[Until 9S confirms her suspicions, Mash glowers a little behind the backs of the others—she can't help it! She may be bad at controlling her volume sometimes, but she's not an idiot, and she knows babies crying when she hears them! Not to mention she's pretty sure the darting shadow she saw before wasn't either of these guys. Does she have evidence? No, not even a little . . . so maybe it would be easier to let them hash it out and slip away on her own in pursuit of whatever's really going on . . .

But no, she isn't the only one, thank god. Her eyes widen at the words cursed spirits and nods, keeping her voice down this time, and hoping the other two do the same. That may be a bit too much to hope for.]
