No, no, no, this was not--- Those explosions should have been on this floor! What had happened? Not that she was sure she even wanted this to succeed now - and wasn't that just a kick to her processor, she felt awful, they'd worked so long for this - considering the revelations...
"No, wait--!" Elita cut herself off and allowed Optimus to pull away. She couldn't offer her combat skills. Not because a consort didn't have them, but because she technically should have none for this function; she'd been hired as a consort only, a decorative arm-piece to be pretty, hold his drinks and provide conversation if it was wanted, not in any capacity to be a bodyguard.
Oh, the combat protocols that went with her function as an Escort had been locked away for the evening, yes, but those had no bearing on her actual skills...
"Be careful," she finally said with a smile and it tore her up inside, before turning and following the majority of the senators and nobles. This attempt, she knew, wouldn't succeed--- And then she had someone slide up beside her, offering an arm and she took it automatically, but did not like at all how the field slid against hers.
