Amaryllis breathed sharply, before letting Sammy go. A part of it stung, but more than that, it simply made…sense. She watched the super sleuth walk off, disappearing in the mass of other magical girls. Nothing she could do about it now. Just gonna have to be ready when Sammy was.

Standing up, the Knight of Rose ran her hand through her hair, slicking the sticky strands out of her face. Every part of her felt gross now; all the elegance in the world couldn’t keep her spotless when she dove headfirst into that lump of eldritch mass, after all. She offered a smile at the phantom thief first, glad to see his own kindness remain consistent, but it was Rina who she turned her words to. [color=778899]“It’s not my blood,”[/color] Amaryllis replied, somewhat ruefully, [color=778899]“Wonder if I coulda finished it earlier if I didn’t focus on evasion so much though.”[/color]

She hefted her sword up again, inspecting it for chips, fractures that she knew wouldn’t be there.

[color=778899]“Wonder if this could have ended if I let myself go…”[/color]

But hypotheticals meant nothing, not when she lacked the power to travel back in time or anything silly and self-indulgent like that. Amaryllis shook her head, scattering such depressing thoughts away, and this time, she stopped try to fake her smiles. [color=778899]“Yeah, she’s a friend. Sleuth and all that got me here to begin with. Rode on a tiger, but, well…guess he’s gone now.”[/color]

Negative, negative, negative. Switch gears already!

[color=778899]“Say, Rina, where did that girl who was offering us a free meal go? I only see you and Phantom Man here, and he certainly doesn’t have the voice for it. Could really go for McDonalds right now.”[/color]
