It was a bluff. Ellie was absolutely sure of that. No one would threaten to level an entire town for the sake of one pitiful Moogle, particularly if it meant evaporating that Moogle in the process. She stayed crouched where she was, watching the proceedings with a frown.
The problem was, she doubted any of these Heroes could afford to call that kind of bluff. Supposing it was actually true, Ellie was sure they wouldn't endanger the townsfolk for the sake of their mission. All of them would surely survive (in a manner of speaking, anyway, if they were returned as crystals), but no one else would.
She made a quiet chuff of disgust, rolling the hilt of a dagger between her fingers. Her abilities may have been slightly diminished, but truth be told, she almost felt better for it. More natural, really. Shaking her head, she held her tongue. Ellie had only come as support, not to usurp Kidd's leadership. The call was ultimately hers to make.
