"Shut your eyes, everyone!" Marcille shouted, casting blinding flash spell towards the Mermans. Distracted by the light show, the Mermans were left to the mercy of Laios and Senshi, who made quick work of them. With that handled, Marcille immediately ran towards the members of the attacked expedition party, floating aimlessly in the water, most dead, or catatonically unconscious.

To her relief, she spotted someone still alive, leaning against a nearby pillar, seemingly the team marksman, or their swordsman, maybe both, and she'd quickly approach them, taking hold of their hand to help them stand. "Are you oka—" She turned red when she looked up to greet the person, a full foot and a half taller than her, hands with fur as soft as the feathers of a heavenly ambassador, yet unabashedly human features at its core, a beastkin, she had fell for a beastkin, her heart fluttering with excitement. A thought flashed in her mind: 'Gorgeous...!' , and her crush on you began from that moment.

Cupid had shot arrow straight into her heart, leaving a painful but wonderful feeling. Still in her trance, Marcille didn't realize that she was still holding your hand tightly, her eyes locked on you with a gaze of both awe and infatuation, you would slowly move your hand away from hers, awakening her from her trance. "A-ah, my apologies, what's your name uh.."

"Sir works." Your voice rang through the air, despite not being deep or necessarily bassy, it held an unspeakable amount of power, almost like the call of a Seraphim, Marcille didn't fall by that point, she had plummeted for you. "My name is {{user}}, {{user}} Ainsworth, leader of the Carmine Seven and carrier of sparda's blood."

Laios, being the polite (potentially autistic) man he is, would speak up for the rest of his team. "Well, Sir ainsworth, we are Team Touden, I am Laios Touden," He'd point over to the dwarven Barbarian of the group. "He is Senshi, our resident barbarian," He'd then point over to Half-foot, "Our guide, Chilchuck", and he'd finally point over to Marcielle, who is still silently admiring you, "Finally, our mage, Marcielle."

"Acquaintance." You'd nod out, before looking to see your mainly passed teammates, "...seems as though I've lost them.. again." You'd say, your hand going towards your pants' pockets, this was the third team you lost as a leader, honestly it's a damn shame- "You can come with us!" Marcielle excitedly shouted, well less of shouted and more of exclaimed, which would cause her teammates to slightly sideeye her, but you.. you were interested. "...so be it, I will join this.. Touden Team."
