Though even Nilia found the sudden lack of most of the luxuries that came with wealth uncomfortable, a part of her had relished the change of scenery and being plunged into life or death combat. One thing was prowling through the forest, turning the predators of sheep, cattle and goats into prey themselves, but facing other sapient combatants, knowing that the life of one party would be extinguished at the end of it was the ultimate thrill. Humanoids were the ultimate game, after all! And this current situation they found themselves in was something else as well, just the thought that some scared, bureaucratic pansy was trying to send them to their death against superior odds both made her blood boil, and her eyes sparkle with excitement. Wether she lived or died, she would be glad for the battle that was going to be had today!<br/><br/>With a couple of spears bundled up in her girthy, thickly scaled coils, Nilia was quite calmly sharpening their tips to perfection, as she thought through the battle to come, and the strategy she would try to employ. With the chatter of her allies almost going over her head, the naga tossed one comment at Jon, simply stating, "They are getting scared of us, and the crowd we are drawing.", while watching Kay's energetic, pre-battle 'hymn' with a small, gleeful smile. The little girl's bravery was to be admired, that was for sure!<br/><br/>Having been quick to grab and don her armour, wooden shield, heavy mace, as many spears as was available, and reluctantly the uniform as well, Nilia was just calmly waiting for the start of the engagement, sharpening her weapons and wits, as well as making a form of rudimentary bind to hold her spears on her back, with some of the rope she grabbed for herself.
