[i][b][center]Tyrael Marchosias[/center][/b][/i] Shaking his head Tyreal spoke quietly. [b]"I have. I have seen the aftermath. Dealt with it."[/b] Tyrael did traverse much of the Ravine after all, some would argue more then all the naga combined. While unlikely that he had found each one, Tyrael did find many of the naga who were banished, and dealt with them accordingly. He understood, eventually, their need for stoicism as strong emotions attracted demons in the ravine. But it wasn't just the lack of empathy that brought them to blows, but also the lack of communication. It was always a lack of communication; both sides saw each other as not much more then another threat from the Ravine, one that needed to be crushed to live another day. Fortunately things worked out in the end, but it certainly had a rough beginning. [b]"Then why have you never come to me? Time and time again, I offer you my aid, yet you never use it. I had learned how to live amongst mortals. I could have taught you. You could have avoided all of this. So why, when you know you are failing, did you not seek help? What will it take for you to learn?"[/b] Tyrael never moved from his seat, not really showing any expression beyond looking at Mar. And even then it was less like he was looking at her, so much as his eyes simply were looking at her general direction. But his voice showed his emotions. Frustration. Concern. Hope. He wanted Mar to pick up on this, because it was all he was going to give her. [b]"How many more do you have to hurt?"[/b] [color=crimson][i][b][center]Lucilia Riovas[/center][/b][/i][/color] Listening to each of their reports, writing down what they said as well as looking over their evidence, Lucilia considered the mission largely successful. While she would need to investigate later on how the caravan master was going to review the college, they had at least completed the main objective of delivering him to Hysteria, as well as obtaining the vital clues. Alaira would need to be examined further to ensure that next time she is assigned to a more... Suitable mission. But Lucilia would deal with Alaira later. [color=crimson]"I'll take note of that Ssarak. Alaira has always been a handful for the college, but if nothing else she makes a excellent warrior. I'll be sure to use this information and have her assigned to missions better suited for her skills and personality. As for you and Meirin, you have my thanks for a job well done. No doubt you two played a large roll in it's success. I'll have your payment for your services in the mail sometime this week. If there is nothing else, you two are dismissed."[/color] Lucilia then took out another notebook, this one full of symbols and little characters. Her cypher book. She started to do a quick scan of what the contents of one of the journals were about, writing out something on another journal. Her thoughts, veiled by her wards, still wandered about the culprits. If it wasn't demons, but vampires, then who amongst them was the mastermind? And why would vampires be resorting to what amounts to banditry? Sure there were brutes and fools amongst them, but hardly any within their ruling class. They had better, more subtle ways to obtain goods and supplies. They always have after all. Hopefully once she deciphers this journal, things would start making sense again. [color=bc8dbf][i][b][center]Annabeth Gultch[/center][/b][/i][/color] [color=bc8dbf]"Bwah!?"[/color] Annabeth shouted in surprise as she saw Auriel turn blue with a red nose. She watched the scene unfold in stifled silence, as she couldn't help but to laugh at Auriel predicament. She didn't think she had sticky fingers, but she supposed that's what she gets for trying to swipe from the wagon. Annabeth herself chose the green ring and nothing else. Apparently it would allow her to silence any noise from her body for a total of one hour a day. She'd have to test this out, but she could imagine all the possibilities she'd have with this ring once she figures it's limitations. With Auriel and Aramir walking off however, that just left Annabeth, Colette, and the new girl to return to Lucilia. Annabeth honestly didn't want to do it, so she looked to Colette and the new girl. [color=bc8dbf]"I don't think I actually met you yet. But taken by the roc hmm? That must have been frightening for you. Colette, would you take her to Lucilia? Maybe she could help set her up for a room. Oh! I'm Annabeth by the way. I work at Underhaven, little tavern in the lower levels of the college. I actually have to head back there and check in, but come and meet me sometimes! Bye!"[/color] Annabeth waved at the two girls and dashed off to Underhaven. She was actually just going to go get some drinks for herself, maybe find Satori and test out this ring with her.
