Garnet crossed her arms and looked over the hodge-podge group, trying to figure out if their force would be enough to defeat what Aster had called 'Laia.' Her yellow eyes were fixed first on Misaki, who was the only one she saw injuries on. There was nothing that would inhibit her in a fight though. "Alright..." She studied Aster, not trusting the weird glow in his eyes and his knowledge but hoping he'd be of help. Syra had walked over to two taller figures, Garnet guessed they were teachers and decided not to count them in the calculation of the group's abilities.
Johannes had already wandered off, so he didn't count, and neither did that kid Syra had been with at the training hall. She hadn't seen Rouge either, so that left Devin, whom she stared down with a grimace. He wasn't looking straight at anyone, and his eyes were red at the corners. Garnet guessed he'd been crying. He didn't look physically disabled though, so she added his power to the calculations in her head, deciding that with everyone's help they could take it down. "Come on, let's take care o' that thing before it tries anythin' with the school! Then that jerk, Stein is goin' down." The orange-haired girl knelt down and wrapped a bit of tape around her broken toe, using a little to reattach the bandage she'd had on her leg and then taping her fingers for the fight. She dropped the roll into her bag, glad she carried mostly useful (non-school supply) items around.
As they found a hall stairway that would lead to that part of the roof, Garnet dug her hand in the pocket of her pajama shorts, taking out half a candy bar. She held the chocolate out to Devin, asking, "You okay?" She didn't want to pry, but with the distaste and lack of empathy he'd shown it seemed that whatever would make him cry had to be bad. "Have some sugar, it helps." Junk foods were pretty comforting, at least in Garnet's experience. Considering his attitude, she expected some response like 'That filth won't pass my lips' or 'You've eaten half you barbarian' but figured it was worth a try to help him focus on the fight ahead.
((I don't think NPCs should be used in the boss fight~ Unfair advantage xP We've just got us five now, one for each element kinda, so let's combine our power and take this thing down.))
