Anise nodded her head to the words that Jade was telling her. Yes, she should keep Ion safe, but she would really like a piece of that Gloomietta! Always causing them trouble and endangering Ion. She stayed back as the Colonel moved forward. She took a few good steps away, prepared to use Tokunaga if the time called her to protect Ion and herself.

Then she saw him, the Commandant coming through towards them. The door bolted opened almost instantly and he was in the field. Yeah, if anyone could stop Arietta, it had to be the Commandant. He was the only one she listened to besides Ion. Anise let out a surprise gasp when Van leaped completely into the field and she saw a rather injured Guy.

She didn't call out to the blond, because that would further reveal their spot in the shadows, and the possible chance that Arietta would really attack them instead of Guy if they saw them.
