Elya remained in the corner as no one responded to her idea of retrieving the others. Still, she needed to now where Cin was. Not having him in sight made her uneasy. She waited for a little while, watching as everyone did what they had to. She was particularly proud of Reriic. She knew he took little pleasure in helping others, yet he knew it was the right thing to do. She had always respected him because of this. Despite his displeasure, he would do what was right and what was expected of him. She smiled softly, then heard Kiya's mutter. Looking around, she spotted the dancer not too far away and approached her, laying a soft hand on her back. "Dear not Kiya. Jean deserved more than what he was given, in my opinion. If I'd have been in Kunal's position ..." Her thoughts drifted to Kunal's cries of pain and shuddered. "Well, I would not be happy either. Worry not though. It's only a bloody nose. He shall recover from it. I have one many times in the line of duty." She grinned.
It was then that she noticed Kunal leaving the house that she remembered that Bashira was missing also, then it struck her that maybe the two were together. A frown creased across her forehead. If that were true, she would be very surprised. Though the two were betrothed, she was pretty sure both Cin and Bashira despised one another. Clearing her throat, she excused herself from Kiya. "Please excuse me Kiya. I have to find Cin." She gave the dancer a final smile, and followed Kunal outside, just before Jean did. Upon stepping out in the cool air, she heard their voices, talking to one another. She went and stood not too far from Kunal, who was watching with a blank expression. She could not conceal her shocked expression as she watched the two before her burying Rohan ... together. Working as a team. Elya realised this should be a happy moment to her, knowing that Cin and Bashira could at least talk to one another without violence ensuing, but she was too stunned to react according. So, Elya just stood there watching.
Then came the voices.
At first she didn't notice them. Then, as she slowly phased out of her stunned state, they became apparent. Her head flew around, straining her ears to see if she could understand them, straining for a word that was common. But she couldn't understand. A shiver flew up her spine so quickly she wouldn't have been surprised if the hair on the top of her head was standing up also. Then, one final voice echoed around and there was silence. For a moment.
Bang
Her body flew around to face the mushroom house she'd vacated not moments before. At first, nothing happened and she wondered if she had heard anything at all. Until ...
Bang
The mushroom house shuddered. Elya froze a moment, as the banging continued and the house slowly fell apart. Then her thoughts snapped awake. "Reriic and Sonya are still in there!" With one final glance back at Cin to make sure he was alright, she sprinted towards the house as fast as her legs would take her. "Prince Reriic! Sonya! Gods why did I leave the house?! I'm such an idiot!"
