Brynan leaned slightly towards Nathaniel, her own height nearly matching his. [color=c03f7b]"I don't know why the king has chosen to trust you, spellcaster,"[/color] she said lowly. [color=c03f7b]"But make no mistake, your flowery words don't fool me. I'll be watching you."[/color]

With that she straightened and turned to address the room in general. [color=c03f7b]"My name is Brynan Ianyre, and first and foremost I am the chief bodyguard to the king. While it's my responsibility to keep him safe, it's also my duty to oversee the safety of his family. The prince ... He was taken because I wasn't there to stop it."[/color] Emotion welled up in her voice - a mixture of anger and shame. But she continued, speaking more to herself than anyone else. [color=c03f7b]"I have no interest in being the one to lead you. All that matters is seeing this mission through to its end and returning the prince to his family. If that means working together, so be it. I am ... gladdened by your presence."[/color] She finished somewhat awkwardly, unaccustomed to expressing herself in such a way.

Crossing her arms, she stood back and scowled at the world in general while she listened to the others say their piece.[/indent]
