Raesha clinched her jaw but held her head high and did not back away from the approaching barbarian. If he meant to keep her as a prize she would make sure he had second guesses on the worth of having her around. She knew how to be a thorn in his side and planned on being the biggest of pains. Sure her value may have been great but the risk was also high. No nobles went missing without search parties going to look for them. Surely they would come upon some Lodian troops that knew she was missing.<br/><br/>Brig, showing a great deal of pride in his gifts, placed his hands upon his hips and gave a hearty laugh. "It was not easy. Nobles have magic and are often surrounded by many guards. This one was foolish enough to think a smaller number would still guarantee her safety. Though she is still a mage and needs to be kept under a watchful eye." Brog cautioned. "She hasn't displayed any magic yet but I would still be wary."<br/><br/>Raesha opened her mouth and lifted her hand to begin a retort to Brog's comments. However the guards that escorted her were quick to deliver sharp raps on her already sore shoulder to prevent her from being able to cast a spell. She groaned and grasped her shoukder but did not yell as she glared back at the guards. "Not all my words cast spells you mongrels." She hissed then turned back to face the two clan leaders. She knew he had no hope in reasoning with Brog, but perhaps this other man would be more willing to listen. "Despite what Brog tells you I can assure you that my safe return to the Lodian Empire would be far more profitable than my captivity."
