Athaliah had been enjoying the silence while Jorde was asleep, but unfortunately that silence was quite rudely broken by the old man waking him up. Before she could tell Jorde to just go back to sleep, Icathul beat her to the punch. She waited silently to watch this play out, at least until the decidedly more aggressive spirit had led Jorde into the forbidden section. [i][color=fff79a]"Icathul, must you be so loud? It's bad enough in here with the sounds from the street outside, but at least that is bearable compared to your incessant and uselessly thunderous noise."[/color][/i] Her voice was calm and slightly clipped, as though she didn't want to spend any more time on a word than was absolutely necessary, and although she spoke at a normal volume, compared to the more boisterous Icathul she seemed quieter than need be.

[i][color=fff79a]"Jorde won't understand you any better just because you spoke louder, and intimidating him like that won't make it any easier for him to do what you want him to. That aside, are you trying to get him killed? This is a very dangerous place, even just touching some of these books could irreversibly harm him or ourselves!"[/color][/i] She sighed before addressing Jorde directly. [i][color=fff79a]"Jorde sweetie, please remember what I've told you before. When doing things with Icathul, at least [u]one[/u] of you needs to think before you act."[/color][/i]
