[h3][color=thistle]Io[/color] At Kazenosuke's House[/h3]

Io was not surprised by how the situation developed, but she was mildly surprised that it was an offer at all. '[color=thistle]It was simply too much to assume that there wouldn't be some kind of fight, of course.[/color]' Io thought to herself.

"[b][color=thistle]Understood.[/color][/b]" Io said to Shizuka. She reached out a cold hand to touch Shizuka's back. "[color=thistle][b]Take this.[/b][/color]" She whispered something under her breath, activating a scroll. It snaked around her arm as if it was alive, wrapping around the swordsman. "[color=thistle][b]It will enhance your dexterity.[/b][/color]" Io mildly wondered if his [i]could[/i] be further enhanced, but this was part of the experimentation process.

She stepped back from Shizuka after bestowing the scroll. "[b][color=thistle]To be honest.[/color][/b]" Io muttered an aside to Yuki, just out of earshot of the others, having heard her previous jest. "[color=thistle][b]Seeing him in combat. He may be enough to handle us both. Unless he seriously turns around in bed compared to the battlefield.[/b][/color]" Io left Yuki to mentally picture such a situation, quickly returning her focus to the fight as it was about to break out.
