Monica was slightly grinning at the sight of the girl playing a male. It was quite humorous to see another improvised sort of role, but anything to buy them some needed preparation time. She however saw Garnet watching from the side, who seemed to have a smile of amusement. Garnet however some what leaned more on the wall, sure it wasn't the most proper of posture, but there was nothing for her to do in her situation. Never the less, these people were a work of art to her in terms of stage. But what really got her grinning was how fast they could deliver their lines, yet act less stoic.

As Monica looked about the stage as she danced around with Dren, she could see Garnet was watching from the corner.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" She thought mentally, her gray eyes somewhat flickering. "Hope you're enjoying yourself." She spoke in a rather sincere tone to the man, though worry passed through her voice.

The "Princess" bowed her head before extending her hand out to the Demi Human known as Karnrad. She simply smiled before mouthing "You're so late." She composed herself slowly.

"To act of anything less is an insult to my freedom. Yay I say to thou's proposal." The "Princess" said, her voice somewhat wavering. It was clear there was fatigue in the voice of hers, though the audience was rather bubbly over most of what had gone on.

____________________________________________________________________________

"Where is Garnet? She should have been back by now..." Brahne was slightly flapping her fan with her right hand. She looked a bit clammier than usual. There was an amused expression, but mixed worry in her eyes. Beatrix could not help but feel there was something going to happen for the worst.

The two jesters walked into her view, flailing their arms.
"She is gone!"
"Gone She is!"

Brahne looked at the stage before slamming her hands down on her seat, she knew what was going on... But it did not displease her any less.

"Beatrix, set the harpoons onto the ship, it is not to leave here in one piece. And search the ship. We cannot allow it to leave. Am I clear?" Brahne turned her gaze to Beatrix. Her expression was stoic, her eyes expressed a fury only a ruler could have; a leader who has to deal with the failings of her people.

Beatrix raised her arm out, where other Soldiers saw it as a signal. Soon, there was a mechanical Rhythm heard around the stage from above... And it wasn't the propellers.

Beatrix pushed her hand forward as what looked like cannon's with harpoons shot down into the ship. Most of the people on stage were staggered due to the force of the impact, and there was a noticeable panic upon the audience.

"Seize them!" A male voice called out before trying to jump ship.
The crew was retreating inside where Monica stood up, throwing marbles down at the incoming Knight Soldiers. Some of which completely tripped onto their back.

"Riiiight. I'd say things are about to get dicey..." She ran closer to the set where Garnet was. She however was on Dren, it was however unintentional.

"You should be inside little Lass." Monica scolded a bit, where Garnet simply sighed. She did go through the stage door.
Monica took a breathe.

"RANDY! GET US OUT OF HERE!" Monica's voice was more or less heard through the floor boards. There was scrambling below as propellers were starting to move about.

But upon checking the stage, the knights were getting up, and what was worse what was coming out of a cannon that was under Brahne. There was a spiked metallic Capsule, what was inside upon it's crash into the stage was more than too happy.

"A Bomb!? WHAT!?" Monic stammered back slightly.
She had to keep the knights from entering the doors... But this... large ball of flame that looked somewhat flesh and rock like... had rather large eyes, and teeth... Yeah... She was perfectly not scared...

Randy had been wandering about and checking that the systems were doing okay and all that as his job was. He was mostly day dreaming about how the play was going by this point, which it seemed he had received a bit of the answer to. It seemed like they hated the play so much that cannons were being fired at the ship or something of the like. Must have turned into a gosh awful performance up there for all of this mess that was currently going on. Probably better than he himself would have been able to get away with though.

He stood still for a moment and kept his stability as harpoons had breached through some of the ship. “god awful..” he muttered to himself aloud. Growing wide eyed at the harpoons sticking into the ship. A voice was shouted from above, asking for help in a very panicky demanding manner. Seems like it was him, to the rescue! No, time for day dreaming though. He immediately got to work and attempted to get the harpoons out of the ship, best he could. Using the large wrench of his to try and slide under the harpoon points and wedge them back out with a mixture of a good amount of force and sliding with the movement. Felt more like a dance move, one done in more of a rush to try and get the things out of ship quickly. The left side of his overalls would need fixing later or fiddling with, again, seeing as it was starting to lean away from Randy.

The propellers, and thus the engines for them seemed to be getting started and likely having not been pierced yet or at least, too damaged. The captain driving it was probably fine as well them, or assuming so. Besides the whole, ship being tied down by sharp metal hooks thing. Surely, other engineers or others would be working upon moving the harpoons out. Hopefully wouldn’t take all too long to skedaddle out of the area and avoid the blokes that fired at the ship, whoever they were.

Dren was lost amidst the performance for a while as he seemed to enjoy himself. Then all hell broke loose.

"MOTHER OF MERCY!" He cried in surprise, struggling to keep his balance as he saw knights approaching, harpoons above and the woman he'd been dancing with. Glancing quickly between them and recalling her sudden appearance, Dren put the pieces together. And he certainly wasn't risking himself for the little tart, not today. Even with his connections and lordly appearance, soldiers tended not to care in these sorts of situations. He had to act fast if he was to flee and make himself scarce. Spying the bomb on the stage, he got an idea.

With cane in hand he sped toward it and struck into the stage at an angle, chanelling a burst of energy through the cane, enough to free the bomb from its small crater and flick it toward the soldiers. With the distraction set, he promptly exited stage right, the closest door he could find.

Hitori saw the Bomb Entity come at the and his Eyes Widened, That was the Boom that was forewarned, oh shit! He had to do something. He Withdrew a Steel Ribbon and commanded it to slice through the Ropes of the Harpoons to get that shit out of the way as fast as possible. He wasn't about to leave Monica, he didn't know her but He felt like he was already in stew so he might as well see where this goes. He Made his Way toward her. "Need any help?" Hitori asked as He Dropped the Glamour he wore, No longer a Pale Maiden but a Wild Kumiho once again.

Giving a slight grin as she saw the Princess mouth some words, the blonde winked with her right eye. 'Sorry.' she mouthed in return, feline ears twitching from under her makeshift bandana as the raven haired girl played along. Seemed the birthday girl was a bit worn out, but at least the audience didn't seem to mind it. Too focused on what was happening instead of acting skills.

"Joyous day my princess! Then allow this simple man to claim thou precious lips!" Karn said happily, giving a sly grin as her gloved hands cupped the Princess's face. Leaning closer before furry ears perked at the sound of cannon fire. Swiftly moving her arms around the mission objective as the ship was harpooned. Causing the entire ship to rumble and make most of the crew stagger. Keeping her balance, the feline gave a sigh and shook her head, removing her scarf from her head and to wrap it around her neck. Uncurling her furry tail from her waist, letting her demihuman features show now that it seemed their cover was blown.

"Well... guess our plans got a bit speared through." Karn mused before looking at the woman designated to retrieve the Princess came over and scolded the tired birthday girl. "Eh lighten up Sugar, it's probably her first time with something like this. Who doesn't like starting out a adventure with a big bang?" The feline said with a soft amused chuckle, emerald gaze watching as a bomb was apparently fired onto the Prima Vista's stage. Peachy. Despite the definitely dangerous situation, Karn remained pretty calm as she watched the fancy tall man cry out in surprise before speeding over to the bomb and sending it toward the guards, then promptly bolting inside. While the pale woman started slicing up the harpoon ropes and making sure the fellow kidnapper was alright, after changing into a Silver Fox.. Ha.. Ha... no time for jokes right now. Nah.

Looking toward the bomb and soldiers, the blonde shrugged a little arms a bit upward as if already tired of this. "Hey, guys. Ya know your now kinda stuck up here... with a bomb monster. Ya know, the things that get bigger and bigger... then boom you into a fiery death? It's kinda painful, especially if you don't die instantly. But hey, totally admire your dedication boys. Good job."[/color] Karn said in a bit sarcastic tone to the soldiers before getting into a stance, holding her hands up fairly close to her body, standing on her tip toes and constantly moving.

"Hey you two, get inside quick, that thing's going to blow pretty soon and we regrettably don't have enough time to kill it before that. So go grab onto something. We're going to have a explosive turn of events." Karn said as she pondered if she would have to charge in a attempt to knock the bomb further away. But she doubted she would make much difference with the limited time they had. A part of her wanted to go and get the soldiers, but same problem. So hopefully her words would at least make them run for it instead of dumbly trying to fight. Still, priority was to protect the Princess.

There was a clear choice for them... They could all either run inside and keep it outside of the ship, or they could fight to minimize the damage. Either way, there was a tough path ahead of them as the ship was rising from the ground. The Soldiers were now a finite supply on the ship, of course several jumped ship, nervous of what they were up against... Oh the poor Knights of Pluto.

At any rate, the ship was more stable with the harpoons broken off and out of the ship. Too bad there was no salvageable scrap metal...
The princess at any rate, stayed inside the ship, walking as far from the doors as she could. It was true she wasn't one for violence, in fact she did not want to fight if she did not have to; which was the appropriate mindset to have at the current time. At the very least, she was prepared for the worst. Part of her wanted to Punch the life out of Karn... In fact, really hard. How dare she touch her face in such a way... She felt disgust churn in her stomach...

The lower decks were more stable, as were the work rooms with all the hooks gone, so there was nothing that was too critical that could not be plugged with plywood. Simple fixes really.

Monica looked up at Hitori with a nod, though there was a lack of confidence in her gestures...It did not help that Karn was eager to retreat... Yet doing nothing to try to stop it felt even more wrong... This would perhaps be her first real battle, and she was royally unprepared. There were however three Knights in front of the Fiery Bomb, who now looked more angry thanks to Dren's antics. His spiky teeth seeming sharper, glowing as it seemed to increase in mass. The Knights however were somewhat pushed aside, with this opportunity Monica flung marbles across the stage as a means of tripping the already staggered Knights.

"OHMYGOD! WAYOUTOFLINE!" Said the rather husky female knight.
"Geese. Lass is quite an iron lung, ey Foxy?"
"OHMYGOD! ICANNOTBELIEVEYOUJUSTSAIDTHAT! TOTALSLAGTHATGIRLIS!" The Knight went on with a rather sarky voice and tone that would be the death of drinking glasses and windows, to possibly the concept as sound as they knew it.

"Lass is about to lose her tongue if she does not learn to be silent." Monica gritted. Even the bomb just looked at the Knight in annoyance, it's tine hands somewhat pressing itself on it's sides, as if it too was wondering what the Knight's deal was.

At this point, the Knight removed her helmet, revealing a rather fat face, her hair was in a bun like ponytail, it wasn't braided like the standard Alexandrian Soldier in their leotards. But by her gaudy posture, and grunting face, it was like she thought her attitude was enough to control the situation.

The Bomb seemed to growl at her.
"AREYOUGIVINGMELIP!?"
"Grrrrr!"
"WHAT!? THISISMYFAULTORSOMFIN!?" Her eyes opened rather wide, tilting her head forward as she was challenge by a monster.
The Bomb nodded at her, eyes closed.
"YEAHBUT!NOBUT!YEAHBUT!NOBUT?SOMETHINGORNOTHING!WELLIDIDN'TWELLANDDONEITIFTHEPRINCESSDIDN'TRUNOFFLIKETHELITTLEBETCHSHEIS!NOTTOMENTIONTHATIMIMIGHTHAVEBROKESOMEOFHERPOTTERY!ASAJOKE!" She took a rather adamant tone,trying to find excuses for her incompetence as a Knight. A Soldier of Alexandria. The Bomb simply slammed into her before falling to the grass below.

"OHMYGODICANNOTBELIEVEYOUJUSTDIDTHAT!"
The bomb shook itself as if it were a head; in any case it was.
The other knights simply just jumped down; the bomb was intimidating even them. Now the ship was high enough in the sky to where if anyone else jumped off, it would be fatal.

The Bomb turned to Monica and smiled.
"For a Bomb trying to destroy the ship, you did a good job getting rid of the loud lass. Being around her is a fate worse than death."
The Bomb nodded rather quickly.

"Where were we?" Monica blinked.
"GRRR!" The Bomb got just a bit bigger.
"Oh yeah... Right... Fighting... and stuff." Monica sighed before standing closer to Hitori.

Dren had made it outside, free from the fray and any further combat. He didn't know what was going on and he didn't want to be a part of it. All he wanted now was to abscond from this ship and make tracks, hoping none of those soldiers recognized him or his entire reputation could be ruined.

But on arriving to the side of the ship, he realized they'd taken off again... amidst all the chaos and dancing he must not have noticed. Too far to use his short range teleport spells either... there was no way down from here without landing the ship. And he couldn't do that on his own...

Well, considering there was fighting going on, the best course of action for now seemed to be to hide. So that's what he did, making his way along the side of the ship quietly and seeking a little solitude until this all blew over.

Randy let out a small sigh of relief as the situation had seemed to get better for the moment. The harpoons were gone, and it seems like the ship was fairly high up from the glimpses of view in the holes that remained. It seemed something or someone had gone overboard quite fast. There was only an unclear glimpse of something or someone having gone overboard just a moment or two ago. He did not know much else of what was going happening at the upper decks at this point but, he did not want to find out yet. At least until these were patched up or some other person had taken up the job instead. Running into a fighting encounter, was not to be desired at the moment and not in his job description as far as he knew.

He went off down the hall of the ship in order to find one of the supply rooms. Ought to be nails, a hammer (although the wrench might be useful for the same effect if not more difficult with precision), and something to board up the holes in the wall with, would be a cheap and somewhat unappealing fix but it would work for the time being if the materials were found and hopefully someone else to help with it to patch up the spots and get the work done sooner.

Randy went onward, and somewhat tried to listen for other sounds or perhaps a faint voice from above. What he heard, or thought he heard was some loud and incoherent garble or some odd sound that could not be made out. Perhaps someone was rehearsing their lines, or gone mad (probably himself in that case) or both. He snickered somewhat.

Karn stared absently at the scene played out before here, raising her left eyebrow ever so slightly as if mildly dumbfounded at the Knight rambled so incoherently and loudly that even the bomb was annoyed at her. That took talent. Still, luckily it seemed all the guards had promptly left so she didn't have to worry about their utter fiery demise. However they still had to deal with the bomb, which either way was probably not going to end well.

"Awe. I want to keep it. It's so cute." She mused with a exasperated sigh as she gave a slight shrug. Made her ponder if Bombs were even tameable without blowing up? Probably not. Going book was their whole thing after all. "Now Bomber, yah know this is sort of a lose lose for you right? Get beat up by us and die, or kill us by exploding and die. Quite a sad thing eh? Oh well. Noble sacrifice. I shall remember thee well, Bomber the First." The blonde sad before resuming her fighting stance. Usually with dealing with something like a bomb, she preferred using her whip, but her martial arts did more damage. And right now, time wasn't exactly on their side.

Sure, she could get blown to pieces, but she didn't hesitate as she dashed foreword with impressive speed. Taking a brief moment to look like to make a jab between the bomb's eyes before jumping over. Flipping in the air and making rapid punches toward the top of it then landing behind it. Landing on her left foot before aiming the toe of her right foot towards the back as she spun for momentum.

Hitori couldn't take much more of this panic going on around him and fixated solely on drowning out any noise, Letting his Gemstone see all facets of the bomb. He saw it's internal make up and every bit of it's exterior as well as the strange essence that made its psuedo Spirit. In that moment he saw the flaw in the Bomb that would work as a weak spot.

"Aim for it's Underbelly, that's where it's most vulnerable!" Hitori called out to Monica as he used a bit of Nature magic to craft a small green sphere filled with several hard seeds. With a burst of energy he shot several of the seeds like bullets into the bomb, upon impact the seeds would burst open and form a creeping vine to envelop and trap the Bomb. Hopefully providing enough of a distraction for the time being while siphoning some of its energy. This energy filtered back into Hitori, Karn, and Monica steadily invigorating them as the fight went on.

The Bomb flinched at the punch before charging at Karn for a full body slam, it missed however seeing as she got behind it. Part of the shell was crack, it slightly expanding before turning to her, trying to slam into Karn once again. If it landed, it would knock her down onto her back.
Monica watched as the Vines wrapped around the fiery being, and to no one's surprise, the fire just burned right through it.
But rather than stand there helplessly, she leaped forward, right leg raised high as she brought it down onto the bomb. It of course landed; the axe kick was quite effective as the bomb was spiked down; it's shell compromised.

Monica somewhat staggered back by the other two. "Ehhehhhuuh!"
It was clear she did not want to be near the elemental.

Randy continued on about the ship. Everything seeming to go back to normal for the most part as far as he could tell. No one had shot at them again, yet. Although it seems he was having a bit of trouble locating the supply closets which was of course not the best thing at the moment. The ship needed some patching up in case a ‘water landing’ was needed to be made at some point or another.

It also occurred to him to some degree or another. He, did not quite have a current grasp of where they were headed off to or what direction they were going in. It would probably be best to warn the Captain that the ship should not be landed in water until the repairs were finished especially seeing as he didn’t quite know where they were headed off to. Perhaps having simply forgot during some of the early day dreaming at some point or another.

Instead of going for the supply closets as originally intended he immediately dashes off toward the bridge to warn the captain. One can never know, besides, that part was likely in his job description. He probably would not be able to get away with dawdling around afterward though he rarely did when there was actual work to be done. He somewhat hoped he didn’t sound like a fool stating about the holes in the ship as it might come off as obvious but still.

Karn watched the vines the fox created burn away, while feeling some energy being provided to her. Watching as the bomb tried to body ram her, she willingly fell backwards as it charged. Ducking out of the way as she caught the ground with her hands before her back slammed against the ground. Swiftly swinging her right foot up to land a powerful kick to the bomb's underbelly before rolling backwards with the kick to roll back to her feet and quickly get up again. Her movements never stopping as she swiftly got a bit safer distance as Monica landed a kick on the bomb before quickly trying to get away from the monster that currently had a quite badly cracked shell. The blonde just flashed the other female a amused smirk and slightly shrugged her shoulders, but her hands never left their fighting stance.

"Awe what's wrong Sugar? Don't want to give the blast of the party a thankful hug?" She said in minor amusement before resuming looking at the bomb and charged foreword again to throw several quick punches at it.

Clearly this was going nowhere fast, Hitori reached deep into himself and called forth Siren. His Body became enveloped by the image of the Deep Sea Horror of a Woman as his Tails acted as Watery Tentacles. With a Leap and a Lash of his Tails he whacked the Ever loving fuck out of the bomb with a Water-infused strike. Listening as the Sound of Flames being extinguished Sizzled on the body of the Bomb. As he Landed he let Loose a Shriek that projected from Siren, wracking the Bombs body with Damage.

The Bomb sizzled as it fell dead... though it was temporarily slowed down.. it was bound to go off.
"Righht... That takes care of that..." Monica walked over to the bomb, peeling parts of it off as well as it's shell, surely it could be used for something later. "Alright... Everyone get inside. Now." Monica's voice practically elevated to a crack; yet the intent was still carried. She did try to push the bomb... Unfortunately the worst is yet to come... The mass was too large to push... and was too heavy at that. Taking it apart past the armor was suicide. Monica seemed to Blink. She did however ignore the Demi human's comments. To her, living, was living.

"Right... find a hiding place... inside..." Monica squirmed; scurrying to the door.
It was as if she saw something she did not wish to see, but had to see.

Meanwhile, the Princess was near Baku; the Captain of the ship.
She turned as well as the pinkish man to the red Squirrel.
"What do you want!?" There was visual sweat coming off the male; his triangular nose seemed more agitated. Garnet however wore her white robes, holding the sides... Perhaps this was a suicide run...

Randy looked to the captain and to the princess for a moment or so. He was briefly surprised by the scene but quickly shook it off. The Cap’ seemed to be having quite a bit of trouble and frustration as it was already. Randy did his best to be clear and short with his next words.

“Beware and avoid water landings for a while until repairs are done. That is all.” His voice came off as clear and confident. As if he actually had time to rehearse this line. He felt as if he had erred at some point but this did not show through but bounced around in his skull. Along with the feeling to immediately leave and get out of there, which was soon acted upon.

He began immediately marching away, feeling stiff as he did so and went in search of supply closets. The wrench he carried was now being propped up against his left shoulder and held underneath with his left hand as he tried heading elsewhere. In search of materials to board up the holes in the ship. Seeming to walk away like a wind-up toy.

Karn watched as the bomb fell dead and she stood straighter and out of her fighting stance. Placing her hands together in front of her and giving a ever so slight bow before dropping the respective gesture as she placed her hands behind her head casually. Watching as the woman teammate went over to the bomb and peeled at the armor to gather the bomb fragments. It was always mildly Grimm idea to loot sometimes. Imagine if cutting off a Burmecian's tail for some weird potion, or maybe a Qu's tongue. Or shaving off human skin.

Ick.

At the order to get inside, the blonde just gave a hum as she stretched out her body, like a cat ready for a nap. "Really? And here I thought we'd sit out here enjoying the fireworks, the screams, and sit around the bombfire and roast some marshmellows." She said sarcastically with a shrug, watching the other woman skitter inside.

"Also, kinda hard to hide from impeding explosion and most likely a airship crash. So if it's alright with you, I'll take some cover instead." The Demi-Human mused before following inside. Still, she started off toward, quickly grabbing a large shield from the wall and holding it above her head for some sort of protection. Better to use it for upcoming exploding debris and possible falling debris above her head. Still she headed to the helm where the boss was. Gotta make sure he was somewhat decent. And prepared.

"Hey Boss, hope you're ready for a explosive exit." Karn chirped, emerald gaze slightly turning to the princess. Oh. Well there she was. Two birds in one stone. Still, objective is probably not to let her die. Hopefully, things don't turn out too bad. Hah.

Siren was still Manifested around Hitori and just as confused and riled up as he was. He turned to Monica and finally asked "How in the hell do you know the Bomb is about to explode? What indication is there at all? We slayed it and there should be absolutely no Spirit left inside the thing to trigger the detonation! Also if you want the thing Gone then Here!"

With an Expertly placed Shot from Sirens Watery Tentacles Hitori was able to Knock the Remains of the Big Splody thing off of the Entrance of the Tantalus and sent the thing Careening into the Ground. As it fell the Sounds of People Screaming and panicking could be heard as they frantically tried to escape the possibility of a Violent and Fiery Death. In that moment Hitori could have given a shit about the People and just wanted to get the fuck out of there before the Big BOOM Ada foretold had the chance of happening.

He stretched his long limbs out and called Siren back into himself before looking at Karn and Monica both with Harsh and Wild Eyes full of a barely contained Fury. "Here's your Chance to get the Fuck out of here! I suggest you take this opportunity."

Monica blinked at the enraged Kumiho and shook her head frantically.
"Preventing one disaster only ignites another..." She seemed to brake her tone that she had; as if a different person was before him entirely. She shuttered at the cries from below... She did not even make eye contact before heading inside.

"Bomb.. is disposed of... at the cost of lives below..." She shook her head in horror at Karn as she made her way to the bridge. It was clear she seemed to have been ate up about it. "I umm... need a moment..."

Just than, the Captain turned to Monica.
"I don't remember you being part of my crew." Baku seemed more upset about this figure than he was about people being killed due to the Kumiho's intervention. He turned his gaze closer.

"Give me a name girl."
"Monica Rey."
"Hah. Quite a nice stage name." He shook his head.
"She... is the one who brought me to safety." The Princess walked over to Monica.

"A spy brought you to me? It's one thing we have Lindblum officials in the engine rooms keeping this thing afloat. But what I do not tolerate is liars. You know what I do to Liars? Tell'em Karn." Baku seemed... even more agitated as he went on, sure there was a smirk on his face, but it was not one of pleasure.

"Look. I don't care. She is here safely, so shut up." Monica crossed her arms.
"The gull..."
"No, no. You steer this ship. You're paid to bring her back to Lindblum. What does it matter who I am if I ensure success?" Monica seemed to give him the hand, however Baku broke into laughter.

"True as the truth is. I don't know you like I do my crew." Baku chuckled.
"Search her Karn." Monica's eyes quickly shifted to the Demi- Human.

Karn glanced at the furious fox with a calm but slightly annoyed expression as he spoke. "One, that bomb is the Queen's bombs and usually they are rigged to explode even if they die. So ya know, they kill the target either way and to make it so it does some more damage in case the enemy lines are strong. Otherwise they'd just use regular cannons. Having a bomb that will explode, and be able to bite your face off while waiting on the timer is a nice tactic. Two, we are on a ship not exactly a lot place to run to. Three, what do you think we have been doing? Just sitting around floating above the city and patiently waiting for the fight to end? Pretty sure everyone else has been working their ass off to get the fuck out of here. Someone's gotta be trying to fly us out of here otherwise we'd probably have crashed by now. To avoid blowing up, getting harpooned, getting caught and executed, etcetera etcetera. If you want to go faster, not stopping ya from going down there and having roasted liver that you so happily created. Now be a good puppy and take a chill tonic or you might cough up a hair ball." she said curtly before continuing on toward the helm and leaving the fox to his own devices. She definitely didn't condone the stunt the Kumiho pulled in basically leaving a bunch of innocent civilians to a fiery death, but she didn't have time to argue with a temperamental fox brain.

Setting the shield down, her emerald eyes flickered between the Boss and the woman known as Monica. Watching with mild interest before Baku spoke directly to the Demi-Human.

"A sound Bossing around. A good beating and if he likes you walk the plank over the ocean." Karn replied with a slight amused smirk before glancing at Monica at her words. "Well that usually depends on the reason. Helping us succeed could further your own. Who knows? Perhaps you want the fair Princess all to yourself and we were a convenient getaway. But who knows but you right?" she hummed before glancing to the Boss at the order to search the woman and shrugged a bit.

"Fine Fine. Don't mind if I do. So kind to let me have a excuse to touch lovely ladies." The Demi-Human smirked before approaching Monica until their faces were mere inches apart, kneeling briefly to smoothly run her gloved hands along the woman's legs, hips, backside, waist.. she wasn't exactly putting it past for any possible hiding spot. Yet it was still a quick pat down and her hands didn't exactly linger. Standing fully again as the Demi-Human was feeling the ribcage, her nose twitched a bit. Sniffing a bit as her emerald gaze stared at Monica with a calculating look.

"You smell weird. Do you use some sort of uncommon shampoo?" Karn questioned bluntly, seeming to forget or not care that telling a girl she smells weird can probably be offensive. Still it made her curious. She couldn't quite put her finger on it. But the change of smell could be a number a reasons. Strange shampoo, perfume, cologne.... other things. Though Perfume and Cologne had a much more obvious smell. Either way, her hands slipped along the arms then head before mildly patting her hands against Monica's cheeks like a adult would do to a child as if to confirm she was done, then took a step back.
