This looked like it was going to be fun already! Shion's reaction was that of rather ill contempt, like a wounded animal or something poetic like that, while Kenji hardly reacted at all save for a slight change of expression which reaction enough for a guy like him.

"Oh, you're so high-strung. It wouldn't kill you to lighten up a bit, would it, Shi-chan?" Aiko lightly patted Shion's shoulder. The other girl didn't seem to be in a particularly swell mood, but Aiko didn't mind. This was a perfect opportunity for some sparks to fly, after all. Aiko turned to Kenji, curious as to his next move, and raised an eyebrow when he offered to treat them to a snack at a cafe.

[i]Nice save, though that would probably cost you,[/i] Aiko mentally laughed to herself, eying Kenji as he fished out his wallet. Now that she thought about it, maybe she was actually quite hungry. How convenient! A free meal along with maybe a bit of drama if not comedy. "Haha, great! In that case, I'll take you up on your offer, Kenji-kun," she chirped and followed him as he headed for the cafe. Aiko looked over her shoulder at Shion as she went, beckoning her with a wave of the hand. "Come on, Shi-chan, maybe a little coffee would clear that clouded mind of yours, hmm?" [i]And even if it doesn't, at least it'd give a little color to this party of ours.[/i]

Oh, look at that, Crisis finally got that statue face of Breaker's to move a little! [i]Let's see how far we can push you, Mister Stone-cold.[/i] 

Crisis Sonata opened her mouth to further taunt him with maybe other synonyms for "cute," but closed it again when she spotted in the distance the same thing Breaker just had. What do you know? It [i]was[/i] Riot Lily, fighting all alone against a whole [i]hoard[/i] of negatives. In fairness, she looked like she was doing perfectly fine, but it [i]was[/i] awfully lonely to fight without any allies by your side, right? Right? Crisis could already see where this was going, and she felt excitement bubbling inside her at the possible scenarios that flashed in her mind.

To her surprise, it was Fantasy Sky Breaker who acted first, despite just noting a few seconds ago that he didn't want himself involved with Riot Lily. This was great! Now Crisis hardly had to do anything to bring this action-packed scene into fruition. Breaker was heading off to help all of his own accord! "Wow, would you look at that, you have a heart after all!" Crisis giggled, and with an upwards swipe of both hands, summoned her spears, which now hovered in the air around her. She took a few steps forward, placing the Negatives within her range but herself out of most of their range. "And of course I'll help, so don't worry about such little things, okay, sweetie?" Crisis' laughs reached a crescendo, and she gracefully swiped her arm in the air, sending her spears after the monsters nearest to her.
