Liliana stumbled and crashed sideways into the wall.

"Get back." Ori hissed, "I'm warning you."

Liliana trodded towards the group, rubbing her head and grimacing. "Why all the crashing today..." She muttered, then spoke louder while adressing Ori, "Or else?" Her lip curled in disgust.

"Or I'll call the Zyla- or the Dark Lord."

"Why?" Liliana gave a throaty laugh, but she was suprised by the words coming out of her mouth. She could feel another presence in her mind.

Mind control.

The words echoed inside her head. Her face contorted in confusion for a split second before realization dawned on her. She gave a slight nod, so that Ori wouldn't see it as anything out of the ordinary.

''Try to play the unthreatened role well. Remember, she's like a speck of dust on the carpet compared to you. Act lik eyou don't care about what she does, as long as it doesn't hurt YOU.''

The words that spoke in her mind were encouraging to her, and she gave another slight nod.

After the pause, she stared defiantly at Ori, "Because you can't deal with a silly group of untrained animals yourself?" She shot a glance back at her friends, trying to tell them to go along with it, and not argue. She could see a bead of sweat on Riexwell's neck. Obviously the mind control on both Jackson and her, and fighting had really taken a toll on the coyote. She could imagine Jackson's mind put up quite a bit of resistence, after all the experimenting. She could imagine hers had too.

Ori snarled and backed up, strating to lunge forward at Jetleap. She froze mid-leap, and fell to the ground, muscles locked.

Liliana looked at her friends, confused. The group seemed confused, too. They didn't seem to know what had happened, and they all looked innocent.

Until her eyes landed on Riexwell Tier.

Another drop of sweat had placed itself on her collarbone.
