[center][color=f6989d]"Halt!"[/color][/center] The voice was clearly directed in the direction of the large floating suit of armor...Its head slowly turned to face the direction of the rather small guard whom approached it. While trepidation clearly seeped out of every pore of the man he still did his duty in case this thing was to disturb the peace. Well more so than it was as onlookers either went into hiding or stared at it in wonder. [center][color=f6989d]"State your purpose...Sir?"[/color][/center] The suit neared the man, its towering form and illumination making the man seem far smaller than he was. A voice metallic and cold rumbled out of the helm. [color=0072bc]"Too the Gate."[/color] and without giving the man another moment it turned and resumed its, float? Towards the now known destination. However the guard once again let his sense of duty overtake his instinct to let the thing pass. [center][color=f6989d]"I did not say you could g-go!" [/color][/center] The guard winced as he caught his stutter, showing fear to beast normally leads to getting a bite at the least. Thankfully this was no beast. A bit of a sigh escaped from the mass of metal. [color=0072bc]"Instructed, a storm grows."[/color] With that the thing motioned the man to go. [center][color=f6989d]"A-are you one of them storm folk?"[/color][/center] If a suit of armor could express disappointment it could have been no more clear than the vacant glowing stare the now relieved man had received. [color=f6989d]"C-carry on then!"[/color] The guard stated too the already moving armor. It was almost another hour before it would arrive at the group. At least it assumed it was the group as not many aristocrats gather near the gate without a legion of their personal boot-lickers. Despite how hesitant the others seemed to be to speak to one another this being shared no such notions. The sound of its metal shoes dropping to the ground with a loud clank should have been plenty to draw the groups attention as it asked one question.
