She's in a jumpsuit and looking pleased but worse for the wear, which was normal considering the care and upkeep of 99 flying cats. The minipets themselves are out of sight and the room is much quieter than it should be. With a huff of laughter, Clarice sits on a crate and then groans. "I swear it's easier just getting beat up in a spar." She wiggles her eyebrows at Molly and grins, a bit proud, "Word on the street is you've become one of our strongest fighters."

Molly fiddled with the sleeve of her own jumpsuit, a small smile on her lips. Touching the fabric between her fingers was a constant reminder of how grateful and appreciative she was that Miss Clarice had given her one. Her. She felt so honored, even if jumpsuits were a dime a dozen. She felt honored that Miss Clarice had put one aside for her. She knew it was pretty quiet in the room, but she passed it off as the canon cats being temporarily moved as they cleaned their current room. At Clarice's words, Molly startled, her cheeks going red as she was praised. She glanced over at the woman, before staring down at her boots again. "O-oh gosh! ...Really?" She couldn't seem to believe that people were talking about her. She then shook her head a bit, and looked back up at Clarice with a wide smile. "I'm only able to fight well because of you, Miss Clarice!" She believed this with all of her heart. "If it wasn't for you taking the time to help and train me, I don't know where I'd be!"

The blonde laughed fondly and shook her head. "The talent and hard work is all you." She gave Molly an odd little smile, and continued, "I can't say I expected you to be such a powerhouse, though. But I'm glad, because you're responsible, Molly, and with great strength comes the responsibility to use it for the sake of others."

"Ah...th-thanks..." She ducked her head a bit, before she looked back up at Clarice, and her eyes lingered on her smile. Something seemed...off...Miss Clarice's smiles were always so warm. Maybe she was having a bad day? She was about to ask if everything was alright, but paused. "Oh...I didn't think so either..." She agreed to the powerhouse comment, but then paused. "Oh...yes...I think so, too...I...like using my weapon only for others...that's my job." Molly paused again, still smiling at the other woman, if not questioningly. "Um...is everything alright, Miss Clarice? Is...something the matter?"

"There's a war coming, Molly."

Molly blinked before her expression settled to going wide in surprise. "A war?" She echoed. "...who?" She whispered. "Is...it like when the insanity was here? With the Phoenix..." Her brows then knitted as she waited.

"Oh, sweetie," Clarice gazed at Molly with sad concern, "everything you've experienced...those were just incidents. I mean a war. A real one."

Molly gasped, her eyes going wide at the mere thought that everything they had been through was nothing compared to what Clarice said was coming. No...surely it couldn't? But this was Miss Clarice...and she wouldn't lie... "W-what should I do? Miss Clarice...does everyone know? What...is coming?" How was she going to protect those she cared about...

Lucyal SORRY I THOUGHT ID TAGGED THIS The blonde shook her head with a grimace, "They think they do, but they don't understand the scope of it. Molly," she sighed, "...I think it's time you stopped playing around and started focusing on your strengths as a warrior. You came to this place for a reason and you need to remember why." The sound of 99 pairs of wings began to sound, beating at the walls and door. Another sigh, "I'm can't stay much longer, they've noticed..."

Molly started to feel panic welling up. "But--" She paused, looking rather shocked, as if she had just been slapped. Stop playing around? Remember why? A feeling of guilt twisted in her gut. The wings began to sound, and Molly glanced away from Clarice briefly before snapping her head back to the woman. Her hands unwound from her stomach to reached out for Clarice. "No...please! Don't go! Please stay, Miss Clarice! Please! Please...please tell me what is it I must do! Please continue to help me!"

Cracks begin to form and the light flickers on and off and in the strobing shadows Clarice's face is not so vibrant, her eyes no longer lively. The blonde is too still when she is not speaking. "Be strong, Molly," and her voice is that of a hundred pairs of wings and power, sparking and electric across the girl's nerves. The walls break apart and light fails to return, except in the form of two eyes, glowing yellow. "The future grows closer." The eyes close and all that's left to Molly it a vast darkness, full of uncertainties and danger.

Molly's panicked gaze snapped to the room, darting this way and that before she looked towards Clarice. Dread filled her. Clarice didn't seem...she didn't seem...alive. "I--" She wanted to ask how. How did she stay strong? Was she even strong to begin with? Why did everyone think she--
She reached out for her, as the walls broke apart and darkness over took the room. She reached for the glowing eyes with she knew where Miss Clarice's, yet she knew that wasn't the Miss Clarice she knew. "PLEASE--" They closed, and darkness overtook her, and her chest ached as she was alone. Alone in the dark. Alone with herself, and with thoughts and feelings she had long buried.
