"Only the first round?" China shook her head, disappointment written all over her features. "I shouldn't expect much in return, then?"
The quiet choking noise that came from somewhere in Ravel's direction was quickly making this whole side trip worthwhile. China hid a short smile, and looked quickly over the remaining stone angels to take note of how she might have to change her original formula in the future. Not by all that much, fortunately. In the end, she might even choose to give herself more work to make the whole endeavour seem like more of a challenge. Making them able to fly was the obvious one; making them indestructible a close second. Elementals, when they used the Earth power, were immune even to the magic of the Cleavers' scythes. There had to be some way to harness that in the Host.
And while those were good ideas that needed to be pondered, China knew why she was really distracting herself. They were on their way to go rescue Bliss now. While she still couldn't sort out her own feelings over that, she preferred not to dwell on it as much as possible.
At least she wouldn't have to drive, assuming Vex could. If only she could change the Host to be able to drive... a little too risky, alas. "Someone knows where this mirror maze is, then?" she asked. "Has anyone been inside it?"
