If looks could kill, then the [i]Pompous Peacock[/i] would've been immolated near instantly in that Plaza. As his biting words lashed out towards Dyna, and struck at her sister's changed form, Dyna felt a cold rage grip her heart. As she took in how her sister visibly shirked from the harsh comment, and a wave of fear slammed into Dyna, that rage began to grow hotter. Even as Ranni's telepathic pulse of fear, spawned from Ayel's harsh insult and what it meant for how others saw her, tore across the Town. Touching the minds of each living being... albeit with differing grades of effect. In Dyna, that pulse of fear barely registered aside from knowing her sister was [i]scared[/i] of that man. That pulse only serving as fuel for her rage, which burned as brilliant as Aelios' Eternal Flame within her eyes as she glared down the noble. A single step was taken towards the noble, fist clenched with a grim determination to introduce the noble's face to the ground. Yet, her advance would be near instantly stopped as two hands caught her free wrist and Ranni's voice cut through the internal noise. Strangely, her voice sounded is if it were being heard twice, but Dyna chalked that up to being hung over. 

[color=5946b2][b]"J-Just let him go, sister. P-please."[/b][/color] She whispered, seemingly able to deflate the blooming blaze within her sister's heart in a mere second. The armored blonde having stopped her advance on Ayel, instead settling for glaring the bastard down as he rode his horse away from the gathering. As he left, Dyna's attention was once more on the averted gaze of her sibling, seemingly trying to decipher just what Ranni was thinking... [color=5946b2][i][b]I know I'm a monster...[/b][/i][/color] The girl thought, and gave her twin a confused look a second later when Dyna lifted Ranni's chin to look up at her. 

[color=daa520]"[b]You[/b] are not a monster, Ranni."[/color]

Yet Ranni wasn't even given a second to protest, nor to demand how her sister had seemed to know her thoughts, before Dyna was already attempting to distract Ranni's thoughts. [color=daa520]"Now, Ranni, come on. Let us go see if the proprietress here has a room we can borrow for you. I've got a spare change of clothes that should fit ya, and I can already hear the Priests' lectures if we let you stay in such dirtied clothes."[/color] She said, the ghost of a smile on her lips as she attempted to brighten Ranni's mood, even if just a little bit. Without waiting for her sister's response, Dyna had already spun on a heel and started guiding Ranni back towards the crowd gathering outside the tavern. Specifically, towards the very Blightborn who'd been the focal point of the noble's ire mere minutes beforehand. As the two approached, Dyna gave a wary look towards the blonde man who'd just recently arrived. Worried that he could be another to launch an attack on her already fragile sister.

Ranni, for her part, had retreated into her own mind after Dyna's suggestion for a change of clothes. Her violet gaze remained locked upon Dyna as she followed her sister. Wondering just how she'd managed to intuit her thoughts mere moments ago. So lost was she in her thoughts, that Ranni didn't notice the newly-grown appendage behind her moving with an anxious energy. Whipping side-to-side as a constant hazard to any she might pass. More thoughts raced through Ranni's mind, dragging her further down into that place of worry and self-reflection. Now that she'd managed to [i]survive[/i] the trek back, the Priestess finally allowed herself to think about her situation. Specifically, on whether or not she could continue serving as a Priestess. Would Aelios allow such a creature as herself such an important role? Would... humans... be willing to listen to a [i]Blightborn[/i] on religious topics? Was she now anathema to her very beliefs, being a creature born of something so opposed to Aelios' light. Worse than those worries; what would her mentor think of her now? Ranni remembered the stories of what'd happened to her, the rumors of [i]what[/i] had caused such wounds. 

A blightborn, like she was now. 

Almost as if on cue, Ranni's attention was suddenly torn from her thoughts and the immediate surroundings. The girl stopped walking in the midst of the crowd, turning to the [i]precise[/i] direction of the Hotsprings, as something so familiar suddenly danced across her mind. A... presence, almost. Something that felt familiar, and brought forward sudden memories of her lessons in the Capital. Of laughs shared with her mentor, and deep conversations about faith. The way the woman seemed to turn a blind eye whenever Ranni snuck off to visit the parentless children in the care of the Clergy. The feeling, while not as strong as the one that had drawn her to this town, felt familiar and comforting. Yet, at the same time, confusing and terrifying to the young Priestess. Why was she reminded so suddenly of her mentor? [i]Why[/i] was she so certain she could feel their presence in the Town?  

[color=5946b2][b]"Tia?"[/b][/color] She asked softly, calling out to her mentor as if asking the woman if the feeling she had was correct. 

Then, very abruptly, Ranni's attention was yanked back from deep inside her mind as she'd gone to follow her sister again... only to yelp in surprise and pain as she stepped on her own tail. Her cheeks flushed deeply with color, embarrassed by her sudden outburst. She looked over towards Dyna's worried expression, then towards the strange... snakelike blightborn they'd just been approaching and the blonde woman speaking to her. [color=5946b2][b]"A-ah! S-s-sorry! I-I'm not... used to this thing."[/b][/color] Ranni frantically explained with rapid gestures towards the still-cramping tail she'd just managed to step on. As she squeaked out her apology, the young Priestess moved to hide herself slightly behind Dyna, peaking out at all those gathered for the feast with hints of fear in her eyes. 

Fearful of her new circumstances in this world...
