Ria listened to Leon as he went on about the locations. She liked hearing him talk about Era, and his experiences there. Maybe when they were done with the latest rebellion at the school, they could spend a bit of time there. Surely Leon wanted to spend a bit of time with some of his old school friends, and she certainly wouldn't mind spending time browsing the shops. If that store had something that might interest Lavinia like Leon suggested, perhaps it would be worth checking out. Lavina was always looking for something good to read, and perhaps there were recipe books Zenith hadn't read before and things on Fae language she could find for Leon, and...

The sound of shattering glass helped pull Ria's attention from the thoughts swirling through her head. She blinked, watching the child sized robot as it bounced from activating next to Zenith to running over to the crowd near the board. Peculiar. Even for a guild that had the lively characters they had it was odd. 

But it seemed harmless and Asher could very well handle a machine if it got dangerous. A slight shrug put a smile back on the water mage's face and her attention returned to Leon. "[color=Aqua]Well, the flier says we need to touch base Harvard's thought projection on the University Belt, so we should start there. But perhaps you should call your friend and make sure they are willing and able to help us understand the current state of things from a student's perspective as well. A rebellion is likely different than what a professor or teacher believes it to be, and students are more directly affected than staff. Plus, if you know who the people are and what magic they have, we might be able to plan out a strategy. [i]However[/i][/color] - " she stressed the word - "[color=Aqua]I think going in as a force of diplomacy, even if people recognize you and whatever negative connotations that may bring, will be better for the school grounds and students within in the long run. We should only resort to violence if that is the only course of action.[/color]" 

It wasn't just because she was leery about being the combative one between the two, though there was that. Ria preferred trying to resolve this peacefully. If they had powerful or dangerous magic, and it came to a fight, it could cause damage to the school and the buildings around it. Any fight of any level could potentially injure bystanders, and that was a risk she desired to avoid. The best outcome would be through diplomacy. The second best would be having support from people also concerned about the well being of others to help keep the area clear of any potential innocents getting injured.
