Amiko smiles, "I don't think it is as big a change as you think it will be, but maybe experiencing it will say more than any words of encouragement I could provide. For now, we could all use some sleep." Shifting to a soft tone like a mother would use with a child, "Mio, if you would like, you can sleep in my bed.""Huh... you did say that, now that I think about it. I didn't think much of it, but you literally saw all of my moves, so you were knew to keep out of range of my diffusion smoke." Shibo paused. "Makes me wish I had the know-how to do a fancy ranged attack. It's easy to run me around in circles, so I suck against people with a mix of mobility and traps." Shibo thought for a moment, before dismissing the topic as Mio was probably still shaken about the whole thing, going back to the topic at hand.
"So... I just need to watch people? That... that makes sense, actually. I've never thought of doing that because I always had the mentality of fighting an opponent where both people didn't have an idea what each other can do." Shibo mumbled. "Scouting brings a whole new equation into the system, though. I thought tactics had to be made up on the spot, but... now we'll have to do them before the fight even begins... *sigh*..." Shibo seemed a little disturbed by the amount of planning and thinking she'd have to do to actually contribute. She was good at making things up on the spot, but not good at pre-planning. The whole scouting business would be hard for her, but with people like Amiko at her side, she supposed it would be compensated.
...Ugh... nonetheless, Shibo still felt stupid about the whole situation now that it made more sense. How could she have missed the fact that Mio knew exactly what she was going to do? It made her want to hit her head against the wall. Amiko was doing her best to increase her observational skills, on the bright side, but still. She doubted if she could be the one coming up with elaborate plans and making tons of notes, and when it came to the fighting, she was trained to protect and duel. Could she really be useful in a 3v3 situation?
Still acting somewhat bashful around specifically Amiko, "I... I would. I mean, could I?"
Squeezing her hand playfully, "Of course silly."
Still seemingly in bliss, the group arrives home to Marcy, who had been waiting out front the entire time. Its the first time you've seen her in her natural form She looked relieved to see that everyone had made it back safely, "Welcome home."
Amiko bows her head respectfully in Marcy's direction, "I didn't worry you too much did I?"
"Aside from being unable to sleep, I'm surprisingly used to you vanishing without a word."
Lifting her head, "Probably a bad habit of mine. Are you planning to sleep here too? You know I'm already back in shape, right?"
Marcy leans back, still engaging in this banter that everyone already knew was more about ritual that actual persuasion. "Would you have me anyway?"
"Naturally. We were just heading to bed. I have no idea how we are going to fit 4 girls in just a small bed and a couch, but I'm sure we'll figure something out."
