Multiple thoughts ran amok through Lin's head about the job's briefing as it was being described to him. Even under the weight of these thoughts, his expression was left blank for the most part. Other times his eyelids and lips were slightly twitching for the more disturbing things:<br/><br/>His first and utmost concerning thought was the female Naga Sirens. Being only a spear warrior, he was not going to be happy fighting spell casters in the first place. This is all based on the attack range between his weapon's thrusting length, (obviously not being much more than 5 feet) and the magical bolts constantly being hurled at him while he tries to close in on his enemy. And finally, there's the parasite problem that makes him want to hurl over the memory of when he did house a living creature inside him. The Naga parasite he was infected with could be formed into a magic bolt before being thrown at its target, all the while secreting itself inside its hosts body. After reaching maturity, it becomes its own living organism tearing its way out from the inside, often causing much agony beforehand. Lin would have died had it not been for the Night Elven assistance he had at the time. Of course, this was during the time when it was just him and his parents, with no real knowledge of any disease away from Pandaria and the turtle they hailed from. Here's hoping somebody knew how to deal with diseases here in this new world for him.<br/><br/>The male Naga warriors were going to be the better joyride for him. Lin fights majorly with a defensive stance. His main objective in defeating his enemies was to always use their force against them. Keep calm, deflect & dodge, and wait for a good moment to knock them off balance. Only then could he ensure a safe victory, without exhausting himself too much. However, most opponents he did fight had two or four legs, and did not slither gracefully on a tail. After his traumatic parasite experience, it was rare he ever dared himself to try fighting another Naga. Here's hoping to himself and his partners he still remembers any advantage he could use against these fearsome serpents.<br/><br/>And it's all for thirty or forty-five gold coins....<br/><br/>It's not like Lin had anything better to do at the time, so trying to look eager as he could with his quivering smile and twitching left eye, he hesitantly spoke "Yeah... I'm-"<br/><br/>He stopped himself from speaking when he realized he was speaking over the late and/or unnoticed human asked, "So when are we going?" Even if his razor edged sakkat was one of the flatter varieties, he was surprised to see he this odd figure. Lin had a little trouble trying to identify what was his fighting profession, due to the very plain clothes he wore, especially the cape that would immediately be ripped off to make sure he can score something in the fashion department. While Lin wasn't personally concerned about his looks, he's worried about the patience level of this guy. This man clearly looked bored, and Lin wonders if the wine was to calm an attitude that was more intolerable.<br/><br/>Lin took only one small look at the human, with his expression still twitching. He figured it would be stupid of him to say something that would anger this one, so he backs off from saying anything directly to Jaden. However, he spoke.<br/><br/>"I'm ready if everybody else is."<br/><br/>(( In case anybody was wondering, I got the whole Naga parasite idea<a class="externalLink" href="http://www.wowwiki.com/Naga_Watery_Minion" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">from Warcraft III.</a>I don't expect the mature state of the parasite to end up looking like a mur'gul in a role play, but it's not like any of us will die from one of these things. ))<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
