<div align="center">Aryia (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=88798.msg3898535#msg3898535)<br/></div><strong><br/>"Um Ravus ? you do have silver dust in your saddle bag if you want to make some silver shots, you know to melt them and set it in a cast and stuff"<br/></strong><br/>Strangely how he handled the pistol comforted her, dreadful thing, at least it was one that was on her side she fathomed. What would the echo be like here though ? Aryia shook her head and braced for it as best she could.<br/><br/>Aryia drew her sword in a trembling grip and murmured a few words. Soon afterward its blade shone brightly illuminating the area better than a lantern would.<em>Still </em>the place looked like hell yelling at them.<br/><br/><strong>"Oh by the way I can make your weapons glow too if you want them too, quaint as they are it beats lanterns in places like this. But really Ravus, ladies first now ? NOW you find your manners ? Your HAVE to be joking! " </strong><br/><br/>Aryia said while unintentionally waving the rapier dramatically, the fast dance of resulting shadows putting her even more on edge her eyes skittering to each place they changed in turn like a startled deer.<br/><br/>He seemed so confident he<em>must </em>be joking, still lords ! what if he wasn't ? ! Best to know either way, sarcasm wasn't easily received by Aryia now.<br/><br/><strong>"Your a man, and a Hero ! I read your deeds. Heavens, I even paid you do to some which I thought were suicide and you came through, collecting your dues and all ! its your role to protect us right ? Akara is from the <em>desert </em>remember, a <em>guest </em>to our lands, how civil are we to make her lead in a place like this ? Our lands troubles, not hers. If anything surely Akara's role should be to be my body guard in case you can't right ? " </strong><br/><br/>Aryia joked to herself saying the last sentence, but meant the first few, Akara looked like she was doing everything other than showing any inclination to be Aryia's body guard. She seemed to almost breeth in the place daring it to try something. How could she do that ?<br/><br/>Aryia's jest fell flat the moment it came out, still her own confidence seemed a little better from talking, even if listening would be more sensible, it helped her ease her nerves ... slightly. That "shh" from one of them would come any second now... when it did, Aryia would be silent, and that's when Aryia knew it was time to<em>really </em>be scared.<br/><br/><br/>
