Tamrissa rests one arm just below her chest and her other hand goes to her chin, one finger lying against her lips. She finds the presence of Thisias and 'Bob' before even trying to deal with the thing posing as Zera.

Thisias, now that you have returned I must ask that you and your companion come to me at once. Although it is difficult...I wish you to witness the termination of this woman's life.

Her power over the Umbra reaches out to the purring Zera before them, tracing the true form of the being inside the illusion. The cat form only appears for a moment to her eyes, quickly covered by the illusion again.

"Gabriel," she whispers.

She paces closer to the marines, eyes going to Clutch.

"Cameron, place your sword again. We will continue," she shoots a warning glance to Soul Reaver as she speaks, trying to let him know that she understands exactly what she is doing. "The woman is obviously trying to wriggle out of our grasps here. She has designed this illusion in hopes that we would release her. I remain certain that this is none other than the Zera we placed in the cell only last night...no matter the sword's explanation."

Her head turns to either side, looking for any sign of Thisias. With a sigh, she tries to stall a bit longer until he arrives.

"Zera Al Agni, because of your crimes against this Umbra, against the honorable Marines and against the innocent who were at your mercy, you have been judged," she walks a slow circle around the group still standing on the top step, speaking more to the others than the prisoner. Another questioning mew from the imposter makes her pause in her speech to clear her throat. "Not only will you die this day, but so will everything that you, your master, and your fellows stood for. Today we will see the end of a hard won battle and your blood will pour over these steps in honor of those who've died."

She frowns as Thisias has still not arrived.

"...those who've died and those who still remain alive. Your blood will spill to remind us what we have fought for and will continue to fight for!"

By now, the cat has raised Zera's head slightly and given her a confused and almost frightened look. Tamrissa breathes, trying to think of something more to say.

Be patient. I realize this is not Zera in truth. I am trying to lure in our escaped, she sends to Clutch and Soul. When Thisias arrives, I want you to take off the head, Cameron. I will ensure that the being inside the illusion remains unharmed. I want the boy to realize we have caught him red-handed.
