Why did she always get the freaks? Not only did she have to deal with this crazy Colonel and his men, but now there was a giant standing over her. Couldn't she just, deal with normal people for once? Maybe just a random civilian trying to mug her? She would even take a simple con artist trying to fool her. Truly, being this beautiful and powerful meant that freaks from all corners would gravitate to her. 

The man himself was truly a giant, and would probably drive fear into any normal person. Lina was rather unaffected by the man's frame, nor the blood on his armor. She has stared gods down, so why would this man be anything compared to that? If anything, she was more interested in what the man said than what he looked like. 

Pure of Chaos? That was odd. Chaos was the foundation of Lina's world, as well as the source of many spells. Chaos wasn't inherently evil, nor was inherently good, just a forever moving neutral power. The Lord of Nightmares was a powerful being, yes, and while she did wish for all to come to end, she wasn't a being of evil. Lina knew that first hand. 

The Colonel's talk only further added to Lina's confusion. Outlawing magic that warps the mind? The body? What kind of Chaos did these people know? The Chaos these people were used to was much different than the one Lina knows, and they obviously had a hostile outlook towards it. It was for the best that Lina didn't mention anything about Chaos. 

Out of the corner of her eye, Lina notices a solider take aim. She gave them a warning, and it seemed like this one screw up would be the cause for all of their deaths. Pity. 

" B-"

Oh, it appeared that the Colonel dealt with him. They rest would get to live, for now anyway. Hopefully, no more would have to die, and Lina could escape and be on her merry way. She also hoped that nobody realized she was about to channel a spell. It was time to play it off as if she was going to start something else.

" B-banned magic? Good to know, I'll make sure not to cast any spells like that. I'm sure that is all you guys wanted to tell me. I'll just be on my way now, no need to hold all of you up. How about you guys go show our new friend here around, and I'll just go to another planet or something. No need to worry about me. "

Smooth.
