Leonidas listened to Balthazar's update and it unnerved him a bit. A few times he wanted to butt in but the Prince held his tongue and let his advisor speak. When Balthazar had finished Leonidas sat silent for a moment thinking. "[color=fff200][b]... I... I agree we can't leave this city and split our forces as is. Things don't add up here and I don't want to leave these people on their own. We will see to these greenskins and after that we can take the royal guard and investigate.[/b][/color]" He said finally Leonidas knew what he wanted to do, but his duty to his people outweighed his selfish desires. "[color=fff200][b]Thank you for informing me though, please let me know if something comes up. Otherwise I bid you a good night. Lets hope the scouting missions turn up something actionable by the morning.[/b][/color]" He said before giving a nod to Balthazar and seeing himself out of the room. After his meeting with Balthazar Leonidas swiftly returned to his room. He would have to sort himself out and be ready to give 100% to the battle the next morning. ---- Fullar hung on every word Rudolph said taking it all in. It was hard to read his reaction as Rudolph listed off the members of the royal guard at least until after he finished. "[color=6ecff6][b]Sounds like an interesting group of characters. And even a Drow you say...? Tell me do they have that Majestic Beauty that I've heard about from Elves? Think I would have a shot with her?[/b][/color]" Fullar asked dead faced. "[color=6ecff6][b]You gotta set me up man, It's a once in a lifetime opportunity. Especially in the Empire[/b][/color]" he continued as they walked with a big grin on his face. "[color=6ecff6][b]You don't seem to phased by it though, thought you hated Drow like everyone else around here?[/b][/color]" Fullar continued to prod as they walked. "[color=6ecff6][b]You know it has been a while, I got a good vintage stashed at the barracks we should sit and share the bottle pass around some stories how's that sound?[/b][/color]" He said finally just as the two were making it to the Barracks. ---- Elizabeth's grip on Acrius' arm tightened and she gave a little squeak as he "promised" to protect her. For a moment he thought his arm was going to snap before the pressure was released a bit. "[color=f49ac2][b]I can't believe it I'm going to have a great knight protecting me![/b][/color]" She squeaked out and as Acrius gave his options a grin came over her face. A grin that quickly turned to a frown as she saw Faira approaching. "[color=f49ac2][b]He didn't "Beat up" anyone He was demonstrating his martial prowess for us new recruits[/b][/color]" Elizabeth answered for Acrius. [color=f49ac2][b][i]This woman, why is she always around... She doesn't like Acrius does she?[/i][/b][/color] Elizabelth thought to herself before returning to a cheery disposition. "[color=f49ac2][b]Acrius was about to give me some Private tutoring on my technique. I'm sure someone of your caliber can hold your own so please let us continue.[/b][/color]" She said in a very passive aggressive tone to Faira.
