[b]"If no one else is gonna have a drink of that, I'll take a swig. After dealing with all that bull, I'd even take some of the leftovers from last night."[/b]

Ling couldn't claim to know what Nataly had been drinking the night before... and wasn't sure she wanted to find out. She passed the roughly half-full vial to her fellow mage all the same. "There you go. Have as much as you need, 'cause I've got a couple more restoratives and can make a new batch if I need to." [i][/i]

[b]"Rest easy mages...though it seems most of you were not even rattled by our landing. Just a few bumps and bruises for most of you! Shake it off like some good soldiers, and I think you might just be warrior material."[/b]

"You kidding me? That was terrifying at times. I'd take another fight with harpies over a landing that rough." The comment was made as Commander Hayes left the room. "Although... I get the impression the good Commander intends to get us into more scraps. Preferably without the crashing and burning, right? Um, no offence to Silvana, of course. She can do all the burning she likes..." Ling shut herself up. More rambling. To try and make herself look busy, she drew Kei and examined the weapon closely for any signs of damage it might have suffered. It seemed to be fine, though there were a few scuff marks from where Ling had hastily shoved her weapon into its holster.
