During this back and forth, Flicker had remained in a defensive stance, their eyes darting between Nanna May, her two elven lackeys and occasionally, whoever else in the group was speaking at that moment. They were very relieved that their party were here to ask the questions, they certainly wouldn't have the patience for it. However, when Nanna May brought up what the cultists had done to the hunter, Flicker couldn't help but speak up. [color=f7941d]"I mean, that doesn't even really prove anything. In the heat of battle, you can end up doing a lot more harm than you intended to."[/color]  With the hand that wasn't holding the flame in front of them, Flicker pointed with a thumb towards the door of the tower. [color=f7941d]"For example, those two poor bastards outside? We wanted to take one alive."[/color] Anyone who was looking at Flicker at that moment would have noticed their eyes dart briefly in the direction of Aura, not sure if she even caught or heard that comment given her current state. [color=f7941d]"Things can get real screwy in battle real fast, is what I'm saying. You're gonna need more proof than just that to convince us that these idiots needed to die."[/color] They paused before glancing over at the two injured cultists. [color=f7941d]"No offense,"[/color] they added quickly.
