Marith barely heard what the dragon girl had said because of Faye messing withe her ears. As Marith's ears were being rubbed her knees were becoming weak, she was in bliss, but it didn't distract her from the news of the rating game. "I-I'm going t-to stay by your s-side m'lady!" She said in a slightly squeaky voice as she tried to stand straight but ultimately failing at it. 'That's why she smelled so familiar there's a dragon with her' Marith thought when she started to calm down enough. While Marith was pondering on the rating game she felt sensed something behind her but it was too late as Rika had somehow gotten behind her in an instant and started tickling her sides.

At this point it was too much for Marith to keep her composier, and she broke down laughing on the floor. "I'm s-sorry, I'm sorry just stop!" She yelled in a strong English accent while she was on the floor. At some point in the onslaught Marith had transformed back into her hound form but was about 7 and a half feet tall. The giant wolf was lying there splayed out on her back and wagging her tail. After a few minutes of this Marith got up off the ground and turned the tables on Rika by pushing her over and laying her head and front legs on her in an attempt to pin Rika.
