Sylvia sighed quietly at the mention of the loss of evidence in the Black Claw tribe. Of course the cultists would try to eliminate as much evidence as possible. After they suggested showing the evidence she found to the Greyscales, Sylvia answered, "Already showed them one piece of evidence after we took care of the Jabrani Tribe. We found a dead cultist's body and brought it back here, in hopes that you would be able to identify who that cultist was. Longstrider had her guards take the body for safekeeping. I haven't shown them the sword Venomfang was carrying yet though. I still have that with me, if you guys want to try and identify it," 

She blinked as Yorik limped over to her, despite the wound in his leg. She was surprised to hear that Yorik noticed that something was weighing on her mind. Was she transparent or was he that insightful? Either way, he was correct in that she had much on her mind. Before she could answer, Cera already came up and somewhat admonished Yorik for joking. She listened to their banter a bit and she had to admit that they did have a point. Was she really a civilian at this point anymore? She traveled and slew monsters, as well as taken the lives of the Iron Hammer Bandits. And now...she was participating in a war! A war! Like she was some super soldier!

She snapped out of her thoughts a bit when Yorik gave her a reassuring smile. She accepted the invitation, "Sure. Thank you, Yorik," She couldn't help but smile when she listened to a bit of Yorik's and Aisha's catty chat. After Cera asked, Sylvia answered her, "Thank you, Cera. I think it would do me some good to talk for a bit. But truth be told, there is a lot on my mind..."

She decided to start with an immediate issue that came to mind right before finding that Shor and his group were okay, "When my group and I came back from facing the Toxin Croak, I'll admit I was worried when I heard that nobody heard anything from you guys, and the scouts that were sent to find you didn't come back either. So, I am relieved to see that you guys are here. But right before coming here, I realized something..."

She took in a deep breath, and she continued "Someone once said that with great power comes great responsibility. Everyone, even my friends, seem to look to me as a leader to make the final decision as of late. When I heard that there was no news from you guys, I felt scared. I worried that I might have made the wrong decision and accidentally sent you guys to your deaths. Thankfully, that's not the case, but still...I guess I'm used to people looking at me and just dismissing me as just another person who doesn't know anything and turning to someone else for the decision. Now that people are looking to me, I'm doing my best for everyone. Even though so far everything has worked out well, I'm still scared that I might make one wrong decision and get a friend killed. Just one wrong decision would be all that it would take," 

She found that once she started talking, it was hard to stop herself from pouring out all of these feelings. And this was only what was on the surface...
