The entire time she was with them, Karina tried to push this group away, but now here they stood, supporting her in whatever ways that they could. Here was her family and her home, but she couldn't stay, not yet. Arctus walking up behind her and looking at her keyblade reminded her of that.

"Do you want to see it?" She handed her keyblade over so he could get a better look. Arctus had shown interest in it before and she doubted anyone else would let him get anywhere near theirs. "Each chain in this pouch changes the keyblade to some other form, but this form... while I haven't seen it before, I know that it is mine." Karina explained to him as she turned back to the group for a moment. To her friends who supported her, Kel making it seem like it was nothing at all, even when it meant everything to her. "It is what brought us together in the first place, to this family. And I will have to return to them eventually, and maybe one day you can earn it for yourself and join me, but don't worry I won't be going too far yet." Karina assured Arctus before turning back to the group of friends awaiting to welcome her home.

"I can't come home yet, there is still a lot of loose ends to tie up." Karina started to tell them, playing with her ring a little bit. "Lea is gone... or dead, his keyblade shattered. Yue is gone. Nequa escaped from us again, and two of our own are missing. Lea left me in charge of the groups that he wasn't with, so I suppose this is my mess to clean up. I can't just leave everyone, as capable as they are, to deal with all this on their own. I will come home as soon as I can, I promise. But I made a promise to myself and Lea and I think there is still more growing that needs to be done. Besides, you are keyblade masters, I can't possibly hope to keep up with you all yet. Don't think I have gone soft though, when I see you all again, I promise there will be no more tears and if anyone brings it up their teeth will be shattered." There was a light heartedness to her threat, more of a challenge of keeping her strength and resolve strong more than actually wanting to hurt anyone.

Her eyes passed over everyone then rested on Koa who was standing with his arm around Luna. "I will need all the help I can get. I am sorry Luna but I will keep him safe." She then eyed Aux, the person who kind of started this whole moment. "And I don't know what is going on with you. I know I have wanted you dead for a very long time, but I also know I am not the only one. The fact that you are standing here and not dead says something has changed and I guess it isn't my place to pass judgement, but I expect when I get back for this all to be sorted and there to be a very good explanation." She then stepped closer to Aux. "But know, if I am wrong about all this and you hurt any one of these people, I will hunt you relentlessly and you will pay for it." With that she stepped back and looked to Finlay, Aeira, Koa, Vallus, and Arctus. "Thanks for following me into war but it is time we protect our own." It was time to head back to the realm of darkness and sort out the mess that they left. While Karina wanted to stay here with her friends now, she knew that she couldn't. Lea had tried so hard to help her change and show her the way, he had put trust in her and gave her a responsibility, she wouldn't run from it the first chance she got. After all she had always wanted to join her fathers army when she was a child, and this was what it meant to be a part of an army. She had to follow orders and look after those around her. She wouldn't be able to do that by running, but she couldn't stay there forever either. As soon as it was all sorted she would return to her friends, but no sooner than that. ​

It was nice that he was worrying about her and all and Tinarah smiled back at him as he threatened to shove a potion down her throat, but she still just stood there for a moment, not convinced that she wanted to go. "I just... Qamar and Chrono pretty much used up the last of their magics to get me up, and keep me up earlier. They did their best to heal me, and the fact I kept getting hurt, it is my own fault. I would rather not have someone else run out of magic before they could heal the others that really need it, if that makes any sense. But.... I will go, only if you come with me and get healing too." She gave him a small smile, a compromise. Tinarah believed herself the last person who deserved healing, but if Take was going to insist that she got it, she would insist that he came with her. They both needed it after all. If she could she would have healed him herself, but her magic was still running a bit dry at the moment. Take said he didn't think it was going to be the end of seeing people die, but Tinarah wasn't going to accept it, if Take was going to protect them, he needed his strength, just as she needed hers if she wanted to be of use here. She couldn't keep healing people if she couldn't stay conscious herself after all. ​

Tinarah stared at the statue as Take explained. He then made a comment about being a bit faster and Tinarah shook her head. "I don't think it would have made much of a difference if you were one minute faster or not. The most damage we suffered wasn't from the heartless. And honestly, personally this is the best shape I had been in for a while, one minute wouldn't have made a difference, but another five might have. Be thankful you managed to stop it when you did because if it had taken much longer... I don't think I would be standing here right now." She was barely standing as it was, another beating like she had been taking and she would really not be in a good shape, if she even made it through. "I am just thankful you managed to stop it." She told him trying to be encouraging before he asked about her.

"Well... everything hurts, my stomach is bothering me again, I watched two people die and couldn't stop it from happening, and I made Chrono worry again. All in all not great." She didn't care to share how close to passing out she was, she didn't want her issues to be a priority, she would rather let everyone else get the care they needed first, but it was hard to claim she was fine, when anyone with eyes could see that she was not. She then thought she should clarify, since Take thought if he was faster it would have made a difference. "They died fighting each other, no the heartless. I don't think anyone would have stopped the rage in that boys heart. If that chasm didn't open he would have killed as many of us as he could before falling, and... he would have been able to do it too." Tinarah glanced over at Qamar who was in a bad shape. All it would have taken was one more moment, then Qamar would have fallen and he would have killed her too. No matter how quick Take was, he couldn't stop that. ​
