Preparations (Yeligar, Prophet, Jasmine, and Kara)

[glitters]

"Andy..." Jasmine spoke softly and tried to smile, though the look in her eyes gave her away; she was concerned.

"Miss Prophet says we'll meet someone new to help, and Mr. Yeligar says there are to be no battles."

'I don't know why I feel like this...'

Jasmine tilted her head to the side, a little more of a convincing smile now showing itself on her face. "No picking fights, right? And no paranoid 'eyes always on him' kind of stuff. I know you think it sounds silly and outrageous, but I...believe we'll be fine. I won't be scared because if something goes wrong, I believe you'll be there. You believe in me, too, right?"

Something seemed to change in Jasmine's overall personality, then. Andy Jammer had met the girl as an unexperienced, unprepared, and scared sage who was, at times, unsure of her own abilities. He unintentionally forced her to focus, and under pressure tested her every ounce of untouched knowledge she had. For them both to survive, she had to put to use even things that she had barely studied in the past.
The Jasmine Loque standing before him now was a girl who felt like, in such a short period of time, had gone through Hell and back again. But now she knew what she had to do, and where she may not always be fully prepared, she was still actively ready to deal with whatever was going to come his, her's, and Kara's way.

She stood with an odd confidence, something that was lacking earlier. Her eyes now flared an amazing determination in them.

'...I'm going to look after you.'

[Andy Jammer]

Andy opened his mouth several times before going into a frown and crossing his arms, "Whatever."

It was his sign of reluctant defeat, he wasn't happy with the fact he couldn't fight the Sumata, but he really didn't have a reason to argue with her anyway.

[Kara Samsra]

"Well I think it's a great opportunity to get a good evaluation of the Sumatas. As they say, keep your friends close and enemies even closer." Kara said her statement with a sort of dignity and refinement, yet again a cause of drilling that people of her descent should be confident in everything.

[Yeligar Maelstrom]

"Yep, That is basically the point of it." Yeligar said "So until the party, try to stay near Crepusculum until the party." He walked out of the cave and lit a cigar and sat on a small rock outside of the door.

[glitters]

Jasmine watched Andy fumble for something to retort with, and when he 'admitted defeat' she couldn't help but grin. "I'll replace that with 'Yes, Jas, I believe in you, too--yes, we will be just fine! Hey, Jas, It'll be so fine I'll show you how great I dance, too!'" she couldn't help but giggle a little as she said it, and looked at Kara, "right, Kara? You heard it all."

This made her feel only a little better about having to hang around in what would be, virtually, her mother's reach for the next month or so.

[Andy Jammer]

"...Look forward to it," he said through gritted teeth.

Man I'm in soooo much trouble.

[Profeta]

"Relax, Andy, you are going to be fine at the ball, you more than likely going to stand around and socializing with like 2 people, and giving an evil glare to Zelos once in a while, then some girl will pull you you from the side, and then force to dance, you will be awful at first even though you would have a month of practice. But then you will get into the groove, and then you will be happy that you came." The Prophet said with a grin. She walked over and grabbed a container of water.

[Andy Jammer]

Andy paused by the all stuff she said and blinked, "Um...what?"

[glitters]

"She says you're going to have fun, Andy," Jasmine cut in, grinning a little, "and that's all that matters, right?"

Though really, Jasmine was kind of spooked at how much of a...detailed event the Prophet gave.

[Profeta]

"Yea, basically." The Prophet said. She took a sip of water, and then place the container back. " So, Kara, what do you think of this plan? Do you think it will work? I like to hear input from everyone. And yes, Yeligar, I will be going."

[Andy Jammer]

"...Fine whatever," Andy replied, crossing his arms. "If I have to."

[Yeligar Maelstrom]

"That is the spirit!" Yeligar said "because, you will not win an argument with 3 women. I know that for a fact..." he took a drag on his cigarette.

[Kara Samsra]

"I think it's perfect. But if it reassures you andy I can give you a few quick lessons on basic steps and etiquette before the ball." She shrugged and smiled at the frowning redhead.

[Profeta]

"I think that Andy will love to do that, We can even start right now, I am making dinner and it will not be ready for another hour, so you and Andy, will have time to work on it" She said smiling, as she walked off.

[Andy Jammer]

"Lessons?" Andy blinked, more lessons on top of lessons? He looked around to make sure no one was looking before speaking. "Do you think I need them...?"
