[center][h2]Torsten[/h2][/center] [hr] [color=00a651]"Be not alarmed, young magician; I am only in jest."[/color] the prominent figure muttered out, looking at the others, [color=00a651]"But it looks as if we have a diverse cast in the greater game of life."[/color] His hands lifted to slowly move from person to person, leaving the hand momentarily before moving to the next. [color=00a651]" Trails of life have met in one spot, with commonality in the loss. Fate has brought us together under the guise of our host. We shall learn his wishes soon, but let us first calm this one down for now."[/color] His hand slowly moved to the tiny woman before him as she was at his side, patting her head gently as he moved past poor Dorothea, [color=00a651]"She likely has not left her studies in some time and is new to the world. It will be toughest for her, but..."[/color] Torsten's eyes moved to lock onto the woman with red hair. His face went almost to like stone, and in a much more severe and lower tone, [color=00a651]"I heard some of your words before I entered... my hearing is much better than my eyesight Lady Faline, there are many young here, most of those here are inexperienced. By your shock at the mouse lady's appearance in our presence, you may be as well... But, we are here together now... We are here for a reason, and we will likely have many trials and tribulations in front of us. Our fates are here tied together; I hope that what is in front of us is something we can survive." [/color] The man's face brightened as he slowly made his way to any form of the seat, and likely the largest form of a comfortable seat in the room, sitting himself down with a thump. [color=00a651]"But while we wait, we should enjoy ourselves and get to know each other, and again, calm down the poor mage; she looks like she is going to have a heart attack, and while I can save her from that fate, I don't think you all can carry me to wherever we are going."
