[ She rushes down the street, her heart racing as she looks for any of those small orange gift bags, and fortunately it takes only two minutes for her to find one. ] Aha! [ She snatches it and returns to a sprint on the way back, leaping over a pile of debris here or a fissure in the ground there. The Erasers and the Story Eater have done a number to this city, but she knows that some of that damage is also because of these very same gift bags of exploding pumpkins. Still, she'd rather have the Erasers gone and deal with destroyed streets later than have the town completely overrrun.

It's when she turns the corner she begins to hear--....is that music? And it's growing louder the closer she gets to him. ]
Capell!

[ Startled at the sight of the three Erasers frozen in place, she looks to him in bewilderment before it finally connects in her mind. It's the song-- or, no, the flute... and Capell! She's sure that if she played the flute herself with those same notes, it would have no effect. But this powerful magic that is seizing the Erasers on the spot is because it is his power! ] A...amazing. [ She whispers, almost forgetting that she had returned for a reason. ]

--Ah! I found it, the gift bag. But we need to put some distance between us and them first, otherwise we will be caught in the fire. [ What she doesn't know is that the song must continue to play for it to work, instead assuming that the notes are like an incantation: you say them once, and the spell works for a duration after. So she's kind of just... looking at him, expecting an answer. ]
