"You got really worked up with bursts of shocks and lights. It's not good to do that and its hard to talk to someone like that so I stopped it. My powers make people feel strange though so I've been trying not to use them too much. I'm sorry." And she really did mean that.

Koishi visibly tensed as they stepped into the next room. Yes she could see their prize on the far end, but the creatures guarding it were not like the things they had previously fought. These things had a mind and a degree of cunning. She would have to be on her guard. But... what about...? She glanced at Ted, swallowing, a little nervous. The shield would only take a hit or two before breaking. To dedicate more of her power to it would compromise her own safety and if she was hurt or knocked out... Well then Ted would be unprotected.

"... Separating might work Mister Spades..." She was opening and closing her hands, sleeves shifting as she readied her tendrils. As much as it would be harder to protect Ted if they were separate, being together would mean she would have to protect two fronts simultaneously. "They are smarter than the others, so be really careful, okay?" Already she was drifting up into the air. It was a bit different this time, the little youkai sporting a very unsettling aura. It was clear she was more serious about this fight than the others.
