[quote=Azariah][color=6ecff6]"So... what led you to accept this invitation to almost certain death? Ehem. How rude of me... I'm Azariah Kravchenko. I supposed we're for the same thing... and if that's the case, it would be better to get to know each other..."[/color][/quote]

To say the least, Nakala was caught off guard by the small fellow that decided to make conversation with her. If she had to be completely honest with herself; she was hardly paying any attention to the other people who entered the tent as (so far) they seemed completely unremarkable to the woman. Though, to address this fellow, she had to look down because she had nearly a foot and a half on him! It was almost funny, but Nakala wasn't in the mood to crack a smile or some display of emotion that'd make her appear [i]weak[/i]. Naturally, Nakala keeps her face stoic as she replied, short and sweet. 

[color=forestgreen]"I am [i]Nakala,[/i] it is... nice to meet you,"[/color] The woman introduced herself before she held her tongue at revealing the exact nature of just [i]why[/i] she's here. It was just not something that she was willing to share, far too personal. Far too private. [color=forestgreen]"I am just a wandering warrior looking for a home to finally settle."[/color] It was likely not [i]that[/i] convincing, but one couldn't fault Nakala for lying because, from a certain point of view, [i]it was no lie[/i].

However, some red-haired woman ran up and began fumbling over the map... Nakala raised an eyebrow as the display was probably enough to alleviate some of the awkwardness in her own interactions with Azariah. However, it just kept getting more and more [i]strange[/i] as some loon came in singing, and another girl with a massive crossbow and didn't look all that happy to be there wasn't too far away from him - which honestly was the least strange thing about how this tent got.

One of those insects... The Gi-Syn-Yi. Nakala vividly remembers killing a few during her time as a gladiator - Nakala knows that they are fragile without their shells, and killing them is elementary. This was not something that she was going to mention, as the insect came in giggling like it had [i]something[/i] up its sleeve. Nakala narrows her eyes, and [i]another[/i] fool starts laughing along with it.

Then some moron ups everyone by bringing their horse into the tent, as if it wasn't cramped enough in there.

As this scene became more and more of a circus, Nakala found it harder and harder to keep quiet. The lone traveler's hands drifted upwards towards that hood that she was awfully tempted to pull up. Only so that she could bare her teeth in peace. She threw it over her head as the representative was getting annoyed herself.

"That is enough!" The representative called out... primarily to Hazel as she yanked the map away from her and then announced. "Enough listen up because the Queen wishes to see all of you in person. And she will throw you off of Exusia if you annoy her. And by that, I mean literally." 

The lady shook her head as she looked around the room that got awfully quiet and sighed, "My name is [i]Tisa Iruve[/i] and I am the Queen's representative for this quest that she has put out..." She mumbled something underneath her breath but it was next to impossible to discern. She shook her head as she said, "She wants to meet all of you in person to discuss the terms of the deal... which means that you will be teleported up into Exusia. However, when you get up there, we will relinquish any weaponry or any materials you can use to cast a spell until your time there is up."

Tisa looked among the group as she added,

"Is everyone okay with that? These terms cannot be negotiated."
