Lin stares at Kenzie, seeming a bit unable to tell her the win is in an uncertain edge. "Yes... it may or may not, have costed Jeiel this match..." the Oblation said in worry to Spiga and Micah. She looks on. Although... if it hadn't been for everyone...

..... Jeiel-kun would have been close to killing himself. Ojo swallows as she thought the same as Lin. She then turns to Baph-chan. "Whatever do you mean, Baph-san?" She asks in connection to Cur-chan's query.

Hearing Repter complain, Sebyl snickers a bit and yells an abrupt "SORRY!" while waving at him and Ayu. Then, seeing the little thing that happened to the two she smiles secretly. "Oh... love's blossoming even here..."

Silence had overcome both Jeiel and Le'ej at the end of the battle. There was nothing else passing their lips as both of them were already stricken by exhaustion. Letting go of Cybele for a bit, Jeiel glanced at the dramatic growth of the sign of Senev's Paths in both his hands. He was to take a step forward, when he doubled over and nearly found himself falling to the floor -- until a pair of furry paws caught him by the back. Jeiel looks over to see the beaming face of Ersha.

"Good work." Nunna mewed nuzzling her cheeks against Jeiel's. Jeiel smiled and patted her head. The Paths were already gathered around him, giving him worrisome expressions. He rubbved his eyes and tried to make out the figures of the Queens in spite of the loss of his normal vision. "Calm down everyone...... I'm not dead yet." Jeiel musters a faint grin

As Jeiel looked on over to Le'ej's side, he could see the man already crowded by the Mavens. Thanks to Repter and Ayu he was healing well, and Le'ej saw fit to nod in recognition of their actions.

And funny enough...they were making him flushed as they fussed over him. Which, was something Jeiel didn't expect.

"Master? Are you alright? Do you require licking to treat your wounds."

"Noira, that is not necessa - GAAAH! NOIRA!!"

"Sheesh... Noira, keep it calm. You're more a dog than me."

"No one asked for your input, Lyonna."

Le'ej directs his attention to the Houri. "Elizbeth... why are you crying? You fought well." He said. Elizbeth looked to him with moist eyes. "B-BUT you're injured! Had I not transformed a minute too soon, your damage would've ---"

Le'ej places his hands on Elizbeth and moves it to her cheeks. "In a battle...mistakes are unavoidable. Even I make mistakes in the worst of times.... dry your tears. And snot."

"H-H--Hai!"

Vasti suddenly grabs his shoulder. "Whoa there. How about you await the party's decision before you chip in, bub?" He said with asmile, pulling him back with ease.

Le'ej s stands up and turns slightly to Jeiel. "Apparently.... you are not the only one to breach the rules of the duel." He gives a contemptuous gaze at the Dark Matter named Carmina whose hands were fidgeting in front. "Carmina." He utters her name. As if struck in alarm she bows in repetition. "I'm sorry! I'M SORRY! I was too scared on the outcome of this battle so I told Heiki to cast empowerment runes "

Be as it may..." Le'ej wipes the underside of his arms and to the surprise of Jeiel and company, plastic-like runes of black sheen fall out. "You have proved well in battle.... Jeiel Yozama. Except.... you were almost willing to throw your life merely to convince me to join you."

"EH?" Le'ej wears his fur coat and stares at them firmly. "If that was what you strove to make me understand.... then let it be so." He walks off to another set of closed doors.

"Rest. And later... I will be all ears."

The door closes with Jeiel sighing. "Still a wonder, that man."

Blances suddenly smells at the air. "I..... know that smell." She dashes off, prompting Lailani to run after her. She kicks the doors on the other side of the coliseum open. On the floor..where Xena, Pi're and an unconscious Ozma.

"XENA!!" Blances jumps in to hug her. Upon seeing the three Lailani screams. "PAPA!!!"
