[center][h1][b][u][color=9e0b0f]Rhea Duvalier[/color][/u][/b][/h1] [b]Interacting with:[/b] [@Zeroth] [@Kazemitsu][/center] [color=gray]Her inner thoughts were interrupted when two of the volunteers, the masked man and the thick-armed knight that sat next to her, had approached. Just when she thought that she was going to get some peace and quiet for a few moments, people had to come running up to her to ask questions. She didn't blame them for having such inquiries-- they were going on a journey they almost knew nothing about. Turning away from Icarus' saddle, Rhea faced the two men. The red-haired man that she studied intensively was at the very least polite. So was the knight, who had introduced himself quickly. She crossed her arms instinctively, hearing Maize call out from somewhere in the distance. [color=9e0b0f][b]"From what I could gather, we'll be traveling on horseback to Port Sesta and then taking to the seas. As for the question of how long it'll take to get back, I'm not so sure. We are carrying light supplies, so maybe for not too long,"[/b][/color] she gave them a shrug, her eyes remaining on the face of the masked man for a little while before continuing to speak. [color=9e0b0f] [b]"I'm sure that Sir Maize will tell everyone when he has the chance. He's not the type of person to leave people in the dark for long."[/b][/color] For a moment, she remained standing there, her arms crossed as she watched Gorou with a cautious gaze. She was no longer aggressive, not in the least; Rhea just wanted to make sure that this man had no devious reason to hide his face. Even if he swore he didn't have vile intentions, she would still keep a close eye on him from afar. She didn't know what King Erigan was thinking, allowing so many strange people to join their unit. [color=9e0b0f][b]"If I may, can I question your purpose and reason for being here? It is quite strange that you're offering your blade to aid us in our travels,"[/b][/color] she spoke again, acting as if she was directing the question towards both the men. But in reality, she was more interested in Gorou's reply. If he gave her some information, she could force herself to relax, and that way she wouldn't be riding on his back instead of her wyvern's. [color=9e0b0f][b]"Besides that, I am offering the second seat on Icarus' saddle to those who prefer not to travel on horseback for whatever reason,"[/b][/color] Rhea notified the two, glancing between Gaivred and Gorou. She hoped that it was the latter-- if the swordsman rode with her, she might get more information from him, along with keeping him far from Eli until she fully trusted him.[/color]
