When the emperor himself spoke up, Kassandra's hands went still. A small reverbnation from the strings of her instrument was the only thing that emanated from the girl before that too went quiet. She listened very intently to the royalty, absorbing the details of his rhetoric with extreme concentration. She spotted that the knight was giving her a rather strong glare as the emperor spoke, taking note of the woman's demeanor. Kassandra gave the stranger a nod as she had done earlier, though this time it was one of acknowledgement and partial humility. 

	Kassandra set her guitar on the floor beside her, pushing herself up to stand as the emperor finished his speech. It was a lot to take in at first, the danger and excitement of it all! Plague, monsters, adventure! Something about the risk brought a overwhelming feeling from inside herself, a sense of strength and inspiration. She just wanted to do what she could for her fellow man and this seemed to be the best option. At all costs, Kassandra would do what the weaker - willed could not and make a sacrifice for the greater good. There was no going back now.

	Most interesting were the monsters themselves. She had heard some small rumors about their very existence but hadn't learned of any details in her travels. To hear that they were demonic and rogue - like was surprising to say the least, as Kassandra had always pictured them to be more beastly. What foul sorcery layover this land in order to cause both plague and devil? Surely, these two incidents were both related for the creatures were otherworldly.

	The bard clapped a bit in a condescending manner, trying to break a sense of lighthearted tomfoolery to the very serious nature of the situation. She took the lord's words very seriously but there couldn't be a moment of dullness if she could help it. Some of the people around her looked like they could stand to take things in a less serious manner anyway. 

	"If this is the least I can do for all those good folks out there, then I'm in. Kassandra Blackbriar and company to the rescue, aye?", the young girl sputtered out with a hint of laughter behind her words. Kassandra smiled heartily and looked over the crowd curiously as a hand swept to the flask at her side once more. She was curious as to the others' reasoning for jumping onboard such a perilous mission, though she would not verbally question it. She wanted to believe that they were all here to do something good for the world, as selflessly as possible.

	"One day, this will be quite the tale. One of swords and arrows, of might and magic! Gangrel - folk and nobleman alike joining together to slay beasts and end illness! We'll all be forever entrenched in the rich annals of history should I have my way. Let's see what we can't do, aye?", The traveller spoke before taking a long gulp from the flask in hand. She could feel the warmness of the alcohol penetrate her soul as her inhibitions started to fade.

	The musician flipped up the hood of her shawl and folded her arms, interested in what anyone else might have to say.
