Ashelia rolled her eyes, extinguishing the lightning in her hand. Ethers or not, she should save her energy. She threw a sharp look at Henry. "Enough. There is a time for such jests, and it is not now."

She turned her attention to Sparks, narrowing her eyebrows. "Marshal, I like it not, but if there is any chance this Kalki knows something we do not..." Ashelia approached Sparks, standing behind him, "...and I do not think I need to tell you, there is much and more we do not know. The decision is yours, but I am ready, whatever happens." Ashelia drew her sword, giving him a small nod of encouragement. "I can assure you we have both faced worse than these wax statues." Well of course she's assuming they'll come alive - or activate, or whatever - and attack them.
