When Pylia covered her mouth with her hand, she thought about licking Pylia's hand to get her to get it off of her mouth. She thought better and decided not to. Sylvia tried to hold back her laughter, but she wasn't doing a good job of that. She commented "Oh, it's okay Pylia! There's no need to be so embarrassed, ya [i]tsundere[/i]," She enjoyed the moment while it lasted, because even though it seemed okay for now, she knew deep down that war was hell, and they were about to go through what is probably the most difficult part. And she was not wrong. The mood shifted and everyone was serious, and her mood changed with it. She spotted Green Eyes, the crocodile she and her group rescued, with Longstrider riding atop the crocodile. When she spotted Shor, she gave a serious nod back. She noticed where they were, and she listened as Shortfang and Longstrider. As she listened she thought about the history and its connection to the present. No wonder the cultists would choose to take this place first! If the kobolds could see the dragon coming from here, then they would probably be able to warn the town in time. If the cultists had this place, then it meant when the dragon came, Gransys would be a sitting duck. She could hear the bitterness and regret in Longstrider's voice. She muttered "We'll get this place back..." She could see the fortress walls 1000 feet away and seeing the siege weapons was kind of intimidating. She listened as Shor explained their strengths and weaknesses, and in response, the kobolds set up fortifications in no time. She was surprised as well, and she commented after the kobolds finished, "Impressive!" She nodded in agreement when Longstrider said that it was time to take back their home. She paid apt attention as Shor and Longstrider gave her and her friends' mission: Open the gates for the troops and cause as much chaos as possible so that they might reach the leader. She nodded at the plan, though she was a bit nervous with how close this passage was to the defensive wall. Were they going to be able to sneak by? When Shor asked if they could do this, she answered him, "Yeah. We can do that. Leave it to us!" As she answered, she rolled her shoulders and cracked her neck, preparing her body for a fight. She might be a bit nervous, but she wasn't going to let Shor and Longstrider down now. They had to do this. There was no going back! People were trusting her and her friends. She commented in thought over the plan, "If we can, we'll see if we can dismantle the siege weapons as well. Nothing adds extra chaos quite like technical difficulties," Plus, she had a feeling that doing so may lessen casualties. She then told Shor, "We're ready when you are," She then looked back at her friends, Pylia, Shortfang, and Buddy, and she asked "Right, guys?"
