(S9/Scorn/Imperia/Lil/Sun) Thomas doesn't immediately reply to Lilrava, but instead turns and looks back out the window. He turns back.

"Don't worry about that, Lil. Just promise me that you'll---"

The door to the small clinic bursts open. Regina, tense with anger strides in with Sun-Mi and Aurum in tow. Letting go of the girls' hands, she marches up to Thomas.

"Well?" She says, putting her hands on her hips. "What do we do now?"

Thomas narrows his eyes, taken aback. "...What? What do you mean by that?"

"It was a rhetorical question, Thomas," Regina snips. "I'll tell you what we're going to do. You're going to evacuate whoever you can off of that field, and I'm going to go down there and talk some sense into Tirush."

"Absolutely not!" Thomas' voice edges on a yell. "Regina, you heard her call. She's made a mark! She's going to turn that field into a lake of fire until she---"

"Oh, hells no!" She snaps back. "You think I'm going to let Armata get away with what he did? No! I'll be getting on his case, and you better believe it. But I'm NOT going to have my wife throw down like some...some prize fighter with an axe to grind!"

Thomas' expression becomes even, almost neutral at the mention of Armata's name. "...Regina, what did Armata do?"

"Almost killed one of the opposition." Regina folds her arms. "Stopped the fire, but he threw the fireball."

Thomas says nothing, but exhales slowly and pinches the bridge of his nose. His mind wanders to his liquor cabinet at home, and how well-stocked he hopes it is.

Aurum looks over to Kioshi, her Amethyst eyes full of fear. She says nothing, but Kioshi can see that she is trying hard not to show her trepidation.

Imperia, leaving to find Thomas, eventually sees Regina on another side street. She sees her go into what she now recognizes as the clinic, and her Vampiric hearing picks up the sounds of the argument inside.
