But the power of friendship helped keep that in check. That said she realized she didn't have to be so formal around Elroy. Hopping up to her feet she grinned and shrugged. [color=saddlebrown]"Well I suppose I do have some kind of agenda in that I want to protect the people of Penrose. Might sound cliche but I do love my job even if it is technically coerced. I just believe that it's better to make friends than enemies when at all possible."[/color] Glancing around it didn't seem like anyone else was going to show. The other person didn't seem to want to reveal themselves but she wasn't going to press to make them known. [color=saddlebrown]"Okay then, looks like it's just us for now."[/color] She gathered the remaining food items and packed them away. Taking her staff in her right hand she whirled around next to Elroy and hooked her left arm into his right arm. [color=saddlebrown]"Shall we go meet your sister then?"[/color] Her timidness seemed to have vanished all at once though there still wasn't any hint that her willingness to cooperate wasn't genuine.
