Carousa smiled softly at Albi. The Holsatur, on the other hand, can say with much certainty that the distrust she felt towards Albi had already gone down the drain. The Scarecrows were also in the same page... but then they smell something in the settling air.
Scarecrow 1 : ... what is it?
Screcrow 2 : It... smells like.... ash...
Albi smells it too. And it was getting strong. To a point it was becoming a stench...
Demeter hands Demeter a small.. flower-shaped trinklet and closes it in her hand, She gazes at the Lilim tenderly. "That charm... will wilt in color when danger looms... and a dark heart is near. Keep it close. It will protect you...and everyone with you."
Elphabi and Glinda all look at this in astonishment. All the same, they pay formal respects to the goddess with a bow. "Thank you. Our respects... to the deity of the land."
Nardu and Repter make quick work of the guards, instantly putting them to sleep. Azkadia and Anastasia nod as they motion forward. Ritzie, on the other hand, tugs at both Nardu and Repter's sleeves.

There was a clatter of fallen silverware. It was Dolche. Standing a distance away.... shocked. "Wh... what are you all doing??" She asks, terrified.
