McKayla found Aura along the outskirts of camp, practicing her bow and arrow yet again, something that Aura had still become very good at. After a bit of small talk, and McKayla being satisfied that Aura appeared to be relatively normal again, she brought up the reason she wanted to speak.
"So, I was just wondering if you had...caught wind of the little plot that's being hatched here," McKayla began, checking over her shoulder as she spoke.
"Oh! Yeah, the one to fight Marla right? I know," Aura responded, still in a positive tone.
"Oh, good. Of course, I assume you denied. Those girls are suicidal," McKayla chuckled to herself, reminiscent of the uptight princess that barged into her room earlier.
"What? Oh, no! I accepted."
"Wha-?!" McKayla nearly lost her balance from just standing up, before straightening herself quickly, "y-you did what?!"
"I accepted! I mean, Marla has us trapped here, and running will do us no good..." Aura trailed off slightly, "but we've had to fight so many tough elves already. Wouldnt you rather try and end this once and for all, instead of risking your life for her sake?"
...What is wrong with her? She isnt even possessed anymore, where did this come from?!
Oh, she was already a bit like that. Does that bother you that much?
Yes it does!
Wow, so you do hate it when she thinks for herself. Yeesh, I was right.
Shut up, you're just a voice in my head!
"McKayla are you okay?" Aura asked, tilting her head.
"Yes! Yes, but forget about me, what about you?! Did you see how small their group was? You're going to die!"
"We...might die anyway, so I might as well try and save everyone from Marla. Besides, they've gotten pretty big now."
"Okay, but it doesnt matter how big they've gotten, they're still being led by that useless princess!"
"...Were they? Oh, Moira asked me, so I didnt know that."
"Moira joined them?!?"
Aura, a look of deep concern on her face, walked forward and gave McKayla a hug, "it's okay McKayla," Aura spoke softly, "I...didnt know you were so concerned about me, but...I think we can do it. I think we might have a chance. And if we fail, I...I dont regret meeting you McKayla. ...I should go and prepare now, though, but I hope we see each other at the end of this."
McKayla stood there, stunned, as Aura gave her a reassuring smile. Then, after a moment, the other girl took off and had disappeared back into camp.
Wow, you really feel upset. Aren't you supposed to be evil now? That sure lasted.
Shut it, we are not helping them. I dont care about what happens.
Did you want that front row seat?
...I'm only going to watch them struggle and nothing more. ...And if I hear Aura is in trouble, I might help.
You were right. This will be entertaining!

Micci also accepts when asked, spouting something about justice and such. She apparently discovered what the group actually was, and did not agree with that. Members of the group question how useful she actually would be in this situation.
