Rem was taken aback by the compliment, having not expected one in return. [i]What a proper lady...[/i] Rem noted, [i]quite rare to see one in a quest party of all things.[/i]

Others then hounded Illistrianna about her glowing jewelry garment, and she revealed that is was used to sense creatures such as werewolves and vampires. Rem wondered whether or not her bracelet would be able to sense her, but before she could come to a conclusion, another group of three introduced themselves to the party, however it appeared they wouldn't be joining them. Rem sighed in relief internally since she already wasn't used to traveling with so many people.

The man who appeared to be the most important out of the three (due to his luxurious garments) spoke up in a confident tone, announcing that he was the one who mapped their quest, and that he'd provide them with horses and 5000 gold pieces. 

The kitsune's mouth hung agape despite herself due to the shock of the hefty sum of dough. With that much money, her father could retire and pick up a more comfortable lifestyle that would allow him to be around his wife more...technically her mother could retire too, but she highly doubted that her mother would ever want to retire, she'd be selling precious goods even as a feeble old woman.

Rem's heart warmed at the thought, but she knew she couldn't let her mind wander from the task at hand. It was then that she realized that she had never ridden a horse before. A cold sweat overcame her when she realized that she didn't even know how she was [i]supposed[/i] to ride a horse with her large glaive. Was she supposed to strap it horizontally to her back? Or was she to attempt to ride an animal for the first time with only one free hand? 

Before she could stress over the situation any longer, the man who called himself Elijah spoke up again and mentioned they  were to decide among themselves who their leader would be. Rem was about to jokingly suggest "no-nose goes", before she realized that she didn't know these people, their abilities, or if she could even trust them or not...

Rem raised her hand and spoke up, [color=f7941d]"Hey, Mr. Elijah, was it? I know I'm probably going to be ignored here, but I think having us picking a leader right off the bat seems a little foolish to me. I mean, I don't mean to be a total buzz kill or anything, but How are we supposed to decide who the most suitable person is to lead if none of us know each other? The most any of us talked to each other is a little over an hour and over half of us weren't even told what the quest entails. Frankly, I don't know these people's abilities, their leadership skills, their mediation skills, or if I can even trust them or not. On such a dangerous quest, picking the wrong leader could get us killed."[/color] Rem took a pause in her speech and flushed a little red since she wasn't used to talking so much, she lowered her hand timidly and cleared her throat before continuing, [color=f7941d]"A-anyway, I just think that picking a leader right off the bat when all we know is each other's names would be a bad idea, you know?"[/color]
