Sanguine didn't plan on using the portal because that would draw too much attention. Several people suddenly appearing in the middle of a small town, or a wealthy person and her entourage passing through. It was quite easy to see which had less possibility to cause problems later on. She just wanted to use the mirror to spy on the place ahead of time. Being prepared could make the difference between winning or losing, in any dangerous situation. Not that she expected danger, but it was good to be prepared nonetheless.

However her worries proved to be correct the moment the village came into view. It didn't at all look peaceful any more. People in armour, some on horseback, were running through the village while people without armour were running for their lives. The woman's eyes widened, not even hesitating on whether they should do anything or not. Of course they had to do something...if possible at least. They hadn't exactly been able to test their abilities against the locals yet after all. But now was not the time for such thoughts. She quickly stepped out of the room again, wanting to find Oliver as quickly as possible. Luckily the man had been quick to put on his armour, as she met him just as she exited the room.

"Oliver! Good! The village is under attack for some reason. I planned to go by carriage, but I think we should go there immediately to see if we can do anything. I guess we're getting a chance to test our power in this world sooner than I expected." The portal was only usable once a day, but this felt like the right time to use it. It wouldn't sit well with her if they went there normally only to find that everyone was killed, considering they could likely do save the village right now if they used a portal.
