Mariette was a bit taken aback by the Pea Princess’ attitude, and her choice of words. It was unlike any of the previous princesses of this land, and not in a good way. Mariette felt a bit like she shouldn’t listen too closely to the words this princess was spouting… Still, the bed was quite a sight. Looked dangerous, actually. In any case. Despite her manners, the Pea Princess made a good point. She couldn’t risk her life if there was no chance of victory. Still, Mariette had to ensure she was not compromised.

[color=077ae6]‘I understand. Your request makes sense. I do want to ask, however,’[/color] Mariette said, mentally pondering how to phrase this question so the target could not weasel her way out of it in case she was guilty. Mariette would know if she lied, after all. [color=077ae6]‘this isn’t a ploy or a trick, correct?’[/color] Yes or no question. It is more difficult to avoid lying to those.

[color=55B7AA]‘Alright! We’re ready to get started!’[/color] Ronin and Miko arrived at the scene, the indicated gathering coordinates. Ronin was determined to do what she could to help defend Penrose. Miko was not as sure she was attached to Penrose, but she would certainly help defend Ronin and her friends.

[color=DC9495]‘Alright,’[/color] Miko repeated the word Ronin had said. [color=DC9495]‘So we’re attacking, right? How are we doing this?’[/color] she asked, a bit nervous and desired a clarification of the current plan of action.
