Clothes (Cheap) Wooden Talisman [/hider] [hr] Alisea waited for Reylan to finish issuing orders before speaking up. [color=ec008c]"Reylan,"[/color] she stated firmly to draw his--and the others--attention. Catching him by his arm yet again, she lead him away from the group. [color=ec008c]"A word please?"[/color] The magess guided their guildmaster back to the entrance, out of earshot of the rest of the party. Reylan turned his attention to Alisea, a faint smile on his face [color=violet]"Yes?"[/color] Silver-eyes looked at her expectantly, offering no resistance when she took his arm and pulled him away. From her tone, he knew it had to be serious. [color=ec008c]"Paralyze is a psychopath,"[/color] she averred in a harsh whisper, wasting neither time nor tact. Reylan winced at her straight-forward statement [color=violet]"I know. He's carrying one dangerous demon."[/color] He reluctantly said, [color=violet]"What do you suppose we do?"[/color] [color=ec008c]"We never speak with him to begin with,"[/color] Alisea answered, then sighed in resignation. [color=ec008c]"The only safe option is passed. The last thing we want is to cut him loose, then have him come back swearing revenge."[/color] Alisea fell silent a moment to think over possible courses. [color=ec008c]"I see two options: if he proves passive toward players, we can use him against the mobs. In that case he stays, but somebody keeps an eye on him."[/color] Reylan sadly nodded in silence, there was little he knew about Paralyze. He wanted to trust that Paralyze wouldn't do such a thing but he was left unsure, and he had to protects everyone. His brows were furrowed in deep concentration as he listened without a word until at last he spoke [color=violet]"He has helped us so far."[/color] Reylan stated firmly hoping that one day Paralyze could confide in him. [color=violet]"and the second option?"[/color] he asked. Alisea gave Reylan a hard stare. Her eyes held no more mercy than a butcher eyeing cattle. Though she didn’t say a word, the message was clear. Reylan felt nothing short of the wrath of god in her stare, a cold shiver going down his spine. He really hoped it wouldn't come to that. [color=ec008c]"We keep ourselves sa-"[/color] [color=gold]"Uh hi, my name is Shiba."[/color] Alisea just about jumped out of her skin. What had a moment ago seemed only hills and shadows cast by the sun had spat out a man. Both of Alisea's hands came up and she was ready to burn his hide before she even noticed him raising his hands in a show of peace. [color=gold]"Don't attack me I can't stress that enough. I accidently came in with you and I wanted to see if you were accepting new members?"[/color] The magess was still shocked; now she had to add disbelief. Her mind raced as she tried to decide if that was a lie, if it was plausible, if it was even possible to 'accidentally' join a dungeon raid without being a party member--nevermind the [i]six hours[/i] he must have been following them to be at that entrance. The only certainty Alisea had about this man was that he had not, despite their unguarded state, attacked Reylan and herself. But if he had been meaning to, and thus been 'accidentally' identified by the system as being a part of their party... It was Reylan who spoke first. His heart nearly forced its way into his throat and body jolting at Shiba's sudden appearance, though he didn't draw a weapon like his companion. After he spoke and a few deep breaths, Reylan was ready to reply [color=violet]"We are but we're kinda in the middle of a dungeon. Since you're already here, why not help us out? If you do well, I'll have no problems with you joining the Legion of the Wolf."[/color] Reylan spoke happily disguising his suspicion. A spark of inspiration struck Alisea. She lowered her hands and placed a smile on her face. [color=ec008c]"My, this game is full of surprises. Yes, please join us, Shiba. Reylan can set you up with a position in the formation and a buddy,"[/color] Alisea turned to face Reylan as she finished, [color=ec008c]"because nobody should be alone while on an expedition."[/color] She paused a moment to be sure the Guildmaster would know those words were for him far more than for Shiba. [color=ec008c]"You can pair up with a marauder so you can watch his back and be his damage-dealer."[/color] she explained, turning back to the rogue. [color=ec008c]"With that said, I need to catch up to Chari. Reylan will introduce you to the others."[/color] Alisea turned to go, but paused to say something more to Reylan. [color=ec008c]"We can finish that business later. Keep an eye on Aster for me,"[/color] the magess concluded with a wink. Leaving Reylan to handle the newcomer, Alisea slipped past the party and joined up beside Chari. [color=ec008c]"That looked like a wonderful ride--though you may consider conserving some mana for later,"[/color] she joked in a friendly tone. Reaching out, Alisea rested one hand briefly on the rogue's shoulder. [color=ec008c]"Chakra Magic,"[/color] she commanded, restoring [color=0072bc]18 MP[/color] to her. The magess lowered her hand. [color=ec008c]"That will cool down in a few minutes; then I can cast it again. For now we should scout the side path."[/color] It wasn't what Reylan had ordered before, but Alisea just brushed that off with a smile. [color=ec008c]"No going off alone in a dungeon. You have to bring me with you,"[/color] she explained. [right][sub][@Ithradine][@Jangel13][@Haruhi43][/sub][/right]
