Right. So. There'd been an incident a couple of weeks ago where a magical teleportation attempt had gone badly and left half Kennedy's squad so violently nauseated they'd been badly off their game in the fight and sustained some pretty nasty injuries. Plus it had disintegrated one of her favorite swords (not the one Zack gave her forever ago, luckily) in the process, which added a little extra whipped-cream topping of crankiness onto her guilt at letting her girls get hurt.

...Kennedy. Shut up.
