Dan frowned. "Then why didn't you warn us so we could escape?" she asked.

"No... I didn't know before hand." she said too adamantly and quickly closed her eyes with a small groan. "No, when the juttle was coming... he said something about it. Something about Nyawela. He forced himself up and I didn't stand a chance. That man is strong... and vicious." she whispered, "But he had been waiting for them. I'm sure of it."

"Hmm..." Dan was silent for a moment. "Cong seemed thoroughly convinced it was the Yin Long... It seems like everyone's ticked off someone else with a lot of power..." She sighed.

Bee nodded slowly, "Yeah... I... don't know if our group will be able to ride this out." she confessed quietly. She glanced at Dan for a moment, "But you and Raven... haven't ticked anyone off, right?"

Dan glanced at Raven, but didn't say anything.

Bee looked at Dan and let out a sigh, "Dirt..." Slowly she rolled over, "I'm going to try to get some sleep while I can." she said tiredly.

Dan stuck around quietly for a few more minutes before retiring to her room again.

As it was starting to get later in Germany, Yue started poking her nose around just before the concert was supposed to start.

Yue caught glimpses of James as he was lead this way and that. Finally they seemed to let him be for a moment and he stopped by a faucet, pouring himself a glass of water. He was in full costume and looked marvelous and dashing as always. But his eyes still seemed a bit off, flicking too quickly around his surroundings.

After a moment or two, Yue slowly made herself known and walked over to him. She looked anything but extravagant right now in a plain t-shirt, casual jeans, and... were those sneakers? Had she ever worn sneakers before?

James nodded to her slightly, "What is it?" he asked not unkindly but rather bluntly. He looked her up and down for a moment then slowly raised an eyebrow, appearing a bit more like a usual James.

She was quiet for awhile before she worked up the nerve. "I'm sorry," she finally told him quietly.

James blinked, not reacting for a moment before he slowly frowned. "I don't get it." he stated, confused, "What do you think you did wrong?"

Yue blinked at him. "Huh," she snorted before continuing. "Well, I figured one of us had to say it first."

James paused, "Why?" he asked, clearly avoiding looking at her as he stared at his cup.

Yue didn't answer. After a minute she sighed. "Fine, whatever. Anyway, I thought I'd let you know I found the answer."

That seemed to get James's attention as he finally looked back at her, "What?"
