Miia was frightened.

It wasn't a good feeling. For every scary thing that had happened to her since coming to Japan, none had truly rendered her as afraid as being boxed into a small room, a synthetic voice telling her she couldn't go home. At first she had thought she was being deported, and for what crime she didn't know. Ms. Smith surely would have come for her if that was the case, and her Darling would have fought for her, but as much as she called out...

As much as she called out, or banged her fists on the door, or beat her tail against the floor, Darling didn't come. Her love wasn't rescuing her in a blaze of gallant glory as he had when Draco had forced their advances on her, or when that terrible couple had harassed her, or when she had nearly drowned in Mero's pool.

He wasn't coming. He had to come for her, but he wasn't.

If she hadn't believed in him so strongly, it would have felt like a betrayal.

The most frustrating part was knowing the other girls were with him somewhere. Papi and her childish charm, Centorea and her quiet nobility, Mero and her subtle sensuality. They were with him and she wasn't, and if she wasn't there he may pick one of them as his bride. It made her teeth bare and her scales itch at the thought. She loved him the most, she was his first guest, she was the one who deserved to marry him.

By the time the door opened she had worked herself up into such a jealous frenzy that she nearly flew from her little prison, ignoring the little bits of machinery she had been instructed to take. She slid down corridors, thumped her tail in irritation over every second that passed in the elevator, and when the door slid open she all but bulleted down the next hallway, careless of where she was going.

No matter what that stupid voice said, she needed to find her Darling. And she needed to find him now.

[Miia has arrived, but is in some pretty strong denial. Find her anywhere on the station, frantically searching for the love of her life.]

Marie considered herself to be pretty versed in the strange, having attended a high school with aliens and mutants, surviving attacks of angry aliens, dinosaurs, zombies and a bucket load of nasty spells. But that had been years ago, and a human being drops a habit as quickly as they pick one up.

So when a large snake..thing past her in the hallways, all she did was yelp in unflattering surprise.

She couldn't find her Darling anywhere. She couldn't see, smell, or hear him, or any of the girls, or even any other recognizable Liminal as far as she could tell. Every corridor was new and strange and Darling still frighteningly out of sight, which only fueled her desperation to find him. For all she knew he could be selecting his bride at that very moment, that he wouldn't or couldn't wait for her, and she was stuck far away as some unworthy wretch took him as her husband.

Honestly, she couldn't stand for that.

So intent on finding him as she was, she almost didn't notice the young woman until she heard a yell. it was the first time since leaving that awful room that she took notice of anything outside of her urgency, and the squawk of surprise startled a similar one from herself as she whirled. "What," she blinked, clutching her hands to her chest and coiling herself tightly, scales rippling and gleaming. "Why are you yelling?"

The giant python cobra whatever woman thing talked. Talked to her, and Marie was suddenly regretting a lot of things in life. Most present on that list: waking up this morning and leaving her room.

"I'm sorry." She removed her gloves with her hands behind her back, although she wasn't necessarily eager to experience if she could even do something to this creature. "S-surprise. Just yelling in surprise, hon. There's nothing wrong here."
