There was a small tentative smile on Auburns lips as she looked between the two boys. "My father is great, though I don't know if I am on the path to greatness. I couldn't even keep an eye for that Ursa... I don't know if I am quite cut out for all this. I might have to leave the hero work to my dad." Auburn told them hinting at her nearly leaving not long before. That being said now that they had gotten her to open up a little bit, she was already feeling a little more comfortable and a little more confident. She didn't like starting conversations, or talking much, but she realized that she hated being ignored equally as much. "So... I don't know about this hero work, but I think we are supposed to be meeting with the crazy lady. I am sure Qrow won't mind if we leave now, he has done what my father asked I am sure and now can't care less." Auburn laughed a little bit knowing a bit more about Qrows demeanor from his occasional visits to see her father and just stories that she was told. While she wasn't close with him she felt like she knew him well enough to make that call. Lingering around Arian started to wonder what was taking the other team so long to get back. He thought they were supposed to meet back pretty quickly and here he was waiting around, avoiding Noire while he was at it. While she tried to apologize and Arian tried to move on, it didn't mean that he wanted to deal with her any more than he had to. Looking over he noticed Lloyd giving a talking to to one of their members. Vice had seemed distant so far and while there is a part of Arian who wanted to say that it didn't matter, he also knew that wasn't true and that they would need to work better, he was sure he was guilty of that as well but chose not to think of it as he leaned back against the nearest wall. Flipping a coin his tail swished behind him, keeping himself a little more content than he had been so far. Perhaps it was just the fact that someone besides him was in trouble that made him feel better, he wasn't sure but didn't care much to question it as he waited for the point in which they were allowed to leave.
Pushing Daeni off of him, Cerdic stood up. "Impossible or not, don't be an idiot. I told you to stay back and stay safe. If that thing wants whatever is in your heart you are putting more than yourself in danger by stepping in front of attacks like that. I can handle myself. So for christ sake Daeni, STAY BACK, AND STAY SAFE!" Cerdic tried to beat the idea into the thick skull of hers and he stepped up in front of her again so that she could have a moment to recover as he looked towards the creature made of darkness. It didn't even deserve a name at this point. Readying his keyblade Cerdic knew that staying back he couldn't protect the machine and Daeni, he would have to keep the creature occupied. "This better be worth it. No one do anything stupid and don't try to stop me." Cerdic muttered to himself as he tried to muster all the courage that he could in order to be ready for this. He had always tried to take things carefully never stepping into obvious danger if he could help it, but looking back at his friends he didn't want to see them in danger either, it was the only thing he could do. He was so useless before now, he had to do something useful. Finally Cerdic got himself convinced to do what needed to be done and stepped forward and put himself on the offense, not paying much attention to the world around him as he laid attacks in on the creature to draw it's attention completely to himself.
Listening the the entire story Thea was wide eyed and nervous throughout. Though there was no signs of her power sparking off anywhere, she still seemed nervous and the magic energy that was around her still remained as she clenched at her dress to keep herself in check the best that she could. "That is terrible! Why would they sacrifice children? That isn't fair! Of course we will help. I am not letting them get away with that. I won't let them hurt Maliel's little sister. She was so nice, Maliel helped us when we arrived and I think she was trying to protect me from the mayor. I don't know for sure but she lied about my age and stuff and kept telling me what to do and not to do." Thea stated earnestly as she looked up at them squirming a little bit. Feeling her fires burning under her skin, she really wanted to go and deal with the spider and save Selena as soon as possible, though she knew it wasn't her call. If Zephyr and Gavin said no, there was little that she could do on her own. Turning back to her two companions she looked at them. "We are going to go help now right? We really need to before it is too late. And I have lots of friends in the magic council, they will listen to me I am sure." Friends wasn't the right word for it, and there was no guarantee that they would listen to her. The only reason that they knew her was that they often checked up on her and they had dealt with her after the death of her parents. They were the ones that set up the agreement with Divine Rose and what she was to be doing. While Thea wasn't entirely sure the whole story and agreement, she just knew who the people were and they seemed nice enough, if not a little grumpy so she thought of them as her friends. "Thanks." Everette tried to laugh a little bit, but he was still a little out of it, just not speaking too much on the subject. Instead Everette just sat there waiting for Renza to get back. Since Conrad was finishing dinner and Renza fetching drinks, there was not much that he could have done anyways. It made him feel a bit useless, but that was the least of his worries. He would clean up after dinner and that was fine. For now he could relax and try and clear his mind a little bit, trying his best to relax a little bit. There was a sound and Conrad was the first to get up and see what it was. He heard Conrad practically yell Renza's name and Everette was on his feet as the chair fell back to the ground behind him. Before he could make it to the door Conrad was there with Renza who clearly wasn't in a good shape. She was fine just minutes ago and they knew that the water she was getting was fine. He made sure that she got the right water and everything. Perhaps he should have gone with her. There was no time for regret though as Everette got up and looked at the girl. "Make sure she is going to be okay. I am going to investigate. I took samples of several of those rain waters, they should have been fine. She should have been fine to get them!" Everette was a little annoyed as he turned and looked towards the door. "I will be back soon." Everette told both the boys as he ran outside and started to head towards the water store for the rain water. He made it about a block before he realized that he wasn't quite sure how to get to the water store house, so instead he just kind of ran around town, guessing the general direction, keeping his eyes peeled for anyone who might be out at this time. As far as Everette could tell there wouldn't be many people walking around at this time and he was sure the water Renza had gotten was fine just hours before.
Well at least they stopped trying to decide a leader and just moved on. However as they started to head forward, it seemed that Tinarah was falling to the background once more. This time she had not actually tried to fall to the back, but looking around there wasn't that many people here that she was comfortable talking to. Aria went with the other group, and Take was pulling aside Chrono to talk to him privately. Meanwhile Tinarah still didn't find herself all that comfortable with Boreas. He seemed a little harsh in her opinion. Even when Tinarah tried to explain her reservations about him and Torrin, he believed that it should be just so easy to just let go and be okay with them. To her Boreas almost seemed offended that it wasn't simply that easy to just move off of it and that made Tinarah not so comfortable with him. Then there was Qamar. They were getting a little better from the first meeting, but the first incident still played in her mind, making Tinarah not bother making any move towards interacting with her. Glyde was someone that she didn't understand and he was quiet himself so she didn't really know how to deal with that. As they walked on suddenly there was a bit of an issue as creatures showed up in front of her. At leas there was something that she could do now, and made use of her training for once. Perhaps she could not deal with things fully on her own yet, but she could just put training to use and make the bad useful. After all the training with Torrin had to be good for something after all. When the battle started, though Tinarah was not the first to jump in, she didn't hold back at all. Summoning her keyblade to her, she took a few deep breaths, centering herself like Master Stamatis taught her, before she jumped into a series of moves that Torrin had taught her. Of course what Torrin taught her was meant to be used with a sword, but there was no reason that it couldn't apply here. While she was cautious of those around her, their battles meant nothing to her as she focused mostly on her own battles and not on what the others were doing. In the end it turned to be effective as she glanced around at the ruined robots around her, just admiring how much she had grown. Her chest heaved up and down with heavy breaths but it seemed despite the fact she was still recovering from a rather rough shape that she was in, she could manage to fight still and that was very encouraging to Tinarah.
