[center][color=fff200][h2]Elise, Golden rogue[/h2][/color] [hr][@Mangrale] [@Darkmoon Angel] [hr][/center] [color=ed1c24]"Stand aside [i]human[/i]. I haven’t come all this way just to be denied by the likes of you."[/color] Something about the way he emphasized on the word 'human' pissed her off. Something in the dragonute's demeanor managed to rub her just the wrong way. Observing the dragonute, she noticed his hand was already hovering over his weapon. [color=fff200][i]He's planning to draw his weapon here? Fool. Does he not realize there are more guards?[/i][/color] With a swift motion and an icy stare, Elise drew her sword. She'd have liked to end him right here, but she realized that he too, was one of the 'chosen ones' and thus important, instead she put the blade against Viranti's throat. [color=fff200]"Say, dragon... was that supposed to mean something? I've enough confidence in my swordplay to say that I, as a [b]human[/b], cant take you on. I suggest you stand down."[/color] As uncalled for as it'd been to press her blade to the dragon's throat, Elise sheathed her own sword and turned to the guard. [color=fff200]"Excuse my companion here. He doesn't mean anything by it."[/color] Briefly turning to Viranti with yet another soul-piercing stare, she stated [color=fff200]"--At least, I hope he doesn't."[/color] Pointing her thumb over her shoulder at Khristina, Elise remarked [color=fff200]"Perhaps the [b]oracle of Lucius[/b] here can explain it to you, we've come to fight some Mecha something-or-other. Encroaching darkness and whatnot, so I'd really appreciate it if you'd take us to your ruler."[/color] Putting some emphasis on the part where she mentioned Khristina being oracle, Elise hoped to simply overrule the guard by a call of authority.
