"Very, it's likely she could've been surprised, but she's definitely alive."

Shielding herself in a heat barrier.

"Her ability is pretty unique."

Continuing on.

"There's an ally here; she must be hurt."

"Hold."

She says.

"He's a friend. He's just sick."

Mana has never had to sense intent. Her reaction speed has guided her throughout a countless number of ambushes.

Clueless.

When the giant purple dragon emerges from the treeline, she braces rather than attacking.

Mana swipes a few ballista bolts out of the air, looking up at a floating platform.

She signals to it, then continues forward.

"Your super vegetables will do a lot for you."

Flopping over and chillin'.

She flies back down after seeing him clear a couple areas.

"This way."

Going to the Low Road

She smiles, her tail wagging.

"I thought you could handle it, I'm sorry."

"What's up?"

Setting him down.

"No problem."

She pulls out a second one to drink it.

"What do you usually eat?"

She dances around while making her food, whatever that means to him.

It's terribly strong, just huge chunks of garlic swimming in some thick, white cheese broth.

"Garlic cheese soup."

Smiling and wagging her tail.

"I made it myself."

"Garlic, kale, onions, broccoli, all of them."

She gives him a thermos.

"Here."

"I love meat."

Mana smiles and spins around.

"I just make sure to eat a lot of the really good vegetables."

"Vegetables."

Bloody thumbs up.

"The superfoods and shit."

Comparison

"My long life will be because I ate good."

She doesn't know.

"And all that other stuff I found... But it'll be pleasant because I ate good."

She's not much special, just very tall.

"He just got old, didn't want to extend his life like I did."

Mana makes a sphere of energy in her hand, red with a yellow center.

"I found out how to eat right when I was young."

"I did, but he's dead now."

She scratches her head.

"I don't remember much, though, he just told me to keep going."

"I just kinda worked."

She touches her nose.

"I'm sixty-three years old."

"Yes."

Holding him by his head and dashing to Avalon.

It was her wedding dress.

"What do you wanna talk about?"

She flicks her tail around.

"She did."

Mana nods, rubbing her chin.

"You're pretty strong, so if you want to go together, we can."

"Hey."

She uses telekinesis to float her dress over and put it on.

"What's up?"

His meditatiom makes her head snap up.

She flings herself forward, spinning on her head, then bending herself so her feet touch the ground and she can upright her form.

She has people ears and manticore ears.

Her ears go down, the fluff inside them sticking out from under.

She rolls over in her bucket, but is much too big for it.

She's just out on this asteroid.

This bucket has her name on it.
