Kou still seemed to retain a bit of his resignation about the situation. Miki understood this to a great extent. After all, they weren't just preparing for a game, as far as they knew, their actual lives were on the line in this particular skirmish. And beyond that their eventual livelihoods would be dependent on how they managed to conquer this next task. Even while seeing it as daunting, Miki managed to hype herself up for it, a bit more than she would have normally been capable. Truth be told, if Miki was at home, playing her game, she likely would have taken an hour or two away from the game, had a snack, went to the bathroom and done several other manner of things before diving into this. Even so, there was absolutely nothing left to do but dive headfirst into this. "Atta boy. We gotta work on your pep talks though...this one almost isn't one..." Miki mentioned as the lad joined her back on her pillow and she floated towards the exit. Her path would take her all the way back to the Chieftain as they discussed their battle tactics. Her words had been in jest, but she supposed if she didn't make a joke of this situation, then she would be just as likely to fall into a depression over their task. "Hm, I wonder what I will get out of this, I hadn't gotten around to going to the Lizardfolk when I was playing in-game. To be honest I'd have no idea what to expect from this entire thing..." she said. Even more so than their early experience in Dwargon and the Fairy Forest, she had no idea what was coming from this particular situation. Soon enough though they'd find themselves back in front of the Chieftain with news good and bad to present to him as far as their potential fight against his son, an apparent Lizardfolk Lich.
