Getting down to business was more out of personal preference than being impatient so it didnâ€™t sit well when another man basically told her to be patient as he joined the table. She had plenty of patience but it was limited, though as to not further embarrass herself she kept quiet and simply nodded. At first glance her posture may have told a few people she was not that serious or respectful, but it was quite the contrary. Mira was intrigued by this, yes, and was rather anxious to find out more, but when it came down to it she knew her place and dared not step over the line. She was just a little inexperienced is all and that was obvious; she could tell a few people had already picked up on that but paid it no mind other than realizing she needed to straighten up a bit. It wouldnâ€™t be good on her part if she were to cause trouble or be seen as a weak link.<br/><br/>And then another joined the table; it was then that Holt decided to elaborate more.<br/><br/>The forest has always been a problem, but she never would have thought it would capture the full attention of the Knights of the Downed and seen as something that needed to be dealt with immediately. Were they that bored and in need of something to do, perhaps? No, she knew better than that, but surely the Knights had better things to do than worry about the strange things that linger in the forest. After all this was why she was so intrigued, especially by the choice of group: Eva, as she called herself, explained she was not much of a fighter before adding a fair it of wit at the end of her speech as if to get a point across, while the man who called himself Sydney seemed to hum a different tune though he didnâ€™t reveal much. Both, however, showed interest in the woods.<br/><br/>â€œSo whatever has been in the woods lately is something in the woods that even the mighty Knights of the Down find troublesome, and so they ask for help?â€ She scoffed lightly, keeping quiet until Rocoo, the same man that scolded her earlier, had introduced himself.  She took a sip of the wine that had been placed in front of her to hold back a smirk that threatened to form on her lips. In a sense she did lack some morals in her â€˜freeâ€™ lifestyle, despite having a sense of respect butâ€¦ But then again Mira never did like Knightsâ€¦ â€œJoking aside, they call me Lady Mira around here. I'm a member of the Illuminate and am well aware of those troublesome woods,â€ when she spoke her name her tone completely lost its snarky edge, going for a formalness instead â€œsince weâ€™re giving an introduction. Iâ€™m afraid that I lack any actual war experience but if by any chance you are in need of an archer youâ€™re in luck.â€<br/><br/>She set the wine back down not caring to finish it, left her food untouched as well. Usually conversing over food and drink was a nice way to relax but for whatever reason she simply was not hungry. Probably, she would tend to it later on if she got hungry enough, depending on how long this conversation was going to last.<br/><br/>â€œNevertheless I will make preparations at once after this little meeting is overâ€¦ And donâ€™t worry, for I have no intentions of slowing anyone down,â€ she added, briefly glancing over to Sydney and Eva, whose search party she was not going to be joining since she had made it clear she could only tolerate so much company. Other than that some may question but Mira spoke true, she had no intentions of slowing anyone down, she could handle herself. After all, it was just as Rocoo had said one must be clever and win with ease. It was a concept very similar to gambling, again an area she knew well, as everything life throws at her is a gamble in her eyes.  And even if she couldnâ€™t it wasnâ€™t like she had a choice either way. The Knights draft whoever they damn well please to participate in their little war so there was no way she would be heading home any time soon. Not that she had the intentions of doing so just yet of course.<br/><br/>Everything was a competition to her, a gamble, life or death. That was why life thus far has been so thrilling for her. However, now she would be forced to drop that sense of thrill and grow up a little more.
