While the half-giant was almost certainly more of a threat to her than the mercenary leader, the Naga was confident in Tyaethe's ability to handle such an opponent. The mountain of a man seemed like the unique kind of opponent that the first and youngest would find most interesting to fight. Or at least, that's what Mari hopped was the case. Casually sliding a little too close to The Shark, the Naga lazily circled Anette, her tail beginning to form a circle around the Merc. [color=c4df9b]"You know, you still haven't told us why you're here in the first place. A prominent mercenary, this far into the kingdom, the situation being what it is..."[/color] The Knight Serpenta paused for a moment, gesturing to the carnage around them. [color=c4df9b]"...does not inspire trust."[/color] She finished in a hard tone, arms crossed as she had Anette loosely encircled. Letting the threat sit for a few moments, Maritza shrugged and began to break off. [color=c4df9b]"Fortunately for you, I'm not the one giving orders. That being said, [b][i]she's[/i][/b] the one who's patience you don't want to test."[/color] The Naga added, casually nodding towards Tyaethe as she moved away to inspect another corpse. [color=c4df9b][i]...Let her mull that one over. Hopefully someone with a far more silvery tongue than I can coax some answers out of her...[/i][/color]
