[color=8dc73f]"You call her a thief but-"[/color] “She would like that, but she knows better than any what happens to a person who steals from me.” Erin frowned as she was interrupted by the very thing she was going to make a point about. She didn't belong to anyone. She opened her mouth to speak again, but fell silent at the sudden realization that she was witnessing the death of the Lamia. Erin hadn't thought that he would actually kill the woman- it had seemed like just a scare tactic at first.. but now a very real threat. She stepped forward, a hand raised as if she were going to pull the two apart herself. Of course she couldn't though, and the hand fell back to her side as she tried to think of anything to say to save the Lamia. [color=8dc73f]"She really didn't do anything wrong- I followed her here willingly. I had asked her a question and she was going to show me the answer."[/color] “I will take you back to those that may listen to your questions as soon as I am finished.” [color=8dc73f][i]Really?[/i][/color] She glanced around the room, noticing the goblin that was still there but seemed to be frozen in fear, and also looking down the path behind the bookcase once more. She wasn't going to take that route, but it seemed the the newcomer noticed her this time, because he then told her not to run. She was half tempted to go only ten feet down the path now, just to spite him, but considering what he seemed capable of it was probably better not to do that. She crossed her arms and stood there, just sort of glaring at him for a moment. [color=8dc73f]"You're not the boss of me."[/color]
