Merri/Kiyoko/Siri
Moments ago, the café had been filled with laughter and conversation; now the joy had turned to screaming, panicking, patrons standing up to run to the exits. Some of them dashed outside; others, seeing the threat of the Elemental, looked around them as if for a magical escape route, any sign that nothing was real and everything would be all right.
Ran snatched up Merri's communicator in time to see a message from ToMa make the screen light up. The Sage was behind the attack, and her father was heading to confront her. She would have to go over there—but first, she had things to do.
"Stay calm!" she yelled above the din of the café. Her voice rang with a tone of command, and the crowd quieted, looked for the source of the shout; their gazes found her and latched on, hungry for any shed of hope she could provide. It was a desire she knew well. And so she stood straighter, put more steel into her voice, took command. "It is safer inside the café. Once the monster outside is eliminated, we will help you evacuate. Keep a cool head!"
With those words, she walked out of the café; a steady walk, strong, resilient, seeking to inspire confidence. Once she saw that it was an Earth elemental, however, she knew most of her magicks would be of no use—and what would help was too advanced to be anything but the result of formal training.
A civilian with only a little education in magic, however, would not know that. And so she came to stand beside Merri, and started muttering the incantation for Fire—the words garbled just enough that it would indicate a low level of proficiency, but not enough to mess up the spell. The burst of flame hit the Elemental, and did no damage, as expected.
"No effect," she breathed out, a dismayed look on her face. "Why won't it do anything?"
Her spells did not need to damage the thing, however. Merri and the other girl seemed quite capable on their own, with their Wind-elemental spells. Her intervention would not be necessary at all.
