Xia smiled as the doors opened, brushing the dust from her sleeve; as Jeremiah laughed softly and invited her into the meeting room. Just as Caroline joined the three in the room, Xia bowed her head slightly in a customary show of mutual respect, common practice in the country of her origin one she continued to practice.
She turned her head somewhat, as an Irish accent drew her attention Xia heard her fellow templar. A bemused smile creeping up her facial features, as she retorted towards the larger man. Just before Jeremiah himself responded.
"Oh my me? Harm them? They are lucky they can still walk deary, best you mind your manners as well...."
She then looked to Jeremiah, after his response to the mans comment about the soldiers.
"You flatter me truly, i don't remember the last time I've been described in such a manner."
She spoke in a soft Chinese accent, her delicate features her most useful deceiver. She then watched and listened as Jeremiah unfolded his knowledge and plans to them, then had a man brought in a cohort of the assassins planning to attack the fort. Xia studied the man over, tapping her nails on the table top softly. She heard the Irish man pipe up again, questioning the integrity of Jeremiah's plan. She stopped tapping for a moment, her index finger pressed against the table opening her mouth again.
"Have you a better plan to propose then? People die that is our business, it is the business of war. Better they die with honor on the field defending their beliefs, then years from now on their death beds."
She would await his retort only for a moment as Jeremiah told everyone of their tasks. She was to be one of the offensive team, she nodded contently and looked to the Templar leader.
"Do we have any intelligence as too the skill level of the assassins against us? It would be nice to have a baring or a loose match based on the talent of each of us, yes?"
