To be honest with himself, he wasn’t sure what he was going to say. Explaining the situation and his silly proposal was difficult, and would require more explanation then he was willing to give. At best, he was simply going to talk directly to the instigator of this expedition and offer his support. He wasn’t quite ready to advertise his past yet. He idly noticed that the bad luck curse was still weakly active. He felt it manifest as he step-sided an accidentally spilled drink, then stepped over someone’s leg that shot out suddenly. Despite the heavy magical “noise” in the guildhall, Ferrin kept his senses open for the curse. So he acutely felt the sudden wave of magical energy sweep across the room. It felt odd, but he wouldn’t have paid it much it much mind, as it could have just been someone practicing a spell, if immediately after he hadn’t gotten the immediate certainty that he was bing watched. Acting casual, he rolled his shoulders and yawned nonchalantly then he slowly and seeminly disinterestedly glanced around, an expression of boredom on his face. His ruse was foiled by the fact that his yellow eyes happened to lock onto a pair of red ones. Time seemed to stop and crystalize. Ferrin wasn’t sure how long the moment lasted, maybe a day, maybe a year. He found himself entranced by the gaze, unable to look away. Then someone walked between them and the moment was gone as quickly as it had came. [i][color=silver]What was that about?[/color][/i] Ferrin kept walking, but the memory of those eyes stuck with him. Fugitively, he glanced back, making note of the red-eye girl’s appearance and the two men that were with her. Trying to dismiss the odd moment from his mind, Ferrin strode up to the small knot of people gathered around Sasha. [color=silver]”I would like to know that as well.”[/color] He interrupted loudly and cheerfully. Smiling, he florished and gave a small bow to the group. [color=silver]”Ferrin Astra, Aether wizard and the leading man, at your service.”[/color] He turned to adress Sasha specifically. [color=silver]”So you are Sasha. I see a beautiful face to go with a such beautiful name.”[/color] He complemented her light heartedly.

Blink.[/i] [i][color=red]...she reminds me of a squirrel.[/color][/i] Claire told her brother privately. He couldn’t really disagree. [color=0076a3]”So what you are saying is that it was a Take Over spell gone wrong that joined you with this other person...”[/color] Colt asked, half musing to himself. [color=0076a3]”How we ended up this way...well. To be honest neither of us are sure. It was done smoothly and carefully. We fell asleep one ordinary night in the middle of the woods, then next thing we knew, we abruptly woke in a bare room, locked up and like this.”[/color] He gestured at themselves. [color=0076a3]”This room was in a strange facility, full of machines and guarded by strange moving armors. Through some very fortunate circumstances—[/color] [color=red]—And thanks to me![/color] [color=0076a3]—And mostly thanks to Sis, we managed to escape.”[/color] [color=0076a3]”We later found out that we had been kidnapped by someone, and that someone had sent a powerful wizard, a necromancer, after us to recapture us, and they nearly succeeded. But we were saved by a man named Ferrin.”[/color] Colt paused in thought. [color=0076a3]”Unfortunately, that is all we know. We came here and joined the Guild to get answers. I wish we could help you more, but take over magic is not our specialty. Perhaps you could find some wizard in the guild who knows more.”[/color] Colt finished apologetically. [@PandaBrady]
