Andy and his two friends have just entered the Ignis kingdom, he glanced at the burning trees and stared for a bit.
"Wow...it does never stop burning..."

Jasmine's eyes widened with awe as she looked around. It was warm, it was...um...warm!
"It's...it's beautiful! In a way creepy, but it's lovely..." Jasmine said, watching the flames continuously 'eat' the trees, almost as though it were stuck on a constant loop. She made sure to look in Kara's direction to make sure the other girl was doing alright, yet.

Lana watched the three appear in the forest, hidden far in where the trees grew thicker and relied solely on the flames for light. They created dramatic lighting, which would bring out some of her features from within the grouping of the trees, yet they still half-concealed her in intense shadows.
She had to put in a lot of force for her cool grey eyes to soften, as it seemed to make her whole face change shape--she was now someone she couldn't recognize, someone who she used to be and long forgot about.
With this 'mask' in place, she waited patiently for them to step closer before she brought herself out of the trees to face them, a look of astonishment on her features as she looked directly at Kara and said, "...P-princess?"
Without any hesitation, she quickly followed it with a swooping bow before the dark-haired girl.
She remembered Zelos saying she only had one shot at this. This was it, the stage was lit, and the play was on.

Andy stepped back a bit of the sudden appearance of the girl, quickly regaining himself though, he stepped in front of Kara.
"Who the hell are you?" he asked brusquely.

This was already going great.
"That's exactly what I was just thinking about you," Lana said as she stood tall on her feet, looking over Andy and Jasmine, "...the both of you."
She looked at Andy, giving a fake, defensive glare at him as she said, "You better have not hurt her. You won't live if I find out you did anything to her." She brought her right hand across her hips, positioning it lightly on the handle of her longsword. She wouldn't draw it unless he attacked her, but she figured it helped add to the scene she was putting on.

"W-wait, we didn't do anything! She was lost and alone, so we took her along with us!" Jasmine spat defensively and looked at Andy, quite unsure what they should do. Whoever this woman was, she seemed quite peeved that Kara was alone with them.
She took the time to look the red-headed woman over, and she bit her lip. Something about her didn't seem right, but she wasn't going to say anything at the moment. She stuck close to Andy and even moreso Kara, just in case.

It took little energy to keep the air around herself a tolerable temperature, but still only walked at a brisk pace as to not overexert herself. You never knew when you could be attacked and might need that energy.
Kara blinked when the woman appeared and her obvious show of respect. She curtseyed back dispite Andy standing in front of her. "These people are my companions, may I ask who you are Miss?"

Lana's eyes widened slightly and she quickly brought her hand back and took another bow.
"Princess, you wouldn't know me. In your absence, my family was appointed to find, escort, and protect you the moment you awakened," Lana quickly said, "I left the second I heard, and I had to find you before they did."
She was kind of proud of herself, not knowing all the little details of the Ghiaccio Princess' 'awakening' but still being able to piece together what she thought was a good story.
She only had to keep it up.
She looked up at Andy with another glare and asked, "He is a companion, you say? Has he hurt you? Don't be afraid to tell me, I'll put him in his rightful place."

"Excuse me?" Andy glared, "You take care of me? Fat chance."
I don't buy this...something's not right...

Lana's eye twitched and she snapped, "Did you just call me fat, you little snot?!"
Whoa. Settle down, Lana. He wasn't giving her a good look and she wasn't going to make the situation better by freaking out.
"Yes, take care of you. You're talking to Lana Princel, one of the best well-trained warriors in all of...Ignis! And you've got the beak of someone allied with the Sumata, kid. Step aside and let that girl go, or you'll get trouble."
There, that should do it.

She tried to calm the situation by asking a question. "Sumata? Who is that?"
Andy and the other woman both began looking a bit hostile, best to try and get their minds off each other and find out more information...then he could kick her butt if things went bad...or even the other way around.

Andy grinned, "Yeah I said it, you fat little Sumata cow. Trucido and Xisa are more threating looking than you."
He drew his blade and pointed it at her. "You're not taking Kara, so back off b****."

"Who? I thought everyone knew of 'em," Lana said, blinking, "a group, a bunch of evil guys--they're up to no good. Killed my parents and my brother. I can't run the risk of them catching you, Princess. These are bad times."
Well hell--Zelos, if you're watching I at least hope you're laughing at this...though I'm sure you're not.
She gave a fiery glare at Andy, twitching again as she said, "Fat...cow?! Just who the effing hell do you think you are?!"
And with that, she drew her own blade.

Zelos stood off to the side, mearly observing the scene. He stuided the Princess, the Sage, and the Warrior.
That boy....there is something behind his aura that I recognize. Let's see if this aura shows in battle."

Jasmine grabbed at Kara's arm and tried to lead her away from Andy and Lana. "Come on, Miss Kara, I'm confused and not sure what exactly Andy's up to, but you have to believe that he's doing the right thing--which means we have to get out of the way."
She smiled, though, making sure her bag was hooked tight to her side and she said, "It'll be alright, though. I'll look after all of us."
