[ Ace's eyes narrow, the boy feeling like he hasn’t able to get his message across. It was never an invitation to fight, merely a warning of what might come. ]
As long as we're here, I’m one of these cadets.
[ He directs his words at Kaji before turning to Sephiroth. ]
None, if we manage to keep a low profile. I don't have to explain why a group of strangers emerging from a place of such importance could raise suspicion, do I? I just want to ensure there is no misunderstanding.
[ For that very reason he decides to make a quick check of his own, belatedly noticing the change in his own attire. His Summoner robes have been replaced with a black uniform uniform - tattered and missing its mantle, but undoubtedly the same one he used to wear. He doesn't have to search for long to find a deck of cards resting in its rightful place. It all leaves the matter of his skills. Relying on the power of Jobs, he's nearly forgotten the sense of freedom he once had as a cadet, and the strength that came so naturally as a result of years of practice... is it still even there?
Before that, there's still one question left unanswered. ]
About that...-
[ The portal activates with a flash, cutting his response short. The Heroes will then find themselves standing in one end of a short corridor. Once again, there isn't any windows in the room, so the only sources of light are crimson lamps lined up along the walls. By the look of things, the corridor's sole purpose is linking the portal to another chamber - aside from a set of heavy doors situated up ahead, there doesn't seem to be any other way out.
Most importantly, the Heroes aren't completely alone in there, either. Before any of them manages to as much as make a step forward, the doors begin to open with a creaking sound. Rather than burst their way in, the person on the other side certainly takes their time... it might give the group enough time to prepare for whatever comes next.
As if that wasn't enough, the movement comes to a halt before the doors are even halfway open. The creature which then slips through should seem familiar enough to those who have held the bestiary at least once. ]
