The fox freezes in place a moment, fur on the back of her neck rising, as the smoke flows in around her.  But then...it starts materializing into a human?  A girl?  Her eyes widen as the girl's appearance does indeed cause her to begin salivating, still frozen in place as a subconscious battle is fought in her mind.  Almost instantly that's over and she grimaces at the human.  With the supernatural hunger and her being so delicious it's a shame that her being smoke is unappetizing.  *But what if she isn't just smoke..?* she mumbles in her thoughts.  Her hunger - and the continually frustrating knowledge that she had had to give up her meal because of a promise - prompts a hopeful reply to the girl.  "I'm in no rush.  Follow me out of this chamber and I'll do just that," she says, closing her hand around the scepter.  She almost doesn't hear the voices echoing down the hallway.  Her companions are finally joining her.
