[h3][color=92278f]Grey Onyx[/color][/h3] Grey nodded at Meirin's words... She was a nice enough woman, but he just couldn't shake this feeling that the two shouldn't be allowed to pass. There was something he wasn't being told, and if there was one thing he hated it was lies. [color=92278f][b]"I'm afraid you'll just have to come back with a written report... And... yeah, I'd like that. I saw some... Less than pleasant things."[/b][/color] He raised his eyebrow as they approached, stepping in front of the door with a sigh. [color=92278f][b]"Look, this doesn't need to be diffi-Hey!"[/b][/color] He shouted when he saw the illusion, stepping over to stop it... and watching as his hand went through... Goddamn psychomancer! He turned back, finding that Ssarak had indeed tricked him. He fixed his shield to his arm, which is the one piece of equipment he insisted on carrying at all times. Something was definitely wrong. If this was just a report, they wouldn't have felt the need to try an illusion. He stepped forward, and shoved the Eysire to the side as he took up a position in front of the door. He kept his guard up, staring at the Eysire. [color=92278f][b]"Back. Off."[/b][/color] He growled... before turning his gaze to Meirin. As he did, his expression softened. [color=92278f][b]"Friend or not after that stunt I cannot allow you to pass. Come back with a written report..."[/b][/color] He said, sighing as he turned back to the Eysire. He would not harm either of them, but he would not let them pass without explicit orders to do so. [color=fff200][h3]Alaira Taenn[/h3][/color] Alaira smiled slightly as Lyn went around being her usual self. She took a seat, patting her on the head as Lyn drank her cocoa. She saw Lucilia look to her several times, usually looking away quite quickly. If she had to guess, the vampire was probably surprised that she wasn't trying to throttle her... Well, it appeared that this reasonable approach thing might not be so bad after all. She sighed, hoping that she could stop some bullshit down the line. [color=fff200][b]"Look... Just don't do it again, alright?"[/b][/color] She asked, fairly certain she would know what she was talking about. She heard her say Ssarak and Meirin were at the door... Ugh, figures. She heard a knock on the door as well, followed by one of her least favorite voices. She stood up, and yelled to Ssarak right after he spoke. [color=fff200][b]"Fuck off! The office is closed until further notice!"[/b][/color] She then proceeded to drag a chair over and prop it against the handles. She raised her eyebrows at the sounds of a minor scuffle, but just shrugged as she walked back to her seat. [color=fff200][b]"I'll just give you the damn report... they would tell you the same thing anyway."[/b][/color] She said, leaning back as she began to recount the events of their mission in her usual blunt manner. She was fairly detailed, and she told her everything, even stuff that made her look less than ideal. The burning of the field, her misguided provocation of the guards, her intimidation of the caravan master, and their elimination of a sizable chunk of the bandit threat. [b][color=fff200]"There weren't any demons, just Vampire mind-mages... I think it went pretty well, but the others'll probably whine to you to put me in 'time out' or something..."[/color][/b] She said, grumbling as she turned back to Lyn, patting her again.
