Rauko makes sure to pay special attention to everything the purple-haired woman says, even if it is a bit disturbing; after all, the more she knows about the girl's "master," the better a chance she'll have of making sense of everything that's happened over the course of the night. Unfortunately, though, the brief respite seems to be drawing to a close, and Vio gets herself back up and on her feet.<br/><br/>And even though Rauko's stomach churns at the sight of her "wife's" ruined nethers, the Infiltrator quickly realizes she's going to have to get up too.<br/><br/>Granted, it's not easy... but after a few tottering, anxious moments, Rauko rises to her feet behind the purple-haired girl. Sure, she's pantsless and weaponless. And she really has no clue about the Violator's ultimate plans and intentions. But she can't let the Anathema kill a whole caravan full of people; like Su-Li said, she was duty-bound to protect the mortals from the insane woman's "attentions."<br/><br/>"Urgh." Not exactly a heroic opening line, but Rauko forces herself forward, and lays a hand on the other woman's shoulder. "You can't kill those people, Vio. I won't... I won't let you."
