    Azura blinked a bit, as she felt her hand grabbed, before she was pulled along with her pushy girlfriend. She was going to have to get used to never getting her way, it seemed! Though it was true, what was there to do in a abandoned temple that had zero privacy, what with it's Shoji styled doors, it was hard to be very secretive in this building.
And then she stopped suddenly, making Alisa stop short too! "..Wait, I know what you are doing! ...You are avoiding her, aren't you? " They were at least a ways away that they had plenty of privacy with their conversation. "I think I would feel better if you and Phoenix really talked things out..It only makes me feel bad for both of you, I know you want to be friends with her again. Don't you think it's about time you both worked things out? "
Meanwhile, as everyone was enjoying their time splashing around, or relaxing, Sephriea was the only one sitting outside, away from the water on a giant bolder. She didn't look very thrilled to be here, if anything, she looked pretty lifeless, like she didn't know what to do but sit there like a statue! She was very awkward when fun came up.

Alisa "Hey! Stop stopping!" How dare Azura not submit to her pushiness! That was her job as the b***h in the relationship! "What? Avoiding who? I'm trying to see the forest!" It wasn't hard to tell that she didn't exactly find the idea of being around Phoenix to be enjoyable, so that was part of it. "What? No. I don't have anything to say to her. If she wants to talk to me, she can come, get down on her knees, and grovel! But, heh, I wouldn't want you to get jealous, so she probably shouldn't." She grinned, but only for a moment before it fell back into a slightly bothered expression. "I don't want to work things out. You don't get everything that happened... It's not something that can really be fixed. My friendship with her is in the past. She made her choice. She chose her own pleasure over- ugh, I don't want to talk about this. Can we just go? There are better things to talk about. Like that snake! Look at that snake!" She pointed to a rather large, thick snake slithering across the ground near them and hissing. "Oh god, it's so cute." She lunged at the snake like the completely sane princess she was, scooping it up into a big, loving hug. "Aww, look at it...!!" The snake didn't react the way one might expect. Probably thanks to Alisa's close connection with nature, she made friends with animals very easily, and the snake's large body coiled gently around Alisa, as if it was returning the hug. 'Gosh, I love nature. And it seems to like me too." Yeah, that seemed pretty obvious... "Come on, Azura! The night is young, and Sir Slithereens can be our guide as we explore the forest!" She took her hand again, once again asserting her pushiness onto her poor girlfriend in an attempt to drag her away into a night of apparent fun, all the while the snake lovingly wrapped around the elf hissed with what sounded like joy. ...What a... strange scene... (( OOC: ))

"I know you well enough now to know when you aren't telling the full truth! " She didn't want to ruin the mood, of course, but still it did feel like a important thing to be worked out. " I think she's afraid of approaching you, so that probably won't happen etherway. The tension between you two is so obvious! " And it seemed she was the only one who could see it, being the only one who really knew what happened to a slight degree. "I just don't think this is a good idea...we live in a world where almost anything could happen. I would hate to hold a grudge against someone, you know? If something were to happen to her, you would be left feeling terrible. I don't think is enjoying it ether...but fine! I won't speak of it anymore. " She really just wanted them both to be happy around each other, and there to be no awkwardness surrounding any of them.
Leave it to Alisa to be her goofy, energetic self and completely forget about the topic of only three seconds ago! With a small shake of her head, Azura's face fell into an amused smile as she brought to her a new victim of her more silly affection, the poor snake. Or was it a poor snake? It seemed pretty happy with Alisa. Not a huge surprise, though. Especially for a Forest Serenitian and their much more closer bond with nature. Serenitians were all pretty amazing with nature too, just not quite as on the level of the Forest Serenitians. Azura on the other hand, was close with every living creature, probably due to making every kind of ocean friend she could but the hungry sharks. She loved all animals of the sea and land. "It is a pretty snake too.." She would of gave it a little pet, but it seemed very content with Alisa right now! "Ah! Okay, okay.." She should just never suggest anything again! What a strange scene this was turning out to be, as they would now rely on a snake as their guide through the forest. Alisa was certainly a trip!

Alisa"She should be!" Whether or not Phoenix knew that Alisa knew the full truth, it didn't matter until she tried to speak with her. Most likely, Phoenix didn't know, but Alisa was a Forest Serenitian, and they were very attuned to the "Touched," those who had been with a Reaper. It didn't take rocket science to understand what had happened. And so soon after breaking her heart... That was the thing that Alisa couldn't forgive. "I'm not holding any grudge. The bridge is burned, that's all there is to it." Phoenix was great at burning things, and the bridge was no different it seemed. ...Very funny. That was all she had to say on that subject, though...
Better to move on to other ones, like the adorable snake. And almost as importantly, moving on, as Azura conceded. "You're so cute when you fall in line." Azura would feel a sudden slap on her backside, accompanied by a squeeze, as the perverted elf smirked at her, clearly conveying who was in charge here, and what belonged to her. "Obedient little minnow...~" She winked, leaning in to place a sweet, yet commanding kiss on her lips. The tour could wait a few more seconds while she tormented her cute little fish girlfriend a little, couldn't it?(( OOC: ))

Azura decided not to say anything further on the subject of Phoenix, it wasn't in her intentions to bring the mood down or anything, even if she did still care about their friendship.
She had more important things to worry about now, it seemed, like her perverted girlfriend and her never-ending playfulness! Good thing for that snake, it would help to keep Alisa from falling to deep into her pervy side! Still, it didn't stop her from some activities with that hand of hers, creating a small blush to Azura's face. Next came the kiss, which she returned as brief as it was. It felt..a little strange to get to cute with a snake wrapped around Alisa like it was! As if it cared or something! "...S-so....the forest..we should start our exploring.! " It was a pretty big forest, but she had to wonder how interesting it would really be after a while!

Alisa"Mhmmmm..." Alisa's smirk widened, she so loved seeing her all nervous. "We'll continue this scene a bit later..." She brushed her index finger gently below Azura's chin, staring directly into her eyes with her own, half-lidded eyes. "Look forward to it." Leaving that promise in the air, she took Azura by the hand once again. "Now hurry up!" Like a whirlwind of emotion, hurricane Alisa swept through, one moment making lewd promises and rushing off to do some fun activity the next. It was a wonder how anyone could keep up with her.
"Oh, well, look who it is!" It didn't take the two long to stumble upon where the boys had been left standing, Alisa giving them a mocking little wave. "What's the matter, wish you could be with all the naked girls, pervs?""Something like that.""At least one of you is honest!" Alisa grinned."We're here to make sure nothing attacks while you're all having fun, as you know. You can rest assured that we're-""Yes, yes, blah blah blah, you're very reliable I know. You don't need to try to impress me, Ephraim, but I'm flattered. You should save it for my sister though!" Ephraim sighed in response. "You should see her in there, so immodestly dressed! Heheh, I wonder if you could contain yourself...!""Why are you holding Azura's hand?" Kaden interjected, sounding suddenly rather protective."..." Alisa felt suddenly apprehensive. If ever Azura's feelings might falter, it would be right now... She felt her heart pick up a bit, and she tried to swallow her nerves. "Sh-she- ahem! She's my girlfriend! I figured word would've spread by now...""...What? Is that true, Azura?" Kaden seemed a bit caught off-guard by this. "...Really... Azura, I warned you about her. She's a pervert. I think you deserve a lot better." Uh yeah, he really didn't need to tell her she was a pervert, did he. The more Kaden spoke, the more nervous Alisa became. If anyone's words would sway Azura's opinion, it would be his. "You- hey?!" Kaden jumped back as the snake wrapped around Alisa lunged at him, just narrowly stopping short. Clearly he wasn't actually attacking, but more so threatening, and he still stayed in a rather menacing stance and hissed lowly. Apparently it knew that Alisa's mood was declining, and it was getting very irritated by it. "What the-? Animals don't usually act that way to me. Anyway... Azura, did you really give this enough thought? You deserve someone who will treat you-""Hey, enough." Ephraim's hand clamped down on Kaden's shoulder, causing him to jump a bit. "Show some respect. I trust Alisa with my life, and she's saved all our lives multiple times. She's eccentric at times, but there are few I'd rather have watching my back. And for what it's worth, I rather like who she is as a person, as unbearable as it can be." Well, that really showed the truth of their friendship, didn't it? As much as they seemed to bicker, Ephraim was rather immediately to her defense when someone threw her character into question."..." Kaden shrugged off Ephraim's hand. "We'll see."Alisa, who was becoming increasingly nervous, suddenly perked back up, taken aback by Ephraim's words. "...Oh... you...!" She took a step closer to him, suddenly throwing her arms around him in a friendly embrace. Ephraim stiffened up, of course. Poor awkward Ephraim, getting hugged by these Forest Serenitian princesses. "I knew you cared! You're the best, most annoying friend a princess could ask for!" The snake around Alisa gently rubbed its cheek against Ephraim's, apparently also showing affection for apparently causing Alisa to return to her chipper self. And as the otherworldly princess with the pointy ears hugged him and a snake affectionately rubbed against his cheek, Ephraim just had to wonder for a moment when his life became so horribly bizarre. "I give you permission to ******** my sister after all!""Can you stop with that already?!" Oh, to long for the days when his life was quiet and peaceful. What a lifetime away those memories seemed!(( OOC: ))

Azura took a deep breath, the tint of pink increasing a little to her cheeks as she continued to tease her. She would never get used to the amount of teasing she would get from Alsia! It wasn't a bad thing, though. Despite her blushing and nervousness, it was pretty clear Azura enjoyed every little moment of it. "I can only process so much! " She responded, as if she could ever keep up with her!
Fortunate for Azura's nervousness, she could get a break from worrying about what next her girlfriend might want to do in her pervy nature! Though, she had to wonder why all the guys were out here. There were some ladies in that group that probably wouldn't find their presence so welcoming!
But then, her eyes caught onto a certain prince she didn't notice until, well, now. Her heart began to pick up, how silly it was to feel so nervous, so strangely guilty. She really had nothing to feel guilty for, yet somehow that feeling was really playing havoc on her right now. Kaden was the one she loved most of her life, she dealt with so many emotions throughout her life, only to never ever really get his attention the way she wanted. He clearly never saw her as a love interest, he never once showed any affection but a kind, brotherly affection instead. But now, things were.......different. In the best way possible Azura never expected... "She is playful..but she also is very kind, and caring. We haven't been together long, yet I feel happier then I ever felt in my life. I am where I want to be, and that is with Alisa now.." While it may of been a little painful to say that to Kaden of all people, she did mean every word.."...And she is perfect for me.." She added softly.

AlisaReleasing poor Ephraim from the hug, Alisa placed her hands behind her, taking a few steps back. Maybe she didn't need to be nervous after all--it seemed Azura had enough conviction in their romance not to let Kaden sway her. Not that she should be surprised, but it was a very nice feeling. "Couldn't agree more!" Alisa said, latching her arm around Azura's. "I think we make the perfect couple, frankly!" Sir Slithereens nodded confidently, despite likely having no idea what was being discussed."Two girls huh? That's pretty hot.""Are you twelve?""What? I just said what we were all thinking." Claude certainly seemed the carefree type who wasn't afraid to speak his mind. Though there was certainly more to him than what appeared on the surface."Anyway! You guys should all keep your distance! If you try to peak, you'll really regret it you know. Though if you want to Ephraim, I guess that would be fine. I know you'd just stare at Athena after all, and no harm in that since you'll be married to her eventually." The look she received from Ephraim caused her to do a little cackle. She was having too much fun with this."L'Arachel is the one he mentioned by name, so...""Well! He would forget about her when he saw Athena! So!!" This discussion was becoming less and less intelligent as it went on.(( OOC: ))

     It was almost amusing just how dense these serenitians were, how long was she here now? ...Longer then they have been, and not one noticed her up there in the tree, directly above the springs they were enjoying so much! It was nice and steamy, and she just happened to have been laying there on two branches that would support her. Her back was against them, so she wasn't actually looking down at them at all, just laying there, relaxed as though it was the most comfortable spot in the entire world. "Not only are they dense, but noisy too...and it -was- so peaceful! "
As much as it was truly bothering Azura, she tried her best to not let those emotions show, covering them with a small smile when Alisa latched onto her arm like that. It was rather cute, so that smile wasn't exactly fake ether. "This was a very happy, unexpected surprise.." Had Alisa not shown up, she would definitely have been alone for her future, at that time she was already giving up. So it seemed, Alisa not only made her finally happy, but also saved her.

Caius "You seem lonely..." A low voice accompanied a sudden, harsh pressure around Phoenix--a suffocating pressure that would make her body feel heavy and her powers unresponsive. She was lucky to have been away last time he showed, but now here she was, alone in this house, and without anyone to help her. And Caius's ability to mask his presence from most Serenitians would allow him to finish this before anyone would realize things were awry. "Do you know how much I loathe your dear father?" He walked around her, his arm stretching out and clamping around her throat. "Do you know how he would weep at your death? I would so love to see that." Caius's voice was low and so full of hatred. "I will kill your sister too, once I finish with you. She seems to be having fun, she and all her friends so helpless. Fools. And that king who made a mockery of me--I will destroy him especially." Ephraim and Eskallion, Caius seemed to hate kings whose names started with E."....?" Alisa's head turned to the side. Something... wasn't.... right. Athena would feel something was off too, though she wouldn't be able to place it as well as Alisa. Forest Serenitians, due to dealing with Reapers more than any other kind, were more attuned to dark creatures, including demons. Though Caius could mask his presence very well, she... still felt something... very wrong. "..." Her senses seemed to overtake her, as she focused as hard as she could, looking for anything slightly off...
...Phoenix...
.......Something was wrong with Phoenix. Caius masking the area made it hard to discern, but she focused as hard as she could to probe Phoenix's brain. ...And after several moments, her eyes snapped open. "Caius!""What?!""!!" She didn't have any time, no time, she broke out into a dead sprint straight back to where the house and the springs were. Ephraim obviously knew exactly who Caius was, and took off after her immediately, as did Cloud."Uh, the girls are still- oh boy." Well, this was going to go south quickly..."Slamming through the fence near the springs, she didn't waste any time on words to those who were relaxing--she should warn them, perhaps, but Phoenix was moments away from death."Have you lived a full enough life? Are you ready to die?"Drawing her bow and nocking an arrow, Alisa slammed her shoulder into the door to open it, letting loose an arrow laden with concussive force right as Caius raised his blade. He looked back only in time to see the arrow was coming, but he wasn't prepared for the concussive blast that would throw him across the room and cause a horrible ringing in his ears. Something he might especially hate after last time. Yes, Alisa developed more magical arrows after their last encounter to try to be better-prepared next time he showed up. "...!" Phoenix... even after everything... she couldn't just let her die. She didn't think about it for even a moment--her legs just moved immediately upon sensing she was in danger. "...Are you okay?!" She finally managed in spite of her feelings, closing the distance between herself and Phoenix quickly, arrow still nocked and ready.Ephraim and Cloud passed through the fence opening Alisa had made only moments after she did, but they were suddenly stopped by-- uh, well-- sights that they didn't realize they were going to see. "...Wh-" Ephraim's face reddened and he quickly averted his eyes. "Wait, this isn't-!" Oh god, how did this happen? Why did something like this always happen when Hot Springs were involved?"Wow, Tifa." Cloud paused a moment. "Uh, I mean-" That was quite the reaction to what he was looking at... "This was an accident!" Accidents weren't always bad things, he supposed... (( OOC: ))

"...? " Phoenix moved to sit up from the floor where she was laying, only she didn't get that far, before the pressure took hold and made movement near impossible, if that wasn't bad enough, she quickly realized she couldn't use her powers, that included her ability to contact anyone mentally. How did she of all people, end up in such a situation like this? "Who the hell are you? " ...And that, was all the words she would get to speak before his hand came down over her throat. This was turning pretty bad, especially with how much dark energy literally poured from that mans aura. She couldn't say anything, she couldn't move, or do anything but give him the most deathly glare ever.
This helpless feeling was not the way she imagined her death would be like. What did she imagine? Fighting to the death, fighting with all she had before her life was over, not this.It was...such a humiliating way to die! All she could do was watch as she grew more terrified for her life, the moment he raised that blade..
And then, an arrow struck the mans heavily armored body, the concussive blast it created sending him back and away from her was the most hopeful sight she could ever hope for. With his distraction, it was enough to break the dark power he was using on Phoenix that kept her from moving, and she could feel her powers returning within those seconds. "..Thanks to you, I'm still alive." She knew it wasn't the best time in the world, but..."..I guess this means you don't hate me anymore! " She could have let him kill her. "Thank god.." Phoenix took the moment of his disorientation to grab her into a hug. Careful enough not to really mess up her readiness to shoot another arrow if ol'darkness decided to try anything again..Rather Alisa wanted that hug or not, well, it really didn't matter to Phoenix. She wasn't one to yell out and be gleeful of something, but she was very thankful for her saving her life there, and more so that she chose to. After everything..
Letting her go just as quickly, she took a step behind her, so they were now back to back, as she drew her katana, which soon burst into flames...
"You won't get anywhere near my father, or my sister...I will stick this blade right through your disgusting body, and burn you inside and out...Would you like to feel what it's like to be cooked?! "
Meanwhile, within the springs, there was quite a bit of screams going on there. SOME of those brave girls were no longer wearing a towel in the water, they only had a slightly murkiness to the water due to the heat to keep them somewhat hidden, along with their hands...as they crossed their arms over their chest to cover some of their bodies up! Yeah, these men wouldn't survive the rest of the night after this...! Tifa, on the other hand...was so shocked at seeing CLOUD there, ...talking to her, looking at her, she didn't quite cover herself up fast enough, until it really hit her..and she dipped herself completely under water to hide herself!

Alisa"...It's- I don't..." She felt her heart sink a bit as she averted her eyes. Why did things have to turn out this way... It was hard to be around her, to remember what they had been through together. For so many years, they had been so close. Why did things turn out this way? "I just did what anyone would do." She said with a somewhat aloof and detached voice. Was that true? It was hard to say. But... perhaps what did matter was that she had sprinted to her rescue the moment she realized. If she didn't act, Phoenix would be dead right now. That was the truth, and perhaps that was what mattered. She was surprised by the sudden hug, and her body instinctively tensed up. Well, now she knew what Ephraim felt like! She didn't push her away, but she couldn't find it in herself to return the hug. Things were far too complicated between them... Still, it wasn't the worst feeling in the world. She could say that.
As Phoenix took a place behind her, Alisa refocused on the battle at hand, drawing her nocked arrow slightly in the string as her eyes scanned the dark room around them. "I'm not going to be scared by you this time." She announced, raising her bow and letting loose her arrow, which lodged into the ceiling and began to shine brilliantly. It lit the room as well as the sun, but still Caius was nowhere to be found. Awaiting the proper moment to strike... "This is Caius," she informed Phoenix concisely without turning to her. "My mother and your father--along with the other rulers--barely managed to defeat and seal him away ages ago. Since then he's only amassed more power, and now he's here.""So well-educated. You should know then that you can't defeat me, Althesa's brat.""Well, never say never. We beat you before." The screaming outside alarmed her for a moment, but she realized quickly that Caius was still in the house. So why...? ...Oh. "Oh, uh... I guess the guys followed me. Haha... oops." Yeah, she could feel Ephraim's distress now that she focused on it for a moment. "I'm not sure if they'll be able to get to us to provide backup..." Well, that was an oops on her part. But if she had wasted any time, Phoenix might be dead right now. She could deal with the guys maybe being killed by the girls outside. Maybe they'd enjoy it!
Suddenly the demon knight appeared in front of her, thrusting his blade at her with the intent to skewer both her and Phoenix on it at once. Rotating her wrist, a small portal opened right in front of her abdomen, swallowing the blade and redirecting it out another portal next to him, causing the blade to come out and slam into him instead."What?!""Stop hitting yourself!" She slammed her palm against his torso, a gust of powerful wind jettisoning out of her palm at the place of impact and sending him flying a short distance, slamming against the wall."Ugh... Portal magic? That's not possible..." Caius stood, holding his blade at his side. "I killed Nyx with my own hands... Who taught you that magic?""Wouldn't you like to know!" She let two arrows loose at once, both spiraling towards Caius, who reared his blade back, using the flat of it to slap them right out of the air and away from him."You're hopelessly outmatched. Answer my question, and I will leave you in peace today.""..." Well, while she wasn't as afraid of him as last time, she still didn't love her odds against him now. "Nobody taught it to me. I've known this magic for as long as I can remember. I didn't use it openly until recently, but it's the first magic I managed to use.""...Impossible..." Caius paused for several moments, in contemplation. "...Then you are... How ironic. Althesa's own daughter. Maybe it's fate.""I don't like it when people talk in riddles.""You don't even know. But why would you? They would hide everything. That's how they are. Erasing every piece of history that doesn't suit them." His head turned slightly, towards Phoenix. "Your "friend" is an omen--a curse that spells death, for everyone she's close to. And eventually all creation. You should be careful. I might not be able to kill you before she does.""What are you even talking about?! If this is your elaborate ruse to try to make us all turn on each other, it's pretty sad!" ...Still, that was... a little alarming to hear. Caius obviously seemed to know something about this magic she used, and she had never seen any other Serenitian use it. Not to mention... she felt some need to keep it hidden all her life, and she never realized why. ...But surely he was just trying to get under her skin.Meanwhile, in a much less serious but perhaps even more dangerous scene outside, unlike Ephraim who had immediately averted his gaze, Cloud seemed to be unable to look away from Tifa. Some... old and buried feelings were starting to resurface, it seemed. It was hard to see her as a woman, sometimes. Obviously he knew she was one. It went without saying. But... it was different, in this context. Like he had to see her not as Tifa, his ally and close comrade for their journey, but as a woman. A woman who, once, he... "..." It wasn't until she dropped to hide herself that he realized what he was doing. And at last, he turned away, but his mind was completely in shambles...It was probably because of Alisa's teasing that the first person Ephraim noticed here was Athena, in spite of everything, Alisa's words perhaps brought her closer to the front of his mind. So when they first saw this sight before them, that was the first figure his eyes locked onto, before averting away. And... in spite of himself, and how shameful it was... he did... glance back. She was adorable, and this... improper context just made her look more helpless, which magnified her cuteness even more. Ephraim certainly wasn't a pervert, but seeing her like this, it was hard not to notice how attractive her body was. ...Ah, these were... not very proper thoughts. Even though he wasn't being too obvious, Athena would almost certainly notice. It was probably good Caius had offered to leave since it would probably be several more moments at least until the guys came back down to earth.(( OOC: ))

フェニックスの平静
"If I relied on that, I wouldn't be talking to you right now. " Due to everyone being so stupidly distracted, it was only Alisa who sensed something was wrong, and acted immediately. Still, she was beginning to sense Alisa's discomfort returning, an unfortunate thing, but she wouldn't bother her any further after this, if she still wanted to keep her distance from Phoenix. For now, it was more important to pay attention to their surroundings, as she remained facing away from Alisa. This way, she could watch this side, while making a sneak attack impossible for him from behind ether of them.
Her plan wasn't going to help protect them from the sudden move he tried next, by the time Phoenix turned around, Alisa's..impressive abilities were already at work, and sending the fool back into the wall. God, even now, with her powers returned, she couldn't help but feel a bit pathetic watching Alisa beat the heck out of him. "...Uh..right. Did she hit you so hard your brain isn't functioning correctly? That's the stupidest thing anyone has ever said, and no one is going to believe it.." She really didn't think for a second, Alisa would want to kill her. Meanwhile, they might not of noticed with their focus on Caius, a ready to fight mermaid was standing a bit in the doorway, her summoned water spirit along side her, ready to attack if she was needed. Yes, Azura wasn't going to just ignore the fact that Alisa took off after the most dangerous man they knew.
While most girls were hiding to the best of their abilities, confused and embarassed, Athena was sitting there at a slightly higher area of the springs, where there were more rocks to sit on comfortably, with a towel wrapped around her small frame, she didn't quite notice how alluring her position might of been to the men, or especially, the one she didn't realize was watching her yet! With her slender, wet legs dangling over the rock, as she sat there with a fully visible body for everyone to see, but for what the towel covered. Her long blond hair only covering some of her body over her shoulders, while most kind of stayed back and over some of the rocks. Finally, she began to feel a pair of eyes on her, causing her to blink at Ephraim, only to smile innocently at him.
That's when she got to her feet, carefully stepping off the rocks and onto the grass. "Ephraim! ...Would you like to play in the springs too? " She asked him as she hurried over to grab his hand. He would feel himself being tugged gently...tugged towards the springs..!

Claude von Riegan"Ignorance breeds discrimination. Whether you look inside the bottle or outside of it... If you really look, all you'll find are people you can get along with, if you only try.
That's why I wanna bust open that lid, which is keeping us locked inside. Or destroy the bottle entirely." "Sheesh, you'd think none of you have seen a naked woman before..." Claude said with a bit of a sigh. ...They had, hadn't they? Surely. Right? ...Well, regardless, he certainly had experience in this field, so he wasn't quite so jaw-on-the-floor here, and made his way towards the house. Drawing Failnaught after entering, he nocked a wicked-looking, serrated arrow that matched the bow it belonged to, letting it fly right towards Caius. The slug had a red aura around it as it sped at alarming speed towards its mark, but he vanished a moment before it touched him, and the arrow instead went straight through the wall, creating a hole a good bit bigger than the arrow. Needless to say, THAT would hurt to be struck by. "Great, love fighting someone who can warp around on their own." When Lysithea was the one Warping them around, he thought to himself how annoying that would have to be to fight, but it seemed like some people in this world could just Warp on their own, no Lysithea needed. Talk about unfair. Not that he had any room to talk about fairness..."...He... should be gone." Alisa was a little put-off by his words. Surely they were just lies, but he obviously knew SOMETHING about the magic she had. It was a bit unnerving.Athena was so very innocent, wasn't she? It was funny, in a way it reminded him of L'Arachel, but in the exact opposite way. One was so innocent that they thought two people of opposite genders could be together in this context with no issue, the other became alarmed at the sight of his bare shoulder alone. "Ah, th-this isn't-" It was perhaps seeing L'Arachel that brought him back to earth, and made him realize how bad this situation was. And here he was, being innocently led to where the girls were trying to hide themselves. He really needed to stop this. He reacted to that feeling a bit too suddenly though, quickly stepping backwards and stumbling back, toppling down to his back. And with Athena holding his hand at the time, had she not released him, she would naturally follow suit, tumbling right down with him and ending up right on top of him. In her... current state. His attempts to fix the situation just made them so much worse, it seemed. This was it. He was just going to die right here beneath this adorable, immodestly-dressed hot elf girl. Perhaps there were worse fates...As Alisa came to the open doorway and saw exactly what was going on, she was definitely able to stow away those uncertain feelings of hers in favor of how amazing this scene had turned out. "Oh, man, I'm good." Alisa said mostly to herself and the other two girls there. Claude had elected not to go to the doorway until this scene was over, maybe he could avoid the fallout. "First Jake and Uni, now my adorable little sister and Ephraim, I'm a a real matchmaker!" The smugness in her voice and on her face was oh so typical of Alisa. As if Ephraim and Athena were together already! Then again, with the scene in front of her, it was hard not to make assumptions. "Y'know, it is kinda my fault the guys are in this situation, but it's their fault that they stayed and looked. I say we explain everything laaater, later enough that they can get their punishment." Alisa loved tormenting people it seemed. Something Azura must have known well by now. (( OOC: ))

    Had Athena had better, quicker reflexes, she might of been able to release his hand in time, but it was starting to be obvious just how bad at everything this girl really was when she too, found herself falling right with him! The fall didn't do well for the towel, ether, as the knot holding it together came undone, and a little of the towel fell a bit off her chest, leaving that area bare...and pressed against him. Oh boy. She could feel that it gave a bit of way, but didn't seem to be to bothered by the fact she was truly half naked on top the poor king. In fact, she smiled brightly down at him, as if it was both amusing, while being a innocent fall on his part! "Are you okay? " She asked sweetly, still smiling down at him. With the threat gone, Azura turned to Claude after his arrow completely missed it's target, all due to his warp abilities. "You have yet to see a Reaper, they are terrible with that ability.." Which kind of made them all the more dangerous, they could easily snatch anyone they wanted, and be gone before anyone could really do anything to save them. That was always a constant worry on her mind. Had L'Arachel not been one of the ones trying to hide herself, she might of actually made some real effort to confront the impure actions Ephraim and the young elf princess seemed to be in! As if it was intentional!
Annnd, speaking of a warp loving Reaper, Kana just..appeared there right next to the smug looking elf, her expression seemed clear how amused she was of the sight happening around them. "You have a evil streak, for a Serenitian Princess. I like it! " Kana stood there, arms crossed, trying to think of a way to spice it up some. How strange it was that she couldn't come up with anything! She may of gone a little to soft over the years since leaving Krul's command. "Ugh...This going soft thing is destroying my evil thought process.." It was such a horrible thing! "Well, whatever. I could send them together in one of the rooms of that house, and lock them in there for a while..heh heh...! "
