Kid narrowed his eyes as Setsuna spoke. He didn't even feel her presence...he hated not being able to. If he couldn't, that was a disadvantage in fights. Which he didn't intend on getting in, but if she was challanging him, he wouldn't even think of backing down. He was not afraid of her, although it was clear that Kuu was. Setsuna had driven fear down into her core, filling her soul.
That was disgusting of her. How...how sadistic.
He looked over at Setsuna with a cold gaze, not phased. "Try it, Setsuna. If that's the way to bring Kuu back to you, just try it. It's obviously not the way to go about doing so." He scoffed, not allowing himself to fill with rage. No..he wouldn't do that. Especially in plain sight here, where one of Cromias subordinants could come back after him in a split second. Very likely, but he wasn't going to expect it just yet.

Maka very narrowly avoided the punch, a frown on her face as she swung Soul down at Kilik. She didn't know if she'd hit or not-he was a good Meister, and pretty fast with dodging. She wanted to win, but had been faced with a difficult opponent. If she were fighting Ox or something, it'd be a bit easier for her.
Liz and Kim kept avoiding each other, Liz's skin feeling warmer by each blow of fire.
Kim had barely been hit by one of the bullets, but it still stung badly.

Cromia stormed out of her room, in a rage. He was talking to her, and had completely disobeyed everything she had told him! She kept moving down the hall, ignoring the head dips and the like. She'd go get Degan to retreive him. This was not to be tolerated. He'd be lucky if he would ever be going back alone.
