Welcome to Gaia! ::

Cybele pursed her lips. "That doesn't sound good."

Her gaze flicked from Liryn and the youma dust to the cracked branch at their feet. He knew a thing or two about how to handle himself. Maybe she shouldn't worry.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" she said anyway, her brows knitting tighter. In all her time, she'd never heard of someone loosing power, but then, she'd never thought so much about guardian cats either, other than them being adorable and able to unlock more and more of her powers.

"Where are you headed? I could at least be your aura sense for the night." She'd dusted all of the youma she could find at this point, but there was no guarantee that some agent wouldn't notice what had happened and show up in the aftermath. This was a park at night, after all. This was where people came to pick fights, and she didn't want an acquaintance with magic that wasn't properly working to get stuck in the middle of a conflict, or snuck up on by something nasty that would show up after she left.

If Liryn had continued to insist he was fine, Cybele might have left, although begrudgingly, and determined to silently patrol this quarter of the city until dawn hit. His acceptance of her offer of help made things easier, and she relaxed into more of a smile.

"I don't think I've met that many of the guardian cats," she said, shaking her head and squinting as she thought back. "At least, I don't think I've ever met either of them." The cats didn't have auras even under normal circumstances, which made it more difficult to meet up with them even now that she was trying to focus more on making connections.

"But let's look." She tilted her head. "If they're human, they'll at least be a bit easier to see." And with luck, they'd be out looking for answers, too. She straightened and stepped away from the youma dust. "Should we start with the library, then?"
