(http://uc.exteenblog.com/saintzoul/images/seinarukana/character/ruptna.jpg)<br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;">Ralena Tharin</span><br/><strong>Location:</strong>Poulbelter mansion, streets of Leolt<br/><strong>With:</strong>Luca, Alice<br/><br/>Ralena nodded in agreement with Alice when she talked about going and attacking the Shadow Crows, if that was where Lyuk ended up at. After all, if he hadn't shown up for a free banquet, there had to be something terribly wrong going on in his world. As such, they couldn't afford to waste any time either for the sake of their ally or for the sake of the world. "I totally agree, Alice. Our previous plan banked on Lyuk showing up to provide Luca with some support, but without him, we really don't have too much of a choice. Besides! The man didn't show up for a FREE meal, something's up with that. If those Shadow Crow freaks were still loitering around town, then time that we're spending looking for him is time that we're wasting. We'll go to the Shadow Crow headquarters, save the world, and if our fellow comrade needs saving too, we'll hit it up on the way."<br/><br/>Just as she was ready to continue, however, she heard Luca's input on how he was confident in his abilities, and how she was better off staying with Alice.  "You sure? I mean, I've said this before, but I'm way more comfortable when I'm punching things in the face, compared to just hiding away in the distance. If it's all the same to you, I'm just gonna shift over and take Lyuk's spot. At this point, she returned her attention back towards Alice. "I'm trusting ya to watch out for yourself. Shoot a flare or something if they get the drop on you, alright? Other then that, I guess I'll take that card of yours, since it's hard for you to lead the way if you're trailing behind us." With that said she'd extend her arm outward, accepting the card if Alice was willing to offer it before the group left town.<br/><br/>Either way, for the duration of the trip Ralena would be mostly silent. There was a time for fun and games, and there was a time to straighten up and take things seriously, this obviously being the latter.  Her eyes would frequently shift between the card in order to make sure that they were on the right path, as well as their environment, to ensure that they weren't going to be walking headfirst into any traps that could be set around them. However, thus far, the trip was uneventful, nobody coming to attack them or spring any ambushes. When the golden trail from the card came to an end, she and Luca (and Alice, from farther away) would find themselves at the entrance of a large and expansive forest. "Huh. I guess all that pre-planning and caution was for nothing... Still, the trail from the card comes to a dead halt here, so I guess we're gonna have to figure out the rest on our own."
