Vanilla Lane, "Kracko" Niles, & Mr. Milan
"
You're sure she's in there??" The mechanic watched the ship, worried. That girl was in there, probably messing around with his machines. She was going to make things worse!
"
Of course I'm sure." The icy woman had been watching the ship. They'd been chased away by that damn brown-haired woman, but she couldn't keep them from watching. Vanilla had seen their target slip inside the ship, so now all they had to do was wait.
Kracko sat nearby, watching the two in front of her. She'd never spent much time with them, Ryan had always kept her with him and sent these two away. She didn't much care for these two, in all honesty.

Trinity Stratos & Stephani "Kracko" Niles
The minstrel emerged from the crashed airship, gazing around herself at the coming evening. The shadow of a tall building across the park shaded her from the sun. A free hand locked the door to the ship while she tucked a note away into a pocket of her ensemble. While she proceeded away, Trinity wiped a few spots on her skin of oil with a cloth, making her way back to the hotel. She'd spent a good bit of time away, she should return before someone began to worry.
She hadn't heard so much as a peep from Kregor... was he having trouble tracking down his teammates?
Wait, was it suddenly cold? The minstrel noticed a drop in temperature before she realized what it meant. She searched her immediate vicinity for the incoming attack, and jumped out of the way just in time. A blaze of lightning arced through where she was just standing, and bounced after her again, from where it touched. Trinity called her quiver and bow and quickly shot two arrows. One, a parachute, and the other, "
Wind Arrow!" She let the wind whisk her body away into the air. It pulled her out of the way of the next electrical arc, and away from the man that had been moving to catch her.
A shard of ice flew out from somewhere along the rooftops, and the rope to Trinity's parachute were cut. She fell, the man (Mr. Milan) moving to catch her, but that arc of electricity came out from the side and caught her in midair. She was absorbed into it, and the arc carried on.
"
Looks like... she caught her."

The next thing she knew, Trinity was in an alleyway, standing in the arms of some young woman. She was a little... disoriented. It must have been how she was transported. But how-
That's right! Trinity stiffened and pushed the woman away, ready to fight. She faltered at the lack of enthusiasm from the other. "
Wh-what, you're not going to try and-"
"
Stop you? No." The words seemed to give the young lady the confidence, the resolve she needed. "
Ryan makes it seem so... nonchalant. Friendly. Like you belong with us. Do you?"
"
No."
"
I had the feeling. Trinity, right?" The minstrel nodded, and the lightning mage continued, "
my name is Stephani. The others call me Kracko. They'll be here soon. If you want to escape, then go now, now I'll have to capture you."
Trinity looked at the young lady and nodded. Before fleeing, she conjured an "
Ice Arrow!" and threw it at Stephani's foot, before escaping. Make it look good.
She just had to make it to the hotel, quickly. She'd be safe, there.
