Numira stared up at Kiernan once she could again, though his apology brought a frown to her face once more, saddened a little by his words. She understood what he was saying, but still she didn't want to consider him at fault, not for that, though if it gave him determination to get stronger, she wouldn't deny him a little guilt, if only a little. She pulled her free hand back and placed it gently over his chest as she held his other, cupping the area over his heart as she replied,
"The pains of the body can heal. The pains of flesh can heal. But pains of the heart are harder to heal and hurt much more than any thing that can hurt your body, enough to wish for death. It is more desirable than pain of the heart." She slipped her hand up around his neck and embraced him again, resting her head under Kiernan's chin,
"My heart does not hurt. If it had while my body hurt.. I think I would have given up.. I would have been happy to die at one time.. But not any more."

Ixera stared constantly at the small army in front of her, still smiling away. She could see the apprehension, the look of surprise on some of the faces up close.The words of the commander barking orders carried over clearly and she only grinned further. Try her out? Interesting choice of words. He wanted to test her to see if she was a threat then? At least he was cautious, but he hadn't the instinct of the larger Golem that had held them back. That one had considered her a threat the moment he saw the woman on the road. She wasn't walking int he opposite direction, after all. She was waiting.

She didn't move as several soldiers rushed her, the closest was a tall, brawny man, the others falling behind pace as the fellow swung a great sword overhead, bringing it down on the woman. At first there was a spray of red, it looked like she had been obliterated by the strike, however the red scattered in the air like smoke as she reappeared next to him, reaching up to whisper into his ear,
"Well well.. Aren't you on fire..?" She questioned. The man looked at her briefly before he noticed his shoulder was alight. He reached over to it quickly to try and bat at the flames before he found the flames beginning to spread and course over his body. Soon he had dropped his sword and was dancing around on the spot, beating at himself, screaming in terror and pain as flames licked his body.

He continued to dance away from Ixera, for to anyone else, it would have looked like he was trying to hit imaginary things off his body, though the terror in his voice was real enough as she looked at the other two. She pointed at another man that was closer between two of his friends, her finger waggling gently,
"Be careful, dear! You have monsters on either side of you!" She warned, though she smiled as the man looked to his left first. What should have been an ally was some hideous creature. He turned again, his other ally was gone,another beast in his place too. He screamed and charged one, striking his ally down before turning towards the other, blade readied.

Ixera grinned again, in their rush, the adrenaline had pumped the morning mist through their system. The weak of will were particularly susceptible to this poison. She rested a hand on her hip and raised her other to smoothly run it over the top of her hair, an almost mocking gesture, at least until she spotted the golem with the blades,
"Marvelous.. Fire enchanted onto a blade for a titan.. Whoever managed this feat.." She shifted only slightly, moving her spar air up and holding it out to the golem that had prepared itself. She turned her hand up, curled all of her fingers closed gently then motioned for the golem to approach with no more than her index finger, once more grinning broadly, "Come, little toy."

"That bitch.. She's mocking us..!" Benoit growled, prepared to moved forward, but instead Kain grabbed him by the shoulder. Benoit wasn't level headed enough to fight some-one like this,
"Wait," He stated simply, though he knew he wouldn't be able to stop both Veila and Benoit. He believed it was better to let the latter go forward, he stared aside at Benoit again, "She is mocking us because she is not an easy target. She has an advantage unknown to us. Perhaps several. It merely took her speaking and pointing at our men to stop them." He wanted to add that if she took control of Benoit in the same way, there would be serious problems, but that would likely only have riled the other pilot up even more.
