The peasant girl's outburst was unexpected. She thought Alicia being a lowly Stormbringer, similar to the rabble she wanted to shape up. [b]"Had the fall never happened, or if my pedigree held any meaning now, you would have faced some unpleasant consequences."[/b] This was rather insulting really. Or it would be, if Alicia still cared about that sort of things. She was way past from being hurt by words, especially words of an ignorant, yet observant commoner. [b]"I suppose I stopped being relevant ten years ago. I mean, being a Royal Guard is kinda pointless without a king."[/b] Alicia's face was complete unfazed. [b]"I was under the direct order from the King himself to form the Stormbringers, right before the fall. But as it turns out, not everyone was willing to follow military structure and discipline."[/b] She frowns a bit. [b]"I abandoned this foolish notion when it became apparent that most of this rabble was beyond any sort of training."[/b]

Alicia approached the girl. She expected some sort of fear from a commoner, she was used to intimidating them. Yet this one did not show the signs of being intimidated. [b]"But you are right, I'm no Stormbringer. I'm not desperate for recruits, I just want to kill some demons, preferably something scarier than an imp, and maybe even teach these buffoons a thing or two about combat."[/b] At this point Alicia noticed she was the center of attention. Again. The odd part was because she only had a rather civil argument, not a bar brawl. Though in her case, it was more like a one-sided massacre. [b]"I'll be honest, girl. Unlike those guys over there, you didn't even flinch when I approached you. You would probably even do better with a sword than them. Without a doubt they would piss their pants the second they faced an Orc charge. That should tell you just how much of a joke these Stormbringers currently are."[/b]
