While she was relieved to find this, Elise also felt a bit guilty for not having a better response. She had just been getting up, when a guard rushed in from outside and relayed his message to the queen. [color=f7976a]"My queen, assassins... Right outside the palace, a large group of them!"[/color] [i][color=fff200]Perfect timing.[/color][/i] Elise cursed in herself before turning to the queen. [color=fff200]"It seems I'm proven wrong, already. I'm not sure if these lowlifes are forces of darkness, but I wouldn't consider this fight to be time wasted. I'll fight alongside your guards, if you'll have me."[/color] Turning to Malkai with a sly smirk, she continued. [color=fff200]"Seems you get to make true on your words, orc. There's bad guys to be stomped out there."[/color] Without paying too much mind if anyone followed or not, Elise turned and prepared to confront the mob. As if she had just remembered something crucial, she turned and looked Michele in the eye, leaning in close to the queensguard. [color=fff200]"You're not wrong. I don't consider myself a hero, anyway, but I can fight, and that's just what I'll do."[/color] With a satisfied grin, Elise once more turned and walked back to where the guard had said the mob would be. With her hands on her weapons, ready to draw them at moment's notice, Elise mumbled one more thing. [color=fff200]"Looking forward to working with you all."[/color]
