Well, this was certainly odd, to say the least. Sylphie hadn't seen a town that looked like this, with guards like this, in hundreds of years by now. What was going on, exactly? This definitely hadn't been there when they were all sealed. But then again, neither had the forest. Had something terribly wrong occurred here? Sylphie was beginning to suspect that something had, at the very least. She frowned to herself for a few moments, ponytail swishing as she cocked her head.

"How strange," she commented, simply, with a shrug, before smirking towards Byron. "Well, if we have to keep up this charade, you have the right name to pretend to be a butler, do you not?"

The tiny girl giggled lightly, before considering the situation once more. Really, she was no good at covert information gathering... she didn't like the idea of being forced into such a role, but it looked like they didn't have much of a choice. Surely these people would understand the situation if she simply showed them her blade, right? No matter what had happened, the simple fact that she stood here now indicated that Aphei was still worshipped, so they would recognize her sword, wouldn't they?

It was then that Izel spoke.

"... Oh? Sacrifice? And here I thought my company was quite pleasant. Hmmm..." she let out a mock sigh, and shrugged. "Fine. I should like to visit the local church, however."
