[sub][b]Interacting with: [@Arthanus] (Alm)[/b][/sub][/center]
[♪] And thus the battle was over almost as soon as it began - truly the mercenary company was not to be underestimated, which on some level, gave Nanami a sense of pride, but she knew her father had an eye for true talent. That was probably the reason he ended up letting her tag along, even as protective as he was, but now wasn't the time to dwell on such things, for she had the heart of a scholar locked away behind a warrior's training.

She soon found herself sitting on a piece of old, fallen pillar, sliding the journal from before and scanning it over once more. She figured most might have forgotten the find in the scuffle as well as the introduction of the strangers, though father was taking care of that. This is what she was good at, after all. Her eyes traveled back towards deeper in the ruins, guessing they had a little ways to go before finding anything of worth, since the pair had come from within.

To her mild surprise, she heard Alm's voice and glanced over with a soft smile. While most of the company more or less waved her presence off as one of the new recruits, she had known Alm for a little while now. They had not spoken at great length, but it was enough to be familiar and it was unlike the protectiveness of a father, which made her a bit more comfortable. Though a part of her could not help but smirk, but only in the slightest. [i][color=ff3b7a]'Ah, not really my first fight, but...'[/color][/i] Twas a fleeting thought though as she nodded. [color=ff3b7a][b]"I'm doing quite well, actually and no, my wings were not clipped."[/b][/color] She smiled again, enjoying the title she had somewhat earned and the play on words.

[color=ff3b7a][b]"I was just thinking about the puzzle referred to in the journal... and it's hard to say. It could be nonesense, something worth looking into it of course, but then one must wonder - is it a trap or are there creatures awaiting us inside?"[/b][/color] She let out a soft sigh. [color=ff3b7a][b]"When it comes to the ruins of the old world, there is no telling sometimes. What I had to go through to sing my songs with my blade was... certainly not something I expected. So a part of me hopes to see something truly fantastic while the other part of me hopes it is nothing, for the safety of everyone - not that we cannot take care of ourselves, of course."[/b][/color] She paused, glancing to Alm, reading his face. [color=ff3b7a][b]"What do you think?"[/b][/color]
