Your arrogance is showing.”[/color] Anna glanced up at the creature before returning to her book, unphased in the face of his display. [color=662d91]“Come down off your high horse for a few seconds and let me ask you something. If I refer you as the steward, outside of context of your position, does that make you my steward? No you, as we all are, are servants of the Masters of the Cathedral and thus “the” is in relation to our positions to the Supremes and which is why I said “the pet” and not “your pet”. And yet you believe I would have the audacity to claim [i]that[/i] as ours.”[/color] She gestured flippantly towards the errand boy and turned a page with a small tsk as her eyes scanned the page. [color=662d91]“No. Unless the Supreme Beings demanded it, I would rather have nothing to do with someone as punctually challenged and disaster prone as that.”[/color] She flipped another page. [color=662d91]“And secondly, I hardly find it proper you handing out punishments. Your authority is borrowed Baron. Given to you for a specific purpose or task. In this instance, it seems to find information and since I have hardly done anything to interfere with that, unlike someone trying to intimidate another working Guardian, I see no reason for your temporary authority to allow that.”[/color] Another page flipped and she paused with her finger on the page, opening another book to look at something else. [color=662d91]“However if you feel the need, perhaps following up with our Lord Volaris may benefit your cause. Yet as I was a direct result of his whim, I find you may have difficulty with that particular path. Or, even better, you can continue with our job and we can move on with our lives, supporting our Lord rather than falling into petty fighting.”[/color] She snapped the second book shut, muttering [color=662d91]“And I thought I may have had something.”[/color] With a wave of her wand, the scroll unrolled across the table and she set her first book down and pulled the scribbled writing on the scroll closer. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [center][h3][color=ed1c24]Volaris[/color][/h3][/center] [center][sub]interacting with:[@Lunarlord34][@Ithradine][/sub][/center] [i][color=ed1c24]'Thank you for making your NPC intelligent because I nearly messed up and we’ve only just begun.’[/color][/i] Volaris barely refrained from face palming as he heard Elizabeth quickly correct herself. He really should have had the foresight to consider that particular issue. He watched as Elizabeth mended the two soldiers’ wounds. It seemed healing magic still had the same effect. That was a relief. [color=ed1c24]“Helping a soul in need is the responsibility of anyone with the power to do so.”[/color] Volaris waved off the thanks. He regarded the pair. The man was useless now, sleeping peacefully now the pain had been washed away with Elizabeth’s magic. The woman now owed him a debt however and he fully planned to exploit that. Volaris sat, making his way slowly to the ground and laying his walking stick at his side. He looked back up at Elizabeth. [color=ed1c24]“Thank you for healing them Elizabeth.”[/color] His voice stayed cheery as he spoke to the girl, [color=ed1c24]“Would you be a dear and take Megu to check the surrounding area for other survivors? I believe there was a fort further on that they could have taken refuge in. I will join you after I have taken care of these two.”[/color] Volaris smiled at the two and turned his attention back to the two soldiers, holding out his hands. “Create food and water.” A small loaf of bread, a bit of cheese, and a full waterskin appeared in his hands. [color=ed1c24]“You must be hungry after your ordeal. Eat up and perhaps you can explain what exactly happened here. Unfortunately, I am rather out of touch with the world. It feels like it's the first time I’m seeing it.”[/color] Volaris laughed. [color=ed1c24]“I had secluded myself but with my granddaughter’s father gone, her life is in my hands and the life of a hermit is the life for the old, not the young.” [/color]
