[ She's of two minds about what these newcomers tell her. Her initial and kneejerk reaction is to demand more of an explanation β for all that she's known to improvise in the field and leap without thinking when the situation calls for it, she didn't survive the war on being reckless. She wants to say she isn't moving a bloody inch in any direction until they've laid out precisely what they have to do and precisely how they plan on carrying it out.
But just as she draws breath to say it, she cuts herself off. How long have Fitz and Markus been trapped here? Do they have time to waste? She has a dozen questions, chief of all what Sora means by recovering their hearts. He's right, it doesn't make sense, even if he speaks with such surety. She's a pragmatic woman, even when her work has her dealing with the often unexplainable. Putting her faith in something she doesn't understand with people she's just met is asking a lot; because it isn't just her faith in question, it's her friends' lives.
But if she dallies any longer, then she'll just endanger them even more. Surely they ought to do whatever they can to bring them home? No man left behind. ]
Very well. [ She places her hand in Riku's, heedless of the bond (electric, iron determination on her end). She isn't afraid of the unknown and never has been. It's losing the people closest to her that's crippling. ] Whatever it takes.
