[h2][center]Gillian[/center][/h2] [i]Interacting with:[/i] [@VitaVitaAR][@Raineh Daze][@PaulHaynek][@FlappyTheSpybot] Gillian blinked owlishly at Fanilly's....far too nice reproach of his usurping of her authority. It took him a moment for it to register that she was attempting to 'discipline' him, though the act had all the intimidation of a small blonde puppy growling its tiny heart out. [color=00aeef]"Of course...Captain."[/color] He said, trying to square his features and take the adorable 'dressing down' with some degree of seriousness, albeit struggling to contain the amused grin poking its way through the mask. To be fair to the girl, she'd probably have had some measure of success with that if he were anybody else. Unfortunately, she had yet to learn how insufferable Reliquaries (well, him and Parnella more specifically) could be at times. Tyaethe thankfully saved him from an impending giggle fit with the somber news of the shard having long since vacated the premises. Via divine intervention no less.[color=00aeef]"Still sounds like we need to search the keep then."[/color] Gillian said glumly as she finished her explanation. [color=00aeef]"I can track as well, but like Maritza said, does us fuck all kinds of good without a direction. Humans and the like are easy to find in the woods, not as careful as animals."[/color] He said, more by way of explaining for Jarde and Fanilly's benefit as he knew little of their respective training in the subject. [color=00aeef]"Damn easy to track, especially if they're in a hurry or injured. But if they took a road, unless they're a special kind of stupid, not likely to be any signs we can safely attribute to them. Flat dirt tells us nothing."[/color] he said. It was one of those things most nobles would never actually learn. Roads were pounded flat when they were made to keep grasses from taking root and hiding the trail, and maintained that way through healthy amounts of traffic. There weren't signs TO find, unless it was a very large force which seemed unlikely. With an annoyed sigh the knight stretches, several loud pops echoing from his back. [color=00aeef]"The upshot is that atleast whatever caused this wont cause chaos in our ranks while we search."[/color] he huffed, looking to Fanilly. [color=00aeef]"Me, Maritza and..."[/color] He paused, sparing a glance to Jarde. [color=00aeef]"Billbert can go check the surrounding trails for something, if you want Captain. But I can pretty much promise its a waste of time."[/color]
