Flornya didn't bother to partake of the tea, instead waiting in the hall with Brody as opposed to staying with the humes and the elvaan. Gently she wrung out her hair and ears and spotted a woman enter, dripping wet just as she was. But this woman was different than Flornya or the others alike. She had cat ears. Flornya wouldn't see this as unusual, though. She actually saw it as rather pleasant. it was a good thing to see someone similar to herself, even if she didn't have the right ears or tail. Her way of speaking was rather odd but it made sense. She probably was accustomed to her own language as Flornya was to hers. This woman seemed to be having difficulty with R's. "Hello... I am sure the abbess would be fine with your intrusion. She was fine with mine and that of the others at least." Flornya spoke, her own S's always sounding like the SH sound instead of the proper hume way. Vieran had no straight S sounds, their tongues weren't shaped or built right for it.<br/><br/>As the armored man ran in he caught Flornya by surprised, running past her and yelling with his sword out. Instinctively Flornya pulled her whip at the site of a man gallivanting about with sword in hand. The long length of leather flowed down, eighteen feet in length all spread and ready to be used. Brody tensed up, ready to slowly advance. Still when Flornya heard the man's call about the crystal she called off her attack tonberry and Brody calmed significantly, his empty eyes getting some color in them in the form of a lavender tint. "What is this about the crystal?" Flornya asked, advancing on the man, slowly wrapping her whip back into its place.
