Kianne couldn't stop the corner of her mouth creeping up into a small smile as Master Orion told Akihiro that he was a man, and that there was no need to cry. She remembered that Luca had cried on a number of occasions, though it had been related to death of family members and such - so it was not unlike this situation. She understood that Orion had been a mother-figure for Akihiro, and so could forgive him for being upset. He had to stay strong though, or their mission would surely fail. Nobody would forgive them if they failed.

At the thought of failure, it was as if Orion had read her mind, speaking of only bumps in the road. She looked up at the Master, taking in her words and nodding once as they were told that they were the pillars of light. So much responsibility was unnerving, but she was prepared to take the weight. Her attention turned as Akihiro addressed her, turning to him with the transportation crystal in hand. She nodded again,
"As ready as we're ever going to be," She said quietly as she offered Akihiro her hand that held the crystal. They needed contact with eachother to be able to transport together. The crystal began to glow with light as it anticipated Akihiro's touch, burning bright with energy as it prepared to throw them into a world tainted by darkness.
