It wasn't an unfamiliar sight, one all too inevitable with the many who saw a monster before they saw the paladin. It was more than a little disappointing when it was one of the knights though; when had she ever done anything to harm them? "I have some basic advice in future: if you don't want to deal with the politics, look for the children and the young adults and avoid anyone with titles. Even if they're trying, it won't be very good." All this between the lines talking was getting annoying, though. She could understand it through experience but... really, couldn't people be a little more blunt? "Don't worry about Velbrance. He was just another idiot looking to trap the captain into claiming she was stronger than Elionne and it's not the first time something like this has been tried. The nobility is always trying to find a way to have one of their puppets installed in the position." "If he wants to get back at me for a little roughness, he's welcome to try. Nobody is going to back him up against the entire order for being made to look stupid and [i]none[/i] of these people scare me." [@jdh97]
