The closer they got to their designation, the more on edge Adelyn seemingly became. Her steady chatter began to die down, though perhaps that is in part due to not exactly having the most riveting of conversation partners, or perhaps it was even she was running out of things to complain about for now. She once more didn't pay much mind to Kiba's chuckle with anything bar a glance, if only out of curiosity rather than any real desire to learn what he found so funny, but luckily for him she just caught him staring off so she assumed he just saw something he found amusing and they continued on their way.

Once arriving at the guard command post, Adelyn began to stroke her ruby red earring momentarily, as if contemplating something before begrudgingly removing her beloved signature piece of jewelry. She couldn't take the off chance despite how far away she was from...was home even the correct term anymore? Anyway, she couldn't risk someone recognizing it and dragging everyone here into that mess. Pocketing her earring, she quietly followed after everyone, trying to stay between Kiba and Mark where she could to stay mostly out of sight of the guards but once they found themselves before the sergeant she straightened up, especially once Mark began to chide the man for his comments towards them. Oh please don't cause a scene here...

[color=BFB4B0]"L-look it's fine Mark, while calling me a twerp is uncalled for as there are certainly far more appropriate terms to address a lady, we can cut his ilk a little slack. After all, he said it was only nicknames the guard had for us, not how he viewed us."[/color] Tugging at his sleeve, she just shook her head as she attempted to convince him to drop the subject. Even still though, she had to bite her tongue and there was visible annoyance as she barely managed to swallow her pride. Ignore the remarkable man, she reminded herself. [color=BFB4B0]"As he said...we're here to lay the groundwork for trust with the guards right? Just leave the man to do his job, we do our job and everyone is happy. We don't have to make friends with anyone, just earn their trust and respect ok? Besides, the guards are stressed and busy right now so we can cut him some slack for being a little...prickly."[/color]

Perhaps it was a far more tempered response than the other two were expecting from the easily riled-up mage, but she seemed very uneasy and uncomfortable here. Luckily for her, she was with two people who were unlikely to pry into the reasoning why and she was at least grateful for that. But her other hand was most certainly clenched slightly as she sighed before addressing the man.

[color=BFB4B0]"I apologise for my companion's outburst Sergant Monreu, he isn't exactly a people person. I'm Adelyn Am....ummm just Adelyn will do if you wouldn't mind. A pleasure to meet your acquaintance and I thank you for the chance to earn a rapport with the guard of Rembrandt and I appreciate the opportunity given to our guild. I assure you, you will have a brill report to write for your superior officer on our performance and we will not let you down."[/color] After a brief curtsy to the man, she gave him a nervous smile as she didn't really make eye contact with him, just keeping her head bowed semi respectively, though it was more out of a want to avoid looking at him and showing her annoyance more than anything at the moment.

She just had to try and keep her snark comments to herself. And trust me, that was an inner battle and a half but she had already learned once or twice what could happen if she didn't keep her mouth shut. And while that hadn't entirely humbled the girl just yet, she was slowly learning to pick her battles. It just so happened this was one where if a scene occurred, she didn't want that drama potentially becoming involved as well. She still wasn't even why Jenna had invited her to this guild despite the potential issues it may incur, but she wasn't so ungrateful to the woman so as to bring her guild into the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. It would be poor manners to repay the debt she owed her in such a fashion after all.

And an Amberfield always repaid debts and goodwill with favorable results.

[color=BFB4B0]"...Although perhaps an apology just to iron things out wouldn't go astray. Just to keep relations friendly and all."[/color] Ah there it was, she couldn't help herself with at least that comment. Being called a twerp, while not the worst thing she had been hurt, still annoyed her. And referring to...actually, she wasn't sure which one he referred to as the competent one out of Mark or Kiba since they were both pretty silent sorts, but she thinks he was referring to Mark. Which was a slight against possibly the whole guild really, not just her and Kiba, by referring to him as the component one, insinuating that the rest of them weren't so.

[color=BFB4B0]"Then after my companions here introduce themselves, we can get going to the location correct?"[/color]
