Kalim was satisfied that the rather nervous fairy had indeed told the truth, and didn't seem to be hiding anything further. He could understand her state, smiling once more at the little one, [color=f26522][i][b]"You're quite welcome, little Kierie."[/b][/i][/color] His ears twitched as he considered her words. He didn't need to know what sort of magic she could do, just yet that is. The villagers had made it out that she was this scary terrorist, and yet she was shaking her before him just from a meeting with an authority figure. This girl hadn't hurt anyone, at least intentionally, in her life. 

[color=f26522][i][b]"Okay, since I do believe you are telling the truth, it is my final determination that you, nor any of your brethren, violated any Ebonfort laws, and were unjustly driven from the village. However, you also weren't a registered citizen, so unfortunately, I cannot punish those that drove you out. Which brings us to your little..."[/b][/i][/color] With this, he fanned out his paws, gesturing to the little fairy neighborhood, [color=f26522][i][b]"Settlement. There is nothing wrong with you and your people living here. However..."[/b][/i][/color] He believed that he had a fairly accurate count of all the fairies living here, and was quite satisfied with the amount. [color=f26522][i][b]"That does bring us to the very unfortunate task... One that brings me great... displeasure. I really, really hate to do this."[/b][/i][/color]

His eyes narrowed, his tail stopped wiggling as he looked at her seriously, a paw drifting to the knife at his hip. As it touched the hilt, [color=f26522][i][b]"Paperwork. I so hate paperwork."[/b][/i][/color] With a flick of the wrist, the dagger was drawn so quickly and flung, that none of the fairies would be able to follow. However, they would hear the thunk as it embedded into the trunk behind them, piercing a very menacing looking wasp. 

Looking at Kintaer now, noting the crease in his wing, and had put two and two together concerning her apprenticeship. [color=f26522][b][i]"Are you still able to fly swiftly with that wing of yours? Because I will need you, and of course, Lyriia, to accompany me into Silent Rise proper."[/i][/b][/color]

He cast his gaze back to the young woman, [i][b][color=f26522]"Are you able to speak for your entire settlement? It would make my life so much easier if so."[/color][/b][/i] His whiskers twitched as he saw this entire situation going very much in his favor. [color=f26522][i][b]"Go fetch whatever you might need for spending a day away from here. I do hope someone can watch little Kierie while we're gone? I wish to head out in half a stretch."[/b][/i][/color] His tail was back to wiggling once more, that mischievous smile on his face, his head cocked to the side.
