Io took her time tending to wounded as well as she could. Io's growing hunger (or perhaps thirst) for magical energy was becoming more pronounced, especially after the various magic she expended during the battle, but she shoved it aside to aid the survivors of the battle. Of course, she also took note of those who did not survive. Io would have considered this battlefield quite a promising area had the situation surrounding it and her stay at Shizuyama been different. She was on her best behavior, of course, and idle experimentation with such a large amount of corpses would not look good to anyone.

When she had done all that she could, she would join the impromptu strategic meeting that formed amidst the leaders and task force members. "[color=thistle][b]I can help with any of these. Though perhaps the raid would be the best for me.[/b][/color]" Io would rather be in a situation to attack than rescue, all things considered. She would leave the rescue operation to those with a more suited skill set.

Io's brow furrowed at the discussion of anti-magic. To the others, it may have been the most emotion she had displayed since she came to Shizuyama. "[b][color=thistle]To think they would use such things.[/color][/b]" The concept of sending them back as projectiles amused Io - a barbaric solution to a barbaric problem. "[b][color=thistle]I wonder how they achieve nullification.[/color][/b]" There were many avenues to do so, though to a layman the end result would seem the same. She would have wanted to study one of their obelisks, except...

There was a fundamentally troubling issue with anti-magic, in that Io was in no small part suffused with magic from head to toe. '[color=thistle]I may need to inform the Task Force...[/color]' She thought to herself. Though it pained Io to reveal a weakness of hers, as well as pained what twisted sense of pride she had, it was true. '[color=thistle]...I may need to be physically carried if I am put too far into an anti-magic field...[/color]' While it was unlikely that she would be destroyed outright from anti-magic (she had studied extensive contingencies for this), it was very possible that she would not be able to move if put under a strong anti-magic field. 

Io would have to find the right time. Not in front of so many people that didn't need to know. And ideally, she would pick someone reliable, level-headed, and unlikely to reveal the secret unless it was absolutely necessary. 

'[color=thistle]Ah.[/color]' A bead of sweat (or perhaps just water from her previously cast spells) rolled down Io's brow. '[color=thistle]Finding someone that fits all of those may be difficult.[/color]' She dryly thought to herself as she looked over the task force members near her.
