[h3][color=6ecff6][center]~Ceri~[/center][/color][/h3] [hr] [color=6ecff6]"Eep!"[/color] Startling Illedreth, made Ceri in turn startled and she couldn't help but to let out a second small squeal of fright as Ria revealed herself. Of course, it was only Ria, and by now Ceri was feeling suitably irritated by their antics. Not that she didn't entirely mind, but being constantly startled in the course of...well, all day tended to fray on ones nerves. The small girl puffed out her cheeks, and would have been visibly glaring in a decidedly adorable manner if someone had managed to take her hood off. She was also mildly upset she hadn't been so aware of her surroundings. It was the guildmaster and Kage, two mages objectively ten times more powerful than she'd ever be, but still. She was getting lazy. .... Ceri inhaled, slumping her shoulders slightly as Ria spoke. She was concerned as always about all of them, and it put her slightly at ease. It couldn't [i]really[/i] be a dragon could it? The thought made her almost visibly shiver. Something like that...she was certain of Mis' and Dreadlins strength. Even Kage, even though she didn't know the Golem's mage that well. But her own? What was she supposed to do against a dragon? Hug it to death? How absurd. As Ria patted her head, the small blue robed mage made a quiet displeased whine and watched her leave, noting Cyril and Saeko doing...something? She didn't take much time to ponder it as Illedrith told them all to go get ready for the mission. Right, she had a few things she should erm, take care of herself. Namely take a few minutes and get her nerves under control. [color=6ecff6]"O-oh, uhm, r-right."[/color] Meet back outside in an hour and a half. Easily done, yes. [color=6ecff6]"I-I'll see you all later!"[/color] Ceri called out in her usually quiet voice. She gave everyone a friendly wave goodbye before heading off towards the guild. She had a few things to take care of herself. Nothing huge, but something that would at least help put her own mind at ease during the job. Her feet swiftly carried her through the crowds and back towards the guild house and her lodgings in them.
