Rise's voice makes Rose grimace. She falls quiet, though, as she goes on the back of the Rapidash. Her eyes turn to look at the Emperor; she narrows them, then grits her teeth. He knows that Union did this. And he was far, far stronger than they could have ever expected. She hisses, softly, before she closes her eyes.

Her sides hurt. Her arm feels like it's on fire. It's a miracle that she doesn't pass out.

But it does some good to see Efreet land. The Combusken looks at her, worried, and then starts to run off next to the Rapidash. Rose winces, then she glances back at Nero. "Thanks," she manages, though it's grumbled through the pain.
