Keeping that thought to the confines of her mind, she listens closely as the man introduces himself to her, as well as his companion. [color=slateblue]"Oh, hello there! Um, that's very kind of you, but you see, I don't exactly know where I [i]need[/i] guidance to."[/color] Chuckling softly, she peaks her head past the cute boy to the 'Hero' behind him. He certainly didn't look like much, though appearances weren't everything. She offers a kind smile and gentle wave as he speaks, confirming his 'Hero' title, also offering assistance. [color=slateblue]"Why, you two gentlemen are far too kind! However, you need not worry - I believe I have found ample assistance in these young men. Er... man and wolf-man."[/color] The wolf-man speaks after her, apparently knowing Mister Penguin to some degree, and saying their assistance was ample indeed, but not required. The situation was relatively calm for the most part, penguin-man now taking the stage. [color=c4df9b]"So, you got dumped or something?[/color]" He asks, coughing to himself as he prepares a more formal introduction after a moment of thought. [color=c4df9b]"Ahem, ahem, I almost forgot to introduce myself, my lady, I'm Kurokono, just a wandering Ronin from a backwater village."[/color] [color=slateblue]"I suppose, in a manner of speaking, I was. I just woke up not too long ago."[/color] States the young noblewoman as she studies the definite man before her. [color=slateblue]"A pleasure to meet you, Sir Kurokono. My name is Emile von Pâtre, of the Pâtre house situated here in Lugnica. And, uh, dare I ask what exactly 'Ronin' is...?"[/color] Her voice grew quieter and quieter when she pieced together he and the Hero weren't exactly getting along. According to Kurokono, the Hero and his companion were assassins on a mission to kill her! But that didn't make any sense! She hadn't even done anything! Well, at least anything she could recall, at least... The situation was rapidly escalating, and although Emile wished to speak up, her voice just couldn't quite find the courage. Staring up at the two rather agitated figures, she couldn't help but feel the urge to get away. She wasn't sure what this fight would bring, but she began to feel anxious about the two parties wounding themselves within the city. All this, coupling with the new girl who was saying her life was a lie, was making Emile rather uncomfortable, almost to the point of tearing up again. However, that was when she saw it, rising into the sky in the distance... [hider="Is... i-is that smoke...?"][youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wY4leVIz60[/youtube][/hider] She quizzes, question aimed more-so to herself than to those within her party. Needless to say, as soon as she could confirm it was smoke (and the surrounding populous was apparently apathetic towards said danger), Emile pushes herself past the two standing in the alleyway entrance, sprinting straight in the direction of the smoke as fast as she could. [color=slateblue]"Akra!"[/color] A golden light flashes about her body, as the weight of her entire body is suddenly lifted, almost as though she were gliding through the air now. Stamina effectively maintained and speed quickened, Emile sprints for the slums where the smoke is rising, to survey the scene.
