BlackBerry was not entirely happy with Lizbeths; he had instead been hoping for something along the lines of: "Very well I shall wait up here until you all say its fine to come down". But he had expected that to have been a rather remote possibility and was more than pleased to hear she would at least wait behind them all 

He simply nodded at her response. [color=00aeef]"If that is your choice then so be."[/color] It was his turn to tilt his head slight as he looked at Lizbeth and noticed how much she had changed, beyond her immediate physical appearance. [color=00aeef]"My I must say that you have changed some since when we first met, Young Lizbeth. No doubt, you shall make a marvellous adventurer in due time."[/color]

It was odd to think that the young frightened girl he had met, cowering in fear, barely a season ago now stood before him ready and armed to boldly face whatever fate may have ready for her. He momentarily wondered if she was a a bit too bold at this point, but again he couldn't blame her for her eagerness given the situation.

Blackberry momentarily wondered if she was humouring him.

Despite this thought he let her go to finish arranging with Kosara and Victoria her next lot of training which would undoubtedly take up the few remaining hours of free time she had left. He hoped she wouldn't forego sleeping or eating. His mind then promptly reminded him of Lizbeths current condition, he gnawed at the thought as he did his cheek. Just because Lizbeth could forgo sleeping and eating it did not meant she should; she was still a growing girl. The Matrons at home had hammered into him how important it was to eat all your vegetables, and not just the sweets, especially when you were young and still growing. Admittedly he himself hadn't listened to them nearly as much as he should have.

While the kettle boiled away, he busied himself gathering extra cups and saucers alongside the usual sugar, honey, and a bit of milk for those who wanted any. Possible undead family curses or not they had a guest who had been promised tea (or something stronger). Almost pleasantly the kettle had began to wobble on its hook, a prelude to its shriek, just as BlackBerry had located another clean cup and saucers to join the mismatched collection on a tray.

Lady Kathryn shouted from below and somehow over the kettles shriek.

In his rush to rejoin the other BlackBerry nearly grabbed the kettle with his bare hand as he sought to take it off the flame.

[color=00aeef]"Down in a moment Lady Kathryn!" [/color]He bellowed down the stairs, and then turned back to face the others, and his gaze lingered for a moment on Lizbeth with a hint of worry for the poor girl. [color=00aeef]"Are we all quite ready then?"[/color]

The next one to catch his eyes was the newcomer, Daxos. The words the Dawrf had said then followed with a jovial laugh echoed in BlackBerry's mind. He wondered if the man had said something similar to Kosara that had convinced her he was someone worth keeping nearby. He decided then there was no need to be coy given the conversation that had been surrounding Daxos just then. You didn't need to be a wizard or otherwise learned to put two and two together.

[color=00aeef]"I do hope such talk of Necromancy has not unnerved you good sir. In  part because you may just become quite familiar with it very shortly. How are you in a fight?"[/color]
