She certainly had an effect on people. Fatima had her respect, but it was clear she had these men's- Dunny seemed to put it best. They get very snarly. Daren looked at Thom and Dunny and nodded.[color=c4df9b] "You're probably right. I'm gonna get involved."[/color] Dareen looked over her shoulder at Thom, briefly making eye contact, before walking into the brewing confrontation. Exhaling, Dareen took steps into the cave and came more clearly into view of the confrontation. Mikhail and Jandar had there backs to her. There was a fire inbetween them and a Warlord Prince, who's back was against the wall. Fatima was in his grasp, but she didn't seem like she was being kidnapped. Dareen appeared in Fatima's vision, a little farther back, and between Jandar and Mikhail. The energy in here was different. Everyone here was wrapped up in something. It was beginning to feel like her and the little ones were the only level-headed people here. Fortunately, Jandar and Mikhail seemed to be cool negotiators, even under pressure. She heard the tail-end of Fatima's apology. But it was kind of hard not to be a little worried when there was a dangerous looking man with his arms wrapped around her. Dareen sought eye contact with Fatima and shrugged pointedly, eyes widening. 'Well?' her facial expression said. The stranger seemed very violent, but protective of Fatima. Which was strange, because that was supposed to be [i]their[/i] job. [color=c4df9b]"We're good here, right? Pretty sure we're all on the same team."[/color] Dareen wagered, wading into the whirlpool with her words.
