Koishi let out a breath and dropped the hardened shield when the last butcher started to fall, leaving Ted none the wiser. She was also seriously considering digging one of the bones out of the butchers to see if it was any good but thought better of it when Ted approached her. It would no doubt disturb him to see her eating raw flesh and she didn't want to discourage him at this point. He was in such a good mood she couldn't help but lose a good bit of her worry to it.

She paused to let Ted explore the laboratory, drifting behind him, rather fascinated herself by all the colorful bubbling potions. "Hmm Maybe?" She took the thermos from Ted, blowing on it. "Youkai don't get sick or poisoned easily."

She drifted up behind Ted and peeked over his shoulder at the big statue. She didn't know what it was, or what it did. Only that it was in the way. She frowned a little bit, blowing on the brew again. Still too hot. She pouted a little and capped it, seemingly unconcerned with the large stone statue in their way.

"I don't understand why every room needs to have an enemy like that. But it's made of stone so it should break to something that explodes." Vines were already starting to creep up from the floor toward the statue. She didn't want to get close to it either to summon her roses more directly.
