[color=9e0b0f]"Listening to both sides is exactly what we should do if we want to get to the bottom of this."[/color] Andrew said in agreement with the team's assessment. [color=9e0b0f]"But let's hold off any judgements of either side till we do that yeah?"[/color]

The rest of the flight was relatively silent, other than Andrew's occasional comments whenever he noticed something interesting. After some time they reached the continent of Mistral. A town came into view that matched Andrew's description of Gallia and its surrounding areas. As they flew over the town they all got an excellent look at the current state of Gallia. 

It was divided, in the most literal sense. Cutting the town almost perfectly in two was a wartorn line that seperated the village east and west. It was clear that a major battle or battles had occurred at this line, many of the buildings and homes around the line were heavily damaged, on fire, or just outright destroyed. 

[color=9e0b0f]"Gideon...what the hell are you doing? How did he let it get this bad?"[/color] Andrew muttered to himself in an agitated tone, the amount of disarray and destruction surprising even him. What on earth was happening in this town? 

The airship began to descend as a rather [url=https://i.pinimg.com/originals/bc/da/e9/bcdae9060e01f763efea3c80db6ae6c9.jpg]large manor[/url] came into view, located on the eastern border of Gallia. Andrew landed the airship in the middle of it's garden, without much thought for said garden. Andrew got out of his seat and walked out of the airship as the bay doors opened, he gestured for the team to follow him. 

They were greeted by several armed guards, pointing their weapons right at the group. "Halt! State your business here!" One of them said. 

[color=9e0b0f]"It's [i]me.[/i] Andrew Felicia. I'm here with the beacon team your [i]wonderful[/i] mayor requested. Now where the hell is he? We need to talk right [i]now[/i]." [/color]

The guards looked at each other before lowering their weapons. "Follow us..." They turned around and started heading inside the manor itself, leading the group down a hallway. 

As they walked, Andrew suddenly looked at VGGB. His expression was grim and serious, his carefree attitude on the flight there had disappeared. [color=9e0b0f]"I don't know what's happening in this town, but something super sketchy is definitely up, do [i]not[/i] drop your guard..."[/color] He said, quiet enough so the guards wouldn't hear.

Ah, so it was time. Violet's ears twitched as she steeled herself for combat. It wasn't the first time she'd been in battle, and it would hardly be the last. Sixty Nevermores approaching? With the four of them plus the might of the Atlesian vessel on their side, this battle would be swift and decisive. Of course, Violet knew that she should never underestimate her opponents, no matter who they were, why it reminded her of the time tha-

Violet's train of thought was broken as she instinctively caught the rifle that was tossed at her. Violet quickly looked over the rifle, analyzing every detail of it and feeling it's weight, getting a handle of the weapon and how it would perform. It seemed to be fairly standard Atlesian tech, functional and reliable, nothing too quirky or fancy about it. 

At Sand's explanation for the rifles Violet nodded in agreement, it made complete sense. After all, Violet's arrows were custom made and she would prefer if she could retrieve them if possible. That was one of the downsides of using bow and arrows, when you were out of arrows, you were out of luck... 

At Sand's finally question, Violet merely clicked off the safety on the rifle, pointing the thing upwards. [color=92278f]"Of course."[/color]

Violet glanced at Robert, for whatever reason, he seemed rather nervous. Hmmm...this was where she was supposed to reassure her teammate yes? She decided to give it a try. 

[color=92278f]"Um...don't worry...Robert."[/color] Phew! She remembered his name! [color=92278f]"We've got this...no need to worry. N-Not that I'm implying you're nervous or anything!"[/color] Ugh, this was harder than she thought...she just wanted to start shooting already and forget she said a thing!
