While many new users grasp for others, or seem panicked, Elizabeth smiles (in excitement?) and draws her book from out of nowhere. Her one and only precious item left -- and the only weapon she needs.

Her smile halts a little when she opens the pages and sees they're blank, but she flips to Thanatos's and sighs, touching the words.

"It seems we have company, Thanatos. They're surely not as mighty as that beast, but that doesn't mean they won't make this challenging. You've changed since we got here, as well..." She frowns a little, glancing at his skills and stats, then shuts the book and tucks it under her arm.

"We may need more assistance than I first believed."

Besides, these 'groups' were incredibly important for building strong bonds and meeting new people. That grey-haired boy -- Sensei? -- he had had one, after all.

As had her guests.
