Everything about that phrase left a bad taste in Dremmick's mouth. He jerked his arm from the guard as he felt the tension start loosen, the bandages were red where the guard grabbed them, though they quickly faded back to white. He nodded a slight thanks to Eros as he was originally planning on skewering the guard's hand and going for an escape, though he could only imagine that it would be fairly tough to escape. [color=A52A2A]"If you will excuse me,"[/color] he said, irritation evident in his voice. He turned and walked off while Czi and Eros seemed to be exchanging 'pleasantries', leaving through another door into the same hallway. Dremmick had heard of Eros, even though he never took any interest in the man. He did however thumbed through one of his books that he found surprising in a library one time. Some of the sketches were admittedly captivating even though they were highly adult in nature, while others... still haunt him to this day. He thought about the new tyro girl he ran into in both the hallway and the library. There was something about her that he just couldn't put his finger on, like he recognized her, though he was positive he had never seen her before. [color=A52A2A]'Maybe she was some royal in disguise,'[/color] he thought with a slight grin. It was an interesting concept, like that from a book, but hardly a reality. It could happen he supposed, though he had never heard of a royal throwing away their title and fortune to go and adventure with a bunch of misfits from across the land. His grin quickly faded as he was saw two women and a servant coming down the hall, especially when that servant pointed to him while talking to one of the women. It was then that he noticed that the one the servant was talking to was carrying a seeing orb. He let out an annoyed sigh, a faint bit of smoke escaping from his mouth as he turned and opened the door to his room, walking in. While he did ask for it, he was reluctant to start, as this would be something he wished he never had to relive, much less share with anyone. [i]Especially[/i] someone he didn't actually know or trust. It was a risk to him, but if it answers his questions it will be well worth it.

She looked around and noticed that Cerese wasn't in the washroom anymore. She liked Cerese, unlike a good number of the other Tearians in the escort. They seemed to think of her as a tool, a machine, but Lynn knew that there was a soul that was inside Cerese, and even though it was being used to run the machine that is her body, it should still somewhere be capable of feeling. Lynn blew bubbles in the water. She contemplated if doing this was the right decision. She didn't know many of the people in the escort, and though they were friendly enough towards her, she still felt a little alone. Back home, she had a few friends, though most of her time was taken up at the infirmary, she didn't have much time to do anything. Her head sunk under the water, now only the tip of her horn poking out. Maybe this was a bad idea. She would be leaving with a group of people that she had no idea how they were like. At least with the escort she knew that they were Tearian soldiers, now, who knows what kind of people they would be, especially with all the yelling that she heard not too long ago in another room. She curled up into a ball in the water much like how she was when she was siting outside on the crates. [color=7FFFD4]"What do I do now..."[/color] she thought solemnly out loud to what she thought was only herself, not knowing of Metis somewhere in the same bath.

First time in nearly eleven years I'd wager."[/color] He put the pipe back in the pouch and proceeded to get out of the water, feeling better than he ever had in years. [color=9ACD32]"I may as well rest up, I would assume we are ta be put ta use in tha morn', so I may as well get a bit a shut-eye."[/color] He gathered his things, slinging the sword harness over his shoulder so the swords hung over his back as he held the belts with his left hand. Everything else he just carried tucked under his left arm as he went to the room he originally changed out of his clothes in. He opened the door and walked in, letting the door close behind him when he stepped inside. However, he froze for a moment when he noticed a young tyro woman sitting on his bed reading a book. [color=9ACD32]"Oh! I am sorry lass, I must'a come into tha wrong room!"[/color] he said a bit sheepishly, especially since he was there in nothing but a wet loincloth and his ever present left arm cover. When he turned, he noticed his clothes neatly folded next to the door where he left them. [color=9ACD32]"...or not... It is fine though! Tha room is yurs ta keep, I can find myself another. Sorry ta bother ya."[/color] He grabbed his clothes and started to head back out the door, admittedly a little embarrassed.
