Eilidh watched the brigands flee triumphantly, before turning her attention back to the wizard downed before her, and losing the smile a little. He was better off dead, but she was supposed to capture him alive. Even though she knew this, she killed him. When Ian caught up and congratulated her, she was pleased but also took note of some of the things he said. Normal monsters don't really like killing, it was true. Centaurs were known to be an aggressive, combat-hungry race even by Monster standards. Was that really something to be proud of?

[color=9B1436]"Sorry. I know the goal was to capture him alive, but I couldn't fight them all at once. I needed to demoralise them quickly."[/color] she replied, having just made that otherwise logical reason up to cover the fact that she killed him because she wanted to, and because she couldn't stop herself. She did, however, strip the corpse of its armor and stowed it in her saddle bags, and caught the bag of gold thrown at her.

[color=9B1436]"Thank you. The guild will appreciate this. It was nice working with you, too. For the most part,"[/color] she spoke, still smiling warmly which accented the next threat, as well as folding her arms to cover her bust from his gaze. [color=9B1436]"Next time we meet, maybe I'll teach you how to talk to me in a way that doesn't make me want to kick you. I won't and never will, don't worry, but I want to."[/color]

When they parted ways, Eilidh set off for the nearest Town to rest, eat, drink and examine her new armor. That happened to be Ambran, to the north. On the way, the events of that quest were still playing on her mind. Should she be ashamed of killing? Did she have a problem with her self-control? Was she...good?

[color=edd902]"The higher-ups have had a high tolerance for Varjo, it's true. I've never agreed with it but my point of view is widespread enough that I was not reprimanded by the Order for speaking out against Varjan actions on multiple occasions. And yes, I have briefly met this Centaur though we didn't speak."

I won't enquire as to the meaning of the message, but if the resistance is in danger, I would gladly offer my assistance in that matter also. We can discuss rewards later, though I won't ask for much in exchange for delivering a letter. I will gladly aid you further in exchange for favour of possible aid if I ever have a future mission or job that takes place in this part of the world."[/color]
