"I'm totally a human, yes? A pretty forever-23 year old human!~" She said, as if that made perfect sense. At the further discussion of who should enter the village though, Izel let out an annoyed huff. Obviously that was the logical choice, but where would the fun in that be? The mage wasn't really one to follow orders well, let lone from...humans, but she supposed if she wanted answers she should play things a bit delicately for now, at least. She followed along, refraining from saying anything to the guards as Byron talked. Adventurers? Amusing. Was that what she looked like to these people? At least they were easy to sway with words. She didn't have to use any...questionable methods to get herself in, so that was fine. A little mind trickery was always fun, but sometimes didn't end well. Especially if someone like Sylphie was here. Not that she wouldn't mind playing a bit with her, fufu. Once inside the village, she was once again, mildly disappointed. So...rural. Ah, she missed her library. Her lab. Her cushy magically regulated air temperatures. "Hmm...perhaps we should travel in pairs?" Izel suggested. More seriously, perhaps there would be a library or some sort of...books around here. Some place detailing recent history would be good, but from the look of the village she wasn't so sure they'd have access to such a thing. "'Twould be humorously unfortunate to awaken only to fall prey to the usurpers. I shall make the sacrifice and volunteer to go with Sylphie."
