[color=ed1c24]"Perfect. It will save a lot of time on explanations."[/color] Catherine said with a satisfied smile as she looked to Srikandi, after she mentioned her surname.

It seems the famous 'Ksatria Naga' knew exactly who she was. While she did vaguely remember working with Srikandi in Gremarre once, it was just a single time and Catherine didn't care to remember about it. When Srikandi asked about the Gremarrian Academic Society, inquiring if they would pay for any collateral damage, Catherine couldn't help but let out an amused laugh.

[color=ed1c24]"The Gremarrian Academic Society? Hah! Those decrepit, envious old men would rather see me hanged instead of lifting a single finger to help me."[/color] Catherine said in an amused tone.

[color=ed1c24]"The ones I'm working for are just a bit more powerful and influential than the Academic Society... People who have a lot more at stake with the meteor, given it's potential to shift the power balance between the kingdoms of Friestan than a bunch of scholars, worried only about their own names, their fame and their pride."[/color] Catherine said with a mischievous smirk. While she didn't really say who she was working for, it wouldn't be that hard for Srikandi to figure it out if she thought a bit about it. It was almost as if Catherine only didn't say it out loud in order to make her think.

Turning her attention towards Anki, Catherine got surprised seeing her greetings and introductions being made with such politeness and a pure smile, without any malice. Catherine couldn't decide if she thought of Anki as naive or someone who refused to judge others solely based on rumors, but it was refreshing meeting someone like that for a change. Catherine was tired of meeting people who were either too envious, proud or were unable to hide their fake smiles and their ulterior motives. Honest people were very hard to come by, especially for someone with Catherine's talents.

[color=ed1c24]"The pleasure is all mine, Anki. You can call me just Catherine."[/color] She said with a small bow towards Anki.

Just as she finished greeting Anki, Catherine heard the knocks on the door before it opened, revealing the fourth member of their team. Standing at over six feet tall, the half orc had a strong presence, which only became stronger thanks to the tattoos and piercings, gaving him a wild and tough appearance.

[color=ed1c24]"It seems one more member has arrived to our little 'party'."[/color] Catherine said, nodding to the half-orc as he entered the room.
