Magical Warriors of Silvatica

Robin didn't say anything, because she didn't know what she wanted to do at this point. She turned to see if Padma was alright, but Padma was no longer outside with them. She had disappeared inside. "Oh dear," murmured Robin with a concerned look on her face. She turned and glared at Fantasia. "I'll come too," she said. "But only because there might be a chance to save Foo." Fantasia kept her smile internal as she nodded at all of them. "Excellent," she said. "Now we must convince the Righteous Rain!" She began to trot inside to find Padma.

Padma had gone up to the room, which they could tell from the sounds of music coming from within. Fantasia was about to enter, but Robin blocked her with her leg. She gestured to Maui, telling him to be the one to go in.

Padma's room was small, but she had been so grateful to have a room of her own even though she wouldn't have minded sharing with Sunny. But Robin had set them up both nicely with small rooms, each with a view out over the forest to the sea. Padma was sat on her bed, not looking out the window but down at a selection of photographs. They were of her, Robin, Sunny, and bunches of Robin's friends who she'd been introduced to. There was even one of Padma and Sunny hugging Robin's dad, who had happily taken both girls in. Padma was smiling as she looked at them, and smiled as she looked up at Maui.

Padma nodded as she put the photo she was holding down and gestured for Maui to come sit next to her. "I am living good life," she told him. "All this nice." She gestured to her lovely little room, and her clothes. "All this friends." The pictures. "All this... F-freedom? I have all because of... Foo." Her smile faltered at that.

Padma looked down at Maui's hand, and turned her own so that they were holding hands. Foo had given her this as well: the confidence to be around boys, especially this one specific boy who meant... More to her than anyone, in all honesty. With pink in her cheeks, Padma raised her eyes to Maui's and smiled. "I think same thing," she murmured. "We're going to save him," she repeated what Maui said.

Maui was rushing her? Well, he was here to save the world after all, reuniting with Padma had been secondary... Padma averted her gaze and let go of his hand, but kept up the smile. "Mm," she agreed with a murmur, before standing and gesturing for Maui to go ahead of her.

Since they were in a hurry and Maui hadn't left the room like she'd thought, Padma figured he had forgotten what way was to the stairs. So she got up and walked out ahead of him, leaving the platitudes to go unheard.

Padma gave Fable a weary, unimpressed look, and then turned to Robin and Sunny. "We save Foo," she said. Robin smiled and patted her friend's shoulder. "Yeah, we'll save him," she said. She loved how she and Padma were feeling the same way about this. Fantasia wasn't loving it too much though, and she hopped over to stand beside Maui, coiling her fairy tail around his shin. "We must find your friends, the Fierce Frost and the Ferocious Flame," she urged them.

Fantasia tilted her head. "Her injury?" she inquired. They had mentioned the Fierce Frost had something happen to her leg, so maybe it was something to do with that. Robin pursed her lips and nodded to Fantasia's question.

"They're home in Seoul," Robin replied. Dae-Jung had insisted on taking Elvira travelling as much as he could afford (which was a fair amount considering he was from a chae-bol family), so they'd been on a fair amount of trips around South East Asia. They never went far because it would disrupt both of their educations too much. They'd returned from their most recent trip to Beijing a couple of weeks ago. It was so sweet that Dae-Jung was spoiling Elvira...

"Of course, Great Maui," Fantasia trilled in agreement, as she wiggled about a bit to get comfortable in Maui's arms. Robin gave them both a look but didn't say anything. Pointing her dainty paw, Fantasia summoned Padma like a princess summoning her maid. "Come, Righteous Rain." Padma approached with a blank expression on her face and waited for her gem. [Idk what to write lol.]

Padma closed her eyes slowly as the sensation of the gem washed over her, and a single tear dropped down her cheek as she did so. She wasn't sad, but the sensation brought a tear of pure emotion to her eye. It also made sense, given the nature of her abilities. Her eyes opened and she looked around at the world with a new sense of freshness - the freshness that used to thrill her but not brought a sick feeling to her stomach. "Oh wow," Robin murmured, looking at her friend's eyes. Usually they were a dark hazel colour but they were now a dusky blue, which was truly beautiful with her olive skin tone.
