Emmeranne nodded along as Rei began to give a very basic rundown on the jobs before she was interrupted by the strange woman returning in a rather disheveled state. She felt for the bracelet hidden under her sleeve, fully expecting it to react in much the same way as earlier. Instead it felt warm, almost hot to the touch. Peculiar.

The fact that she already had something designed to prevent that very situation from happening on her head made it that much worse.
