(S9/Ant) As Sun-Mi rummages, Thomas' hand appears on hers, holding it still. She looks up at him and he furrows his brow, quickly shaking his head 'no.' He lets go as he returns his attention to the group.

"I'm afraid my tactics went askew the moment the flag was dropped," Antoinette chuckles self-deprecatingly, rubbing the back of her head. "But I suppose they always do. In the end, it worked out."

"I'll say it did!" Lucida gushes, her hands on her hips. "I've always read about how White Mages could focus their arcanum into a seeker bolt, but I always wanted to see it...in...practice..." Lucida, looking at Maria, squints her eyes and leans in a little, as if she's examining her.

"I noticed that your potion bag was compromised," Thomas says to Antoinette, not mentioning that her weight crushed it like a grape. He nods in a direction off to the side. "Do you want me to clean that up for you? So you can get ready for the next match, I mean?" He gives her a look.

Antoinette blinks in surprise. "Oh, no, my lord! You don't need to worry yourself on such things!  I can, um...that i-is..."

She turns beet red as she comes to understand that through the way he is staring at her he means something entirely different. "Er...y-yes, My Lord! If that is your wish, then I...um...shall not refuse." She trots off to a separate spot. Thomas rolls his eyes and follows her.

As he catches up to her, they have a whispered conversation. He seems to be trying to convince her of something, gesturing as she obviously shows signs of refusal. She finally acquiesces, showing great reluctance as they disappear behind an event tent.
