[indent]Rael had remained quiet while the gravity of the moderator’s message fully sank in. She had paused so much, she didn’t even turn when Landon tried to destroy the gate so they could retreat back to town. She didn’t even blink as the gate was engulfed in flames and the people around her began to worry and panic. Had anyone been able to look beyond Rael’s beguiled expression they would’ve seen a distinct difference between themselves and their red-haired comrade. Rael’s emotions weren’t full of dread or panic, they weren’t cold and horrified; they were [i]warm[/i] and [i]happy[/i]. Pariah was her escape, but before today she always had to take a break from the world and return to her life in Tokyo even though she never really wanted to. The anxiety of returning home and dealing with her home life was finally gone.

She pressed her tongue against her leftmost canine, allowing it to encircle the tooth as she thought about the dungeon, the situation they were in, and the weight that had finally lifted from her back.

[color=A84B5E][i]I’m not scared like everyone else is. Huh.[/i][/color]

Finally snapping back to reality, Rael took a light breath as she listened carefully to Tiferet, Graves, and Elian, and the words they said. Graves dropped the tough guy act and came up with a gameplan, and even though if it wasn’t a [i]great[/i] one Rael recognized that it was one that worked and made sense. Dealing with the dungeon was the smartest thing to do, because even if they found a way to escape the unavoidable fact that as soon as they got back to Thorinn the monsters would likely follow. The chaos and threat of a horde was way more dangerous than dealing with it before it got out of hand. After all, the dungeon was brand new and it was the perfect time to deal with it.

Moving forward, a smirk appeared on her lips as she pushed the blunt point of her spear down on the stone floor; the sound making a loud 'clank' as she did so. Her eyes narrowed as she looked in Graves, Elian, and Tiferet's direction.

[color=A84B5E]“I don't see why everyone is freaking out, calm down, you [b]dummies[/b]. We’ve got maybe the best group I’ve ever been a part of in this world, so we’re not going to die – especially not with me and Graves doing our thing. I mean, we handled the ogres and goblins without any deaths or any real injuries, so we shouldn’t sweat it. This will be easy if we don’t second guess ourselves. We’re the vanguard of this world, y’know? We don’t sit around and make bread all day crapping ourselves if a goblin sneezes in our general direction, we do what we do. ”[/color]

She placed her foot against the opposing wall. [color=A84B5E]“So do we want to act like breadmakers or wayfarers? I know which one I’ll take.”[/color][/indent]
