Kisara's lips twisted. So<em>this</em>was Lady Pearl. She was just charming, wasn't she? Ugh.<br/><br/>And more boats. She really should have expected this, given it was a Sea God and all, but still. She'd had enough adventures on boats to last her quite a while, thank you very much.<br/><br/>Sighing as the blue-skinned woman wrapped her speech, Kisara stepped out to Kersinta's side and slightly in front of her. "Understood, no out-of-turn speaking once we're down there. What about now? I have several questions, as the intended Bride's bodyguard." Her stance was all proper military at-ease, ready to move into a fight at a moment's notice if needed.<br/><br/>"Question the first. What happens if your Lord Father does not approve? Not that I believe he will find our shimmering jewel wanting, mind you, but you said if. I like to be prepared for eventualities. Question the second. What fate awaits the 'bride of beauty incomparable' should she be accepted? I note you didn't state she was to return with us upon approval."<br/><br/>Tipping her head at the blue-skinned God-Blood, Kisara's fingers tightened over her own wrists. "Question the third. As your Lord Father is puissant, I am certain, what plans has he to address the cult found in the waters not overly distant where another spirit attempted to abduct his intended Bride? Certainly he can and should vent any ire at the delay in her appearance upon them."<br/><br/>She was being unwise, for sure, but if she was reading things right, it would keep Pearl focused on her instead of trying to place Talion's voice. And, well, Kisara half-wanted to see if she could take the bitch. While she might not be sure of her ability to clobber sense into a sea god, she was pretty sure she could kick the ass of one of his kids, no problem.<br/><br/>"If your Lord Father, in his wisdom, has not entrusted you with that information, I fully understand. We can wait here while you go down and ask."
