Emma glanced at Penny after her admission, and down quickly. She needed to take a page out of Penny's book. The demon was scared, but it wasn't stopping her from living life and focusing on what she had to do. She'd do whatever she could to help her friend.

"Penny...if that's the case, when we do fight, I don't want you involved, okay? I know it's a lot to ask, but if you would lose, you'd lose a lot of mana as well. I won't argue if you pick off people to at least gain some mana, but the major fighting...please...don't get involved..."

The mage fell silent as Penny admonished her for using the confining in battle, and agreed with a nod. The new ability comment, however, made her head spin with idea. She glanced at the retreating white haired demon, chewing her bottom lip, and glanced upwards slowly. "I'll work on some new skills...I...I think I can figure something out. Especially with creating circles with my mind...I could try for area attacks using them. The same concept as binding, but with damage instead of confining."

She remained staring upwards while Penny spoke to Hannah. It was true. The large woman had never focused on magic, though Emma had assumed it was simply a lack of it. Obviously, being a demon, Hannah had some, but Emma had assumed she didn't have much, and had no need for it. If mana provided a demon's life force and power, however, it must hold true that the strong demon had quite a bit of mana.

"Is there anything else you should tell me, Penny?" Emma questioned finally, standing and brushing herself off. "I'm going to do everything I can to ensure you don't die yet...I know it probably doesn't count for a lot, but I think we can do this. Otherwise...if anything comes up...tell me, okay? I don't care if you just need to talk or something, okay?" She was tired, but still didn't feel ready for the upcoming battle. She wanted to train some more, although she wouldn't ask for help from either friend, or Slayzer. It was just a matter of grinding, so it shouldn't be too difficult. Elise would be needed, though, and Emma didn't have much money. She'd offer what she had, and hopefully it would be enough for tonight at least. For now, she would focus on the battle, just like Penny had been doing. Focusing on what was needed.
