Ashara was relieved to hear that her superior was unharmed and, apparently, unphazed by the sudden appearance of a strong presence that rivaled their own power. Most averagely observant people however, would likely have picked up on Kath's comment about the [i]stalker[/i] being little, ergo, Kath had actually [i]seen[/i] who the aura belonged to. Unfortunately, as Ashara was neither particular observant, nor prone to prying or prodding her peers for information, this valuable aseet of intel was going to go to waste, for now.

"That is good to hear. When I noticed the aura, I was worried it might have been something hostile that was targetting you while I was away. My apologies, milady, I will try not to stray too far from your side in the future." Ashara apologized, bowing her head and looking both concerned and upset.

After all, Kath was more than just her travelling companion, she was the irreplacable librarian and CHapter Keeper who held the knowledge of over a thousand tomes! If something were to happen to her, much more so while under Ashara's supposed protection, the fox could only imagine the consequences of her negligience. This was, after all, very different from her past duties of simply patrolling the halls of the chateau. Where once she could leisurely stroll, at her own pace, and only interfere when necessary, this duty wass far more hands-on, and required far more paying attention... Something that sadly wasn't the forte of the spirit fox. Luckily, for the time being, Kath was unharmed and well, which at least was a comfort in the department of concerns.

Still though, first Lady Chuunitrixx singing and now Lord Graft's distracting head-messaging? It seemed their allies back at the castle had no intention of simply letting them go about doing their mission without interference or distractions. The raven-haired beauty sighed. She also made it a point when doing her work back in the day, to stay out of the way of the Chapter Keepers' and their minions' way while working. She never interupted or made a huge scene to garner attention or any such... So why was it that the rest of them were so uncouth and incapable of showing restraint? Really, they had no manners at all!

With a bit of inner monologuing to herself done, Ashara turned back to Kath, speaking in a lower tone, in case prying ears were trying to listen in on the two pretty ladies and their private conversation.

"Milady, if I may suggest something. I believe we should begin our withdrawal and return to the Chateau." She said, calm but serious. "I do not believe we will learn much more by lingering here. I have watched, talked to and observed the locals here, and I believe there is little more we can gain by staying here longer... Unless there is something you yourself have uncovered?, milady? " Ashara stated and asked, tilting her head sideways to emphasize her query. "If not, we should avoid inviting the owner of [i]that[/i] presence to catch us off-guard again, and leave before they actually try something foolish." She finished, looking over her shoulder before straightening her posture a bit.
