[color=DEB887]"..... Once more, I will have to agree with Ms. Catherine."[/color] Anki said, also in Common. [color=DEB887]"I just told you that I am under the impression that this Almira is lying to us about herself, Srikandi. And even if she isn't, she's definitely not being forthcoming. Furthermore, it indeed seems like she is not seeing us as her equals, what's with one-sidedly deciding to take the dragon's remains for themselves despite us being the one that killed it, while on the other hand refusing to grant Ms. Catherine's request in return. So either lying or concealing information, and on top of that behaving like swindlers. No, I will not be able to trust them, not in good faith. Besides, it had become evident that they do not really trust us either. Thus, I unfortunately cannot share your belief that there is no potential for betrayal, Srikandi. On the other hand, I believe there are plenty. We are walking to the unknown with a group of unknowns whom intention is also unknown, after all."[/color] Her expression as she talked remained neutral, as if she was simply stating the facts.

[color=DEB887]"Thus, I am against going with this vehicle of theirs. And I strongly advise against doing so for the rest of you as well."[/color] Concluding her words, she proceeded to look at her companions, as if awaiting for their opinions on the matter. As for herself, she had made her reluctance to trust or deal with the strangers very clear. As curious as she was about them, she was not keen on going along with whatever they said.
