chapter 5
- After introducing herself to Genie and her friends, Ila casually mentions that Louie would be going to the Forest of Tartious alone, but said they needn't worry since she'd brought some magical artifacts that would help him. When Merrill and Genie comment that they seem useless, Ila replies her items were probably more useful than "some people." Not only was a sick burn, she smiles innocently afterward while Louie just wants to get outta there.
- After they leave, Louie realizes just how manipulative Ila can be, or so he thought. As soon as she sees that her plan to get them to go with Louie worked, she promptly sticks him with the item bag and ducks out. Which is when it really sinks in:Louie: (in realization) "Ila, don't tell me this was all just..."Ila: (waving) "Come back safe now!"Louie: (thinking) "I'VE BEEN HAD!!!"Ila: (smiling) "Hey, no worries, right? You get to go with your buddies now, thanks to me!"
