(S9/Mike/Ant/Lil) "YYYEEEAAAAHHHH!" Lucida squeals as she hops up and down, using her tail as a sort of coil. Thomas takes a long, deep breath, letting it out slowly as he keeps his eyes closed. His expression is complicated, but he shows clear signs of relief. "Come on, let's go see her before the next match." He takes Lilrava's hand and leads them out of the stands.

As Antoinette leaves the arena with Rebecca and Maria, they stop in the staging area, where Thomas' group comes to meet them. Thomas walks up while Lucida slides forward so fast her rear is in danger of overtaking her front.

"Antoinette, you were amazing!" Lucida grabs and hugs Antoinette, who kneels to meet her. Lu pulls back, looking at all of them. "You all were! That was incredible!"

"I'm glad you think so, although it wasn't just my efforts alone." Antoinette says with a smile. She looks up at Thomas shyly, averting her eyes and blushing when she sees him smiling at her.

Thomas doesn't say anything at first. He noticed her shallow breathing, and how she winced when Lucida hugged her.
