Maybe that's why she doesn't reply right away, doesn't dive immediately into the dismissive sort of things she might usually say. Even though Ange already knows - even the moment he's still saying it - what her answer is going to be. It's never been different.
Maybe she and her brother are a little more alike than she thought after all. ]
I know. [ Her tone still doesn't have a whole lot of emotion in it, but it dips into something a little more serious. It doesn't sound deadpan. ] But I don't want to turn back now. Maybe if I try using my more powerful magic it'll break through-- or, worse case scenario, I just rip out one of these loose planks and start hitting whatever is in there over the head with it.
[ Likely not a very succesful plan, given how tiny and thin Ange is in front of a trainer soldier like Claude, but it's not like she hasn't had to struggle for her life before. Ange knows how it's done.
And she's never been afraid of looking danger or even death in the eyes, anyway. ]
Just.. [ Now she does actually look a little more troubled. Her eyebrows slowly knit together into a frown. ] Promise you won't get too distracted with having to protect me in there. I'd be super annoyed if you got hurt just because of me. [ Annoyed. Of course. Clearly it's only that. ]
