Shawne finished with the man known as Lucian's back, unable but to take note of his muscles and the few scars and abrasions he had that appeared to be old. This marked him as a fighter of sorts, or at least someone who knew their way around in an altercation either way she hoped that he was a friendly sort since what little defense that she knew would probably not be enough to take him down. Standing she handed the dagger back to the elf with a light smile, her mind still in a hazy state of shock trying to process what should for all intensive purposes be just another dream. Yet she knew beyond a doubt that this was not a dream and that meant that she was probably in a lot of trouble, her mind wandering to her dream from earlier as she recalled the ending. How that presence felt? How scared she was? The voice of the unknown woman warning her....it was all so vivid that for a long moment she stood staring at the fire her mind replaying the dream over until...just as the presence reached for her...<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">â€œ...Now what the hell are we all doing here?â€</span></span><br/><br/>"The circle...." she whispered at first as she continued to stare into the fire while their newest member to this odd group spoke of his intentions. Still all the while her mind was wrapped up and focused on this thought, on this dream and its meaning. Arms hugging herself in a subconscious effort to provide comfort she desperately needed Shawne spoke up again.<br/><br/>"The circle is why we are here...it has to be completed..." her voice louder this time though there was a bit of a mad edge to it, or perhaps more of an edge of excitement. Eyes finally rising from the fire to look about each member in turn, before finally coming to rest on the elf and the dragon sharing a look between the two of them. "This is your world so you must know just what this 'Circle' thing is? If we can figure out how to complete it then we should be able to go home...back to our world and our lives....I mean that is how it works in all the books and movies. Right now we are living our own little fantasy and it stands to reason that if we do whatever is asked of us then we get to go back to our lives...right?" she asked of them in that same edgy desperate and yet excited tone.
