Haha! It worked! He was within reach no- why we has so tall!? Reaching up to him barely would have been possible if he wasn't so close! No, Marain had more important things to worry about. Reaching into her hat and jumbling with one hand, and outstretching the other to take her rock, she fiddled around inside a bit to find what she was looking.

Getting a steady grasp on the firm, cut piece of Dust, she briefly looked down to confirm it was the one she was looking for. Seeing it was, she placed her other hand over Carnelian's to take her rock back, her aura suddenly flaring.

"R-right, sorry, but it was all I could think of..." she mumbled underneath her breath

I did it!

She thought to herself, her victory self-assured...until nothing happened...Eh? No no, seriously, what? Dd she honestly just forget about the wait time for her semblance?! But it's been three minutes! Or, it felt like it's been three minutes...This was his fault! Distracting her all with his gallant, charming moves, and kindness, and, and...all those other things! She lost track of how much time passed for her semblance! She couldn't copy the Dust's property and electrocute him!

Standing there, she continued to have her hand lay over Carnelian's, awkwardly leaving it there and not taking the rock back as she internally panicked and attempted to think of what to do next. What could she even do now!? He looked like a walking inferno! He was probaby going to capitalize on her closeness now too! Damn it! This wouldn't be so stressful if she could have just used her weapons!

She'd need to rely on her contingency plan, she realized, biting her lip. No, she wouldn't have any time, he was moving now.

It was her loss, and it was because she didn't plane enough. She was too careless.
