((It's unquestionably melodramatic.))Tommy quickly caught up with Bubbles as she made her way down the stairs. "Bubbles? I'm sure you know what you're doing, but would you mind explaining it to me? I know Sterling's plan is pretty simplistic, but is going off by yourself any better?"
Bubbles paused, apparently coming to her senses. "Well, I don't know. Besides, most if not all of those guards are already falling all over themselves in lust for me. I shouldn't have any trouble a'tall controlling them with my mirror." She grew thoughtful. "Of course, Venger fryin' the two who touched me might have put a bit of a damper on them." She paused for a moment, finishing with an impish grin. "But I'm sure I can have them eatin' out of the palm of my hand again right away."
Tommy nodded, a sober look on his face. "I see. I have just one question for you. Who are you trying to prove yourself to?"
Bubbles stared at Tommy in shock, the question blindsiding her. Then her mouth snapped shut and she looked thoughtful. Just as she started to open her mouth to respond, the castle shook with the force of an explosion above. Dust filled the air as Tommy grabbed Bubbles to catch her from falling. She smiled gratefully at him as he shook his head to clear his ears. "Bloody Hell! Now what?" he exclaimed.
