She didn't understand but didn't think she needed to; they were benevolent, whatever they meant. <br/><br/>While she listened, she observed a figure in her mind's eye. There was something inside of her responding to the unfamiliar voice, its caedence calling forth an entity long buried inside her subconscious. Kagami reached out to it mentally, but then was distracted by a warm feeling creeping over her whole body. It was so relaxing, she began to feel tendrils of lethargy washing over her...and then, like someone splashing cold water over her she shot straight up...<br/><br/>...and painfully collided skulls with another person. <br/><br/>"Ah!" Kagami cried out, more in surprise than anything else. "Owww! I'm so sorry, are you--" She an opened an eye and thought for a split second she saw another man beside the redhead, with a plague mask or something over his face. She blinked again and the man hadn't disappeared, so she pretended to ignore it, figuring she had just suffered a minor concussion when she fell, and was hallucinating.<br/><br/>"Are you okay?" She finished, eyeing the stranger with concern and a mite of embarrassment. Over his shoulder, Kagami caught sight of a large man who's back had large bat-like wings sprouting from near his shoulder-blades. Her eyes widened when she saw another male, smaller, almost identical to the first, only with shorter raven hair.<br/><br/><em>'The boy!'</em> She thought, and clamored to her feet in a mix of adrenaline, excitement and anger.</span></span>
