[quote=@Visyn]Her hands paused in looking over the pictures. She raised her head slightly, her eyes moving to Engel and giving him the glare of his life. How dare he. [color=7bcdc8]"Excuse me?"[/color] She looked up further, slamming the pictures down on the table. [color=7bcdc8]"We walk into this house, [i]with blood on the floor and the weapon[/i] and you expect me to not look into a possible death; despite the couple being gone for 30 years."[/color] She blew out harsh air, jaw clenching lightly. [color=7bcdc8]"And then you have the [b]audacity[/b] to accuse me of [i]wanting to steal[/i] from said probably dead couple."[/color]

Was [b]everyone[/b] trying to piss her off today? First the.. weird stalker creepy guy and now the large armored tank of a man. She clicked her tongue angrily, standing straight. She crossed her arms, glaring at Engelbert again. [color=7bcdc8]"You've known me for a possible 5 hours and the first thing you ask me is if I'm going to steal.. I don't think in all my time as an adventurer the first thing someone accused me of, was stealing."[/color] She shook her head, closing her eyes as she was trying to calm down. Gods, this trip was going to be a nightmare if she was going to get angry at everyone.. At least Tillius seemed nice..

Fierce one, wasn't she? Engelbert raised his hands halfway up, palm forward in a placating gesture. The righteous fury was frankly adorable, and one that he very much approved of. The lines between adventurers and opportunistic brigands were unfortunately thin these days.

[b][color=#4269E2]"I apologize, I meant no offense."[/color][/b] Said the knight, jolly as always. [b][color=#4269E2]"It is an issue that I see arising way too often-"[/color][/b] He paused as the latest addition to the party quipped, tone dropping into a monotonous flat.

	Introductions were cut short as an elven woman descended the stairs with an arm full of trinkets. Fia stood up and wandered near the table the elf placed them, curious to what was found. “Ooh. Are we looting the place already? Don’t mind if I do.” said Fia as she gazed over the various items. Mainly keepsakes by the look of it, they were in very good condition for how long the house had been abandoned.

	Engelbert spoke up about the items, and Fia couldn’t help but grin. “Oh, how noble of you, lovely. Looking out for the sweet and vulnerable. Very admirable.” Fia said sweetly. She looked over to the elf who had brought down the items, then back up at the heavily armored knight, "though I don't think that was the correct thing to say."

[b][color=#4269E2]"-as you can see."[/color][/b] He finished with an exasperated sigh, stealing a glance to the expedition leader. If anyone can wrangle her, it'd be Vesemir. Though it seemed like the older elf was busy being miserably wet, no assistance coming from that end anytime soon.

Shaking his head and pushing the thought to the corner of his mind, Engelbert finally took a closer look at the collection of trinkets. Looked expensive, but that's about it. And then he looked at the photograph, and went perfectly still for five seconds.

Then he straightened, scooted over to the Gray Flame, and pulled the masked elf to the back corridor where a series of pointed whispers were muffled by the backdrop of heavy rain.
