Reinhardt removed his helm; tucking it neatly under his arm as he'd walk alongside Vyrell through the town, his face held firmly in his usual cold neutrality. [Color=darkorange]"Spare me the hollow praise Vyrell. I simply performed as required in the situation. Nothing more."[/color] the knight responded bluntly as his gaze swept over the hustle and bustle of the townsfolk as they gradually returned to their usual routines, [color=darkorange]"While I likely could've handled the beast myself,  our fortifications or more importantly; the settlement itself, would've sustained an unacceptable level of damage from the engagement... Fortunately the others; despite any shortcomings of temperament or otherwise, have proven adequate thus far in dispatching any threats that come our way."[/color]

From there the two continued in silence until arriving upon the steps of the keep, where Vyrell would speak once more-- causing Reinhardt's deliberate gait to abruptly halt. [color=darkorange]"No-"[/color] the knight replied; his jaw tightly clenched as his gaze fell to the ground, [color=darkorange]"I have not heard from her."[/color]

Elias' head turned slighty; just enough to keep the half-elf in his periphery as he'd then ask a question of his own, [color=darkorange]"And what of your own assessment? Do you think she's in danger? Or..."[/color] the man paused, almost hesitating to even entertain the idea he was about to mention, [color=darkorange]"Has her Curse claimed her sanity?"[/color]
