I like how there relationship was illustrated, just because Marena is a Celestial Exalted doesn't mean she can't have moments of over emotional screw ups.
It could always be everyone else getting pissed off at her over her role playing her mental defense. If you want to think about it in terms...
There was that Chosen of Journey's who popped in to give them a heads up, and there was also just recently a fight with a chosen of Mars. There are more Sidereals than just undercover Ten.
I agree with pretty much everything here, also, Mew Cai is back in the lead, where they belong.
Only instead of detachable velcro hands, I'd settle for an abyssal hearthstone you could pop out of the forehead. That would rock.
