I pushed BB down into our synchro mode, drew my sword, and checked my system display. At the same time I looked around the room and noticed one glaring omission, Rin wasn't among our number.
"Did anyone see where Rin went?" I asked, my eyes wild.
"She… She was right here a moment ago," Fal replied, yellow coating her pupils. I quickly gathered that was the colour of fear, or if not fear, then certain dread. "I don't understand where she could have gone…"
"Yr'Arl, did you see her leave?" I asked.
The cat-like alien shook his head, "I also cannot sense her manna signature, as she is too weak to get a lock onto."
That made a lot of sense. She wasn't strong enough to get recruited into the Guard so her signature was probably non-existent. I could only hope that meant whoever had made her scream like that couldn't sense her either, and she'd managed to get away into some sort of hiding place.
