[Akko has to be careful both in the sense that she needs to be sure her part in this doesn't draw any attention and that she doesn't get sucked into watching Chariot's performance. She wasn't sure what exactly Chariot's planned show was going to be, but she hadn't anticipated an entirely new set like this, and so, she has to fight with herself to start making her way over to the human children as casually as possible. Not an easy thing to do when one wants to keep looking back over their shoulder and to hurry to get the children out of dodge as quickly as possible.]
[The children themselves seem equally fascinated by the light show, though their interest seems to be tinged with a bit of fear. It's... Well, it's a little heartbreaking to see. Akko still remembers the thrill she felt when she was small and seeing Chariot for the first time, and how her excitement eventually bled into a silent promise to herself that she would be the same kind of witch as her. But these children? They've probably only ever known magic to hurt, to enslave.]
[Once she makes it over near the children, it's not difficult to see the two Fae that appear primarily responsible for keeping them coming and going to where they're needed. Akko waits until their attention appears sufficiently absorbed before trying to make a move towards freeing the children. When one of the children looks in her direction, she holds a finger to her mouth and wordlessly points to Chariot's show instead. Although she does this calmly, on the inside, she is begging the kid to look anywhere but at her right now.]
