video — un: starburst.

( Hello, Eastbounders.

Once again, a dynamic and alarming duo greets you, with no better news than last time.

In fact, it doesn't seem to be an announcement at all.

The first thing the jostled communicator picks up is... a sound. Guttural, croaked, agonising. It belongs to Lady Arabella, throwing herself upon what becomes quite obviously Wrath's frame. Her mouth opens wider, and wider still, as though she might want to swallow him whole.

The sound becomes a scream, unending.

Wrath's golden gaze stares at Arabella like one might survey a mildly interesting change in the scenery — his own expression impassive as her grip tears the buttons from his shirt.

His companion, on the other hand, reacts a bit more angrily, Emilia's initial concern shifting into something more vicious. As Arabella attempts to latch on to Wrath however she can, Emilia strikes back at her, prepared for a fight. Except it never quite comes: no sooner Arabella is thrown off, she stops,

backpedaling into the communicator that turns the video black.

NOTE: Again, the second link leads to Grudge-y things. The video is short and choppy and hectic, taking place not long after the assassination attempt on Arabella. Wrath and Emilia helped in the rescue efforts and were, uh, rewarded. For more details, feel free to read here.

Nothing at all. I agree it was... curious, strange. It's unclear what exactly the attack intended to do - kill, maim, injure? ( Would she have attempted to bite him if she had gotten that far?

The truth is if Emilia wasn't there he likely would have allowed her attempt if only to see what it is she intended on doing. )

Or something else entirely. [ He doesn't trust her, but of anyone, Wrath would be able to handle the situation. Even if he doesn't like it. ]

Let me know when you go back.

I will.

Are you worried she will attempt the same action again? ( Is Five worried about Wrath? Strange. Wrath is not entirely used to that. ) I don't believe I was ever in any danger if that helps.

( Likely not because Wrath has difficulty seeing that this world makes him more vulnerable than his own. )

[ Of course he's not worried, certainly not to the extent that he needs reassurance. It's just that as much as he'd like to assume Wrath is immune to any kind of magic soul-sucking attack, there's a non-zero chance that this could be one of the few times he isn't. ]

I'm interested in hearing what comes out of it, especially if it's related to the earlier attack. [ Not a lie. ] If she tries it again and you're forced to take care of her, you might end up helping the assassins.
