Aureana debated with herself over what to do here.  On one hand, she didn't think Siddra was useful enough to risk her neck over, and the thought of a reward wasn't really in her interests anyway.  On the other hand, this Mercution - if that was his real name, even - disgusted her, and she didn't see any reason to let him have his way with anyone here.  Realizing that if he was this willing to attack his own group members, it meant she might be in danger as well sometime, she sighed, and shook her head.  "No, I don't think I'll join you and I think it would be in your best interests to leave our employer alone," she said, drawing her sword.  She swung it around in a wide arc, a flourish that most people would have found impossible with such a large weapon, though she seemed to handle it with ease.
