"I'm Terezi," you say to Vriska, and she nods without recognition. She's sizing you up as if deciding if she could take you, and it's making it very hard to stick to your intention not to think about the past! Very, very hard.

"Are you happy to go with this alien? He's one of my allies, and I can assure you he's pretty nice, even if he is a big goof."

She smiles at that, downright 8rilliantly. "I can tell!" Nepeta would probably squeal to find out that Vriska already seems to have a little flushcrush on John.

"He is also pretty powerful, so I am also trusting him to keep an eye on you." You aim that partially at John. "But all my allies here are willing to have you stick around for now."

Little Vriska's smile changes as she looks around at everyone else. She's sizing them up too, and already she's good at not letting herself show she's afraid. "Scoot!" you order, making shooing motions with your hands. They scoot.

"And now!" You whirl around to turn on the two fighting knights. "We are going to think very very carefully about how to reverse this!"
