"So we go to Roman and then we hide?" Nadeline asked, clearly as displeased as Jaakuna was. "I am not a coward, we owe that Meli a beatdown."
"No, we go, regroup, get weapons, and go back." Emiri stated, crossing her arms. "We are not hiding. Savayna can hold them off until we get back."
Grant tapped his knee somewhat nervously. He should have stayed with Savayna, but now his bigger worry was the guy opposite of him. In his state, Jaakuna would get himself killed...unless he asked for help. The last thing that needed to happen was Jaakuna drawing power from Zodiark again. "Perhaps...you should stay behind, Jaakuna." Grant told him slowly. "The...feni may leave you unsituated for battle...wouldn't want you...depending on other means." He emphasized his words, briefly looking at Wesley for assistance. Nadeline narrowed her eyes at Grant, who actively avoided her look, though he then looked at Emiri, remembering what Jaakuna said. "You should probably stay with him, Emiri." He suggested, not wanting her to rely on her powers, either.
"Are you crazy? I am not staying behind!" Emiri immediately protested. Grant could feel Nadeline's glare on him, it was getting dangerous.
It wasn't that Shion didn't believe Francis, but the way people were running by just...that did not look like the party running. That kind of running looked more like 'I'm running for my life' running. She slowly nodded as if to agree, and once the food came she gladly indulged. Still, as time passed by she couldn't help but notice more people running. It was definitely getting more noticeable. Still, she either ignored it or pretended not to notice as she ate. Least the food was good. As screaming was now heard, quite a few people turned their attention to the commotion outside. Shion raised an eyebrow at Francis, as if asking him what was going on.
Meli watched Savayna, her ice powers were somewhat impressive. Too bad she had seen better from more experienced black mages. "Really now? This coming from Archadia's Whore?" Meli asked, her own shadow jumping up from the ground and shielding her from Savayna's ice. She let out a huff of air, her breath emitting a small cloud. and Meli stepped forward, sinking down into her own shadow. Said shadow would multiply and spread, covering the floors, walls and ceiling, and from them several shadow clones bearing Meli's silhouette rose. Each one would unsheathe several kunai from their person, and all of them would begin throwing them at Savayna.
