She stared at him for a moment. She was trying to get a feel for his honesty. It could be hard to read people straight out, but she was going to try anyway. It was all she could do at this moment. He'd already come well within the kingdom's dominion by now, and it was concerning that he was able to make it so far. Most people would get lost in the maze of a forest long prior. Her father had made his mages cast numerous spells on the forest to make it an illusionary trap tp deter intruders quite awhile ago. Whether the wards had just worn off, or whether he'd seen through them was still a mystery.<br/><br/>The second thing up for debate was why did he want to help with the crystals? What would make an outsider so willing to help a kingdom they had literally no ties to? Especially when they were thrust into the middle of a war. There had to be some sort of ulterior goal in mind. No one did something that serious for free. What all did he know of the crystals? Did he realize their true importance? Or did he want a pay off? Did he want to try to conjure up replacements so that he could take the real ones and make off with a huge pay day?<br/><br/>"Why would you want to help a warring kingdom which you have no ties to? How do I know you're telling me the truth? What do you know about the crystals?" She asked. She seemed full of questions, but even though she and her dad fought, she was very loyal to her kingdom, and because of that, protective of it.
