[color=00a651][b]Astra[/b][/color] regards all the assembled 'explorers' with a measuring gaze... focusing briefly upon [b]Xian-Fu[/b]... never having met a female member of THE [color=ed1c24][i][b]"Battle-Beast's"[/b][/i][/color] alien race.  But then reason returns her to the nature of her locale... and she dismisses the thought.. likely [b]Xian-Fu[/b] is NOT one of the {in}famous mighty Alien Warrior's race.  Just another fantastic sentient of the Beastmen races common in this realm... though the resemblance is striking!

At length after carefully regarding all present [color=00a651][b]Astra[/b][/color] says, [color=39b54a]"None of ... you present seem to be [i]warr~[/i] er close combat melee specialists.  I will take point then."[/color]

To which she does just that... the air of supreme confidence and fearlessness is somewhat ... uncanny from such a petite lovely unarmored young woman!  Not quite arrogance but total undaunted certainty she is ready to battle ANY threat that is foolish enough to test her might!  More of a readiness to face any challenge ~ eager for a contest of strength and power perhaps?
