[center][h1][color=6ecff6]Karina Frost[/color][/h1][/center] Karina was quietly waiting for Chres' stew to get ready as she heard Týfurkh suggesting to put guards for the night. It was indeed a wise decision. Honestly, it was the only choice they had, lest they wanted to count on just their luck... Which, seeing how [I]lucky[/I] they were that entire day, might as well be the same thing as suicide... And she wasn't even counting with that mysterious power known as 'Insight'. [color=6ecff6]"It would be a wise thing to do... But just as Chres said, it would be better if we made pairs for that. We all need rest, but we don't know exactly how this 'Insight' might affect us... At least not all of us."[/color] she said, nodding towards Týfurkh, agreeing with him but shooting a discreet glance towards Chres. When Chres started mentioning a child's tale, after she had mentioned the pact. Chres himself seemed to be lost in his own thoughts after saying that though. Karina didn't blame him. She herself had a lot of things to think about. It wasn't just about the war anymore. She had stumbled into something bigger... more dangerous than just the war... Tales and stories for children seemed to be almost... believable after everything they heard and saw until now... [color=6ecff6]"This is not about the war anymore, Chres... It's worse... Much worse..."[/color] she said, looking to him and the group with a grim expression on her face. [color=6ecff6]"That is exactly why I need to report to the military of touch and open their eyes to what is happening... It shouldn't be that hard now..."[/color] Karina said, with a sarcastic chuckle. Octavio's words, although grim, indeed had a point. Gin, whatever he was, was undeniably powerful. As much as Karina didn't like to think about it, they had stumbled into something much bigger than themselves. Both sides were. Before Karina could offer herself to be on guard with Chres, Octavio did it first. In part, she was grateful, she really needed to eat something and rest a bit, but another part of her couldn't stop but to think how fast she came to... 'trust' that ragtag group made of people who barely knew each other enough to sleep near them. [color=6ecff6]"This unspoken pact... we need to think carefully about what will we do from now on... We stumbled into 'things' that might be much more powerful than we may think..."[/color] Karina said, looking to DB after he finished speaking. After that though, Karina heard Sil's voice as she looked to Týfurkh, surprised he could talk before calling him a 'half tree half metal man with a touch of mouse'. Chres, soon after that proceeded to apologize due to what Sil had said. Hearing that, Karina couldn't help but let out a surprisingly cute giggle, looking to Sil. Always cheerful, if not a bit aloof, at least at that moment, Karina was glad that she was around. She sure needed something to calm her nerves down a bit. After taking a bit of time to serve herself a bit of stew and eat, she turned towards Chres and the others after Chres himself mentioned the Jade Candles and the strange effect they had on the cultists and especially the sightless on the last fight. [color=6ecff6]"We do not have many jade candles left... We now know how effective they are against the cultists..."[/color] she said, taking one of the two jade candles she got from her own room in the inn from her bag and examining it. [color=6ecff6]"I can think of a few ideas on how to use them... For example, create lens to amplify their light with my ice magic..."[/color] She said, putting back the jade candle inside her bag as she continued eating the stew.
