All this talk of Sasuke being a spy and that he was not to be trusted was getting on Axley's nerves. She knew the mercenary. While he carried an excellent blade, she knew his moral compass pointed mostly north. He was a little too thick to pull off a convincing spy routine, and for him to actively choose to work for the enemy would require some incredibly dark magic indeed. She trusted Sasuke to beat the snot out of anyone foolish enough to try such a thing on him. Had Snow gone on for very much longer, Axley would have given him the stare of death. She nearly cast it Fergus's way as well when he seemed to agree that it was right to be suspicious, but luckily, in her eyes, logic and sense won out and trust was extended forward. She left the men to their grandstanding for a moment, sighing as she went over to where Cilia had been standing and stood beside her in silence for a moment. 

Only after a moment's quiet did she shake her head and sigh. [color=f6989d]"Men."[/color] The single word brought a sigh of annoyance. [color=f6989d]"Everything's a conspiracy to them, I swear..."[/color] She rolled her eyes and stared into the water with her friend. So much had happened in a day. Pain, suffering, and strange reunitings, all brought about by the cataclysm that had destroyed what Axley was now intent on calling the Imperial Rubble. It seemed she wasn't allowed to live anywhere she went; still, at least she could find use in at least being a messenger. Perhaps then she might be offered refuge and the long, painful journey from noble to peasant could [i]finally[/i] reach its close. She'd fallen so far in just two years...if she couldn't stop it herself, surely someone else could help, right?

Her internal monologue over, she rested a hand on Cilia's shoulder for a moment, glad she at least had her friends to help her cope in these incredibly difficult times. There was always a smiling face to help her anchor herself and keep thinking straight; she might not have said it to their faces, but she would be eternally grateful that they still survived to this day. Glancing back to the men, it had appeared they were finally getting along. [color=f6989d]"If you guys are done bickering, we should probably not waste any more daylight. Who knows when the undead horde starts shambling our way again?"[/color] Axley pointed out the urgency of their movement before turning to Cilia. [color=f6989d]"Let's get them to keep up. If they get to fighting again we'll never get there."[/color]
