[color=00a651]"Then go!"[/color] 

The lack of tonality in her statement should reflect the direness of the situation, but somehow Jazdia didn't view it as such, but rather, Matilda sounded more like a pouting child who felt being left out alone while the other siblings partaking in some wonderous activity. 

The elf walked closer. The value of Matilda's life was not her immediate priority, nor something she intended to address, but if it can go both ways, why not? 

[b][color=00a651]"Bring him back safely, I'm counting on you."[/color][/b] The orc tilted her head with great difficulty, meeting Jazdia eye to eye. [b][color=00a651]"And if the opportunity present itself, do pay the dead back in kind would you?"[/color][/b]

[color=ec008c]"You are giving your trust to a snake,"[/color] Jazdia said, it was a solemn whisper, yet sounded like a threatening hiss. [color=ec008c]"And you will witness the meaning of my words sooner than you could have imagined. And You will not be able to resist."[/color]

She let the others speak about the matter first. Kaito suggested securing a cart to bring Matilda back to the castle while the others take a breather. Solomon agreed with his plan and expressed his concern for Matilda's well-being. 

For a moment, the doctor paused. The shadow he planted on Matilda revealed itself, apparently bearing information about opposition in Pesti that had organized some unfruitful search on their tails. Just like what Jazdia had predicted. 

“Dawn breaks--" 

The ancient spirit spoke again. Good news, really, though Jazdia had a hard time imagining what had become the gates and walls of Fanghorn right now. She now feared that their biggest obstacle would not be about how to deal with the enemies inside, but rather how to get in instead. If those in Fanghorn fortified themself and the place became impenetrable, that would render this operation into a deadlock.  

[color=ec008c]"You will see the payback yourself."[/color] she said to Matilda, then to everyone else, she announced resolutely. [color=ec008c]"We will bring Matilda to Fanghorn, and see if they are despicable enough to violate the sacred hospitality." [/color]

Jazdia glanced at Matilda again and smiled. [color=ec008c]"See? I told you." [/color]
