(S9/Hound/Ant) Antoinette smiles down at Maria warmly. "We did indeed," she says simply. "We defeated the Slave Knight. We persevered together!  But for now, you still need rest."

She carries Maria over to their corner and lays her down on a resting bench. As the patrons continue cheering, Thomas leads the girls down the side of the stands to go meet them, while Lucida tugs Marcus along, clutching his hand. She explains enthusiastically to Sun-Mi as they go.

"You should've seen it! It was so fast, and Antoinette leapt over the sword, and, and, did this, this thing, where she batted the sword away---"  She swings a fist, narrowly avoiding Lilrava, "And she rolled, and was all like, like, HIYAAooop...!"

Inexplicably, Lucida loses her balance and nearly falls into Marcus, who catches her.

Thomas likewise scoops Lilrava out of the way of Lucida's swinging tail. "Lucida, let's tone it down so we won't get mistaken for combatants..." he says, exasperation creeping into his voice.
