The cries from inside the tent instantly sent Marona into alert. What was happening? She would have followed Flonne inside, but without Ash what could she do? She could heal a bit and... well that was really about it. Marona hated to not be able to help.

Before she could look to Jintetsu to see what he wanted to do her attentioned was distracted as the girl who introduced herself as Alice had seemed to... summon something. A... phantom? Marona's eyes grew wide. She wasn't sure, but the man that appeared didn't seem alive to her, that much was certain. But Marona was baffled, he was solid, but she'd seen no object for Alice to have confined him into. Was it like Ash who could make himself confined as long as she was nearby?

All these questions filled the chroma's head, but for now she didn't have time for answers. He was giving her a bad feeling, so when Jintetsu grabbed her hand, she very willingly allowed herself to be led off. In fact she was right beside him on this one.

Hopefully Flonne would be okay. Marona truly hoped so. She would have to try to communicate with her later.

((Okay, Jintetsu and Marona are out of thread now. :) ))
