Maki began to allow her lips to fly apart again when the half-beast, blue eyed and blue haired girl went tumbling back into some unexpecting victim, who fell down from the wieght of the girl.

"Reen, are you okay?" Maki asked as she rushed over. "Ah, who is this?"

"Maki, be careful," Lun whispered suddenly into Maki's ear, making her eyes widen a bit from surprise. "This young man is from the Water Kingdom, and appears to be a fierce fighter. If you are not always on your guard at the Royal Rumble, even your friends may become your enemy. That goes for Reen too! If you appear weak infront of any of these people, you will be taken down in a heatbeat."

"Ah, I just came here to view the fighting, not take a part of it," Maki stated a bit too loudly, so that the two could hear her, yet she did not mean to moan so loudly. "I really do not believe in true strength, because all those that win get too cocky. Still, I guess I will have to defend myself if, and only IF, I have to."

Then she turned to the silver heard and icy blue eyed man, who had thrown Reen off his back and was aiming his spear at her.

"Hey, she has not even done anything to you!" Maki yelled as she flung her arms out, as though protecting Reen from harm by doing so. "If she attacked you, I could understand, but why don't you try exchanging names and become allies?"

"Maki," Lun whispered into Maki's ear again. "This is the Royal Rumble, as in, no allies. It is to decide the top ten. Even if they help each other to the top, they will edventually have to battle each other."

"Yeah, but, well..." Maki starred at the ground, then at the gaps below, which Reen created. "Reen seems to be untroubled by batttling, so I assume that this is common. I don't know...I guess it is expected if you want to win. I guess I cannot do anything. After all, this is the day everyone was waiting for."

She noticed the man still held his weapon at Reen, as though Maki was not present. At this, Maki took a deep breath and began to play a soothing melody, so her nerves would calm.

"I guess if they want to fight, then they should," Maki thought with closed eyes. "I just...need to...calm down. Still...if he tries to...no, this tournament is not about...killing..."
