Cinera sighed a bit at Sapphira's response. She still didn't seem comfortable enough to admit how she was really feeling. At least, she believed her friend cherished her ear more than she was letting on. Who wouldn't be bothered by something like that? She decided it was best not to push the matter any further, though; the fox lady had been through quite enough, and the last thing she wanted to do was put any pressure on her. [b]"Well, I don't know... But I think you should give it some more thought before deciding you don't want us to do this, for you."[/b]

The PM from Delcastle came promptly, and she looked up to see he was no longer speaking to the old man. [i]I wonder if they struck a deal...[/i] He seemed to have left in a hurry. Hopefully, he was alright. That punch looked pretty bad, but he'd gone through worse in the woods. An image flashed through her head of the time he had nearly died of that wolf attack, but she shook it off. [i]No point in worrying about him... He's got a plan for us. I bet he just needed to go take care of business.[/i] Still, her instincts were sharp and she could tell before he left that he was feeling wary of something. [i]I hope I can be of some help to everyone in this battle...[/i]

It made her stomach knot to think of the dangers ahead. They would need many more members for their guild if they ever hoped to make it to the end safely, at their levels. It's too soon in the game to keep pondering people dying. Instead, she gave her friend a gentle smile and took her hand, pulling her to her feet. [b]"Of course we want you to go! I mean, you don't have to if you don't want to... But as of now, you're a client of our guild. We'll be sure to make your wishes happen, either way."[/b] Smiling, she placed a gentle hand on Sapphira's head and rubbed her hair, affectionately. [b]"Don't worry about equipment. You're level 10, right? We can get you suitable armor and weapons. And we can even teach you to fight and defend at least yourself, before we go. Don't worry. Everything will be alright!"[/b][/color]

Scarlet was ready to head out, glad that Reaper didn't try to force her to rest or anything, when food suddenly arrived at their room. It was a bit surprising, since they hadn't ordered anything, but she could guess who it was from. [i]Edgar...[/i] She still wondered about him, but she wasn't going to pester him just because he was feeling a bit uneasy. He would need to man up and talk to her himself, if he was so distraught! For now, she obeyed Reaper's command and allowed herself to relax and eat, if only to help the dizziness fade.

[b]"We can go train after this, right? We really need to hurry... That other group might beat us through the gorge..."[/b] She replied with a mouth full of food, her legs crossed as she sat on the bed. Now that she was awake, she sent a PM to her grandpa and "uncle".

[b]YOU AWAKE, YET?
WE'RE IN OUR ROOM AT THE INN.
WE ARE GOING TO BE HEADING OUT FOR TRAINING, SOON.
WHERE WILL YOU BE?
YOU TWO CAN COME WITH, IF YOU THINK YOU CAN KEEP UP.
LOVE YOU BOTH.[/b]

She sent the text off with a bit of a solemn smile. [i]I won't ever make those old men feel unloved, again...[/i][/color]
