The fact that Hax seemed it was appropriate to say [i]don't use that sword unless I say[/i] caused a flash of anger to flash through Cassandra. "I just said I want your help, obviously its because I don't want to lose control" She said annoyed, "Which means I don't want to draw my sword." She made no move to move her sword away from her. "Believe it or not, I have good judgement. I won't draw my sword unless its absolutely necessary" 

She sighed bitterly, looking to Lilly she took a deep breath. "Its more, I don't have a choice in asking for his help. I can't be sure I won't lose control and then that just defeats the purpose of protecting you" She said, reminding herself again to talk with Oliva or Simon about taking up the dragoon meister. 

She fell silent, laying back, looking up at the roof for a few moments, before taking out her own book. Even as she read, she wasn't relaxed. She was clearly listening for any sign of attack, and was also clearly ready to spring into action, but slowly she seemed to relax as she immersed herself into her book.
