[center][h1][color=ff5000][b]Renar Hagen[/b][/color][/h1][/center] Renar resisted the urge to sigh. It had been worth a shot, though he would have liked some kind of insight in how to deal with the First and Youngest. Ah, well. Really, what had he been expecting? Some magical solution that would fix all of this? A beat passed. They were [i]in[/i] a magical solution fixing their lack of adequate training for the challenges ahead. So perhaps it wasn't completely unreasonable to think of the matter as such. But that didn't mean he should have expected anything. [color=ff5000][b]"I'll take your word for it, then."[/b][/color] He said in response to Edwin before nodding to Parvan. [color=ff5000][b]"And none taken. You're correct, after all. Though I was largely trying to use her as a measuring stick against which how far I had left to go. Quite a ways, as it turns out."[/b][/color] They continued on to wherever the hell Edwin was leading them. [color=ff5000][b]"While we're walking, care to brief me on what we're doing once we arrive? Or will surprise be more effective?"[/b][/color] For all his disdain of Edwin on a personal level, it couldn't be said that Renar wasn't capable of being entirely professional when there was something to be gained.
