Feeling a bit more relaxed, Stormy turns and faces the extraordinarily slender Angel of Death. In all her cold, intimidating glory. If there was one person/being Stormy knew she could count on for
something, it was Kai. Either Kai could do it, or she could find someone who would.
_I'll get right to the point,_ Stormy says, keeping up her Telepathy since the door is ajar.
_I wish to change my physical form. I want to be what I was before... the vampiress and kitsune. This form I have now... I don't know what it is, and I can sense there is some evil at work that I cannot condone. My children are both missing and so is my bodyguard. I'm sure this new form has something to do with it... so I wish to be rid of it. Please help me...I ask very humbly for your assistance in this matter._ She takes a hesitant step towards Kai, and then, in an act that would shock several to death if they had seen, she sweeps a graceful leg under her and sinks down to one knee. She keeps her closed eyes leveled on the floor.

S'Aura seems to be brought back once her name is called. Turning in the direction of her aunt's voice, she twitches her pointed ears and thinks for a brief moment. "Pretty fast," she replies, standing up. Her tail sweeps back and forth, the pink tip aglow. "What a great idea you came up with..." It was probably the first compliment she ever paid her aunt. And. Why hadn't S'Aura thought of that? Because Princesses were never supposed to be in danger. Yet Mario's Princess was forever getting her sorry a** kidnapped. S'Aura sighs, tossing a wave of crimson hair over a slim shoulder. Well, no time to feel bad. She had work to do. Studying the rest of the room, she figures she can make the platforms hover, so they won't have to keep jumping close to the walls. While deep in thought, she hears Alekai's voice...

Alekai listens to the ladies talk, and he's relieved when the platform becomes solid again. It
had been a good idea, Yuni's suggestion. He grins, his fangs glittering. She was so smart. Though the Princess seemed hurt that she hadn't suggested anything, and the vampire's grin soon fades. He'd have to do something about that. So he calls down to her, as gently as he can, "Your Highness, just making platforms for us is enough... You don't have to do everything yourself." The Princess turns back and looks up at Alekai, and her grateful, dazzling smile could break his heart... if it still beat. All he can do is smile back.
She really is gorgeous, he thinks.

Angelo binds Tosrym with some ropes of his Telekinetic energy, making sure she won't go anywhere. Now all he has to do is wait for the rescue party. He's sure they'll be here very soon. The Prince strolls around the room, noting it smells faintly of the same perfume-like scent as the pillow he picked up from the other room. It was probably something that came off her, like the natural oils and scent that one's body produces. Now he realizes that Tosrym had disgustingly underestimated him, and he's infuriated. He ought to kill her. But the Prince glowers away, his golden eyes smoldering. He'd let his mother deal with this.
