	The naga had been partway into explaining the nature of Manticores and how she had encountered one when a commotion broke out around the Princess & the Knight Captain. Mari tensed as an expletive pierced the general murmur of the crowd. [color=c4df9b][i]Gillian by the sound of the voice, what?...[/i][/color]

	[color=c4df9b][i]...And that's the Captain.[/i][/color] Momentarily turning back towards Violette, Mari bobs her head as some sort of apology. [color=c4df9b]"Duty calls, excuse me."[/color] In one smooth motion, the naga twists around and darts through crowd towards the main group, quarterstaff tucked tight to her side. Slithering into the circle, Mari promptly sizes up the situation. [color=c4df9b][i]One assassin, plenty of rattled nerves, but nothing more.[/i][/color] Sidling up to Gerard and the would-be assassin, the naga slips her staff between them and helps pin down the Nem. [color=c4df9b]"I'm reasonably familiar with the Nem, so I can handle this one if you would keep an eye for any more trouble."[/color] She says, frowning slightly as she notes the would-be assassin's complete lack of noise. [color=c4df9b][i]A mute? Or perhaps some sort of silencing spell? Either way, that could be problematic...[/i][/color]
