Aya was flicking through some scrap pieces of paper. [color=f7941d]"All these boo-hoo letters to loved ones. We're not actually expected to deliver this crap, are we? I mean, unlike those guys, I actually have a life. I have things to do." [/color] She dropped down into a crouch next to their commander. It was a squat much like a frogs, her elbows on her knees. 

	[color=f7941d]"What do you think, Boss?" [/color] She cupped her ear. [color=f7941d]"...Y'know, there's some benefits to him being like this, now. For one: no more shitty ideas. We didn't even get to kill that Phaendor guy. If I ever see another skeleton warrior again, I quit. I mean, that was baloney. How the hell am I supposd to slit the throat of a skeleton? I can't."[/color] She stopped picking her teeth with her dagger and holstered it. 

	She ran a hand through her short brown hair. Then she popped up into a standing position. [color=f7941d]"I think I'd make a good leader. It can't be Anslem. What, swap out one grumpy 'experienced' merc for another? No thanks. Can't be Oliver, he's completely delusional. It can't be Victor because..."[/color] She trailed off. [color=f7941d]"Well, that one's obvious." [/color] She was talking like nobody else was in the room- or maybe she was talking loudly to herself. Or perhaps every time she talked, she was talking to everyone in the room except for the person she was talking about. 

	[color=f7941d]"And it can't be Humphrey because- actually, well, hmm." [/color]She glanced at the door to the cistern Humphrey had claimed. [color=f7941d]"We'll put a pin in that. It could be Humphrey. His last name is what he is."[/color] Aya mused. Then, she clapped her hands together and galloped over to a treasure chest, picking up some weird looking artifact and occupying herself with it.

	[color=f7941d]"So, that's the vote. Me, or Humphrey. But he's indisposed at the moment, sleeping, so he's a no-show for the vote, which makes me the leader. Yeah, I think that all works out. First decree as leader- no more skeletons unless they're wrapped up in living meat!"[/color] She pointed into the air.
