Jacee listened to his story quietly- it was kind of depressing, but, hey... He seemed happy with his choice, just as she was with hers. She glanced at the amulet around his neck and frowned slightly.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="color: #FF0080">Grey ghosts of Grimloch, tell me that's not blood... </span></span>Not that it would surprise her if it was, something like that really seemed to suit him.<br/>Jacee balked slightly as he mentioned the name of her craft being fitting, "Hey, watch it!" She punched him lightly in the shoulder, feigning offense, "Whatever do you mean? She's a beauty." Jacee managed a straight face for all of two seconds before chuckling, shaking his hand lightly, "Alright then. You'd better get used to being called that though, NINJA, at least until I can think of something a little more clever."<br/>She sighed slightly, returning to seriousness, "Yeah, that amulet's probably Avalonian. But... There is a chance that this map is a farce, that Avalon truly is lost. This whole venture is a crapshoot. I don't mind, seeing as I've got nothing to lose by giving it a shot. You, on the other hand, have a trade you're obviously quite gifted with. You may not find anything to help you. Hell, you may not find anything at all. It may take months to reach this Avalon, too, and Hell's Gate isn't exactly a luxury cruise liner. You sure you want to go through with it, when the end game is so hazy?"<br/><br/>A figure approaching caught her attention through her peripheral vision, "Well, it's about bloody time," She muttered, her usual, somewhat grumpy demeanor returning.<br/>He called something to her, and she stood, waving to him, "Yo! Goggles! Thought you'd been eaten by those oversized butt-roasts. Get up here, wouldja? We've got some business to<br/>discuss!"<br/><br/>She turned back to her "ninja" companion, "Let's head in, it's starting to get cold, and all this talking means I'm in need of a proper drink. Care for anything?" She offered a hand to help him up, but didn't really expect him to take it.
