Talshalee Torani stood in silence while she watched two of the warriors from lesser houses make a complete hash of checking the area ahead of them for traps.  If these were the best they had to offer and still so inept then it didn't bode well for their house's security, interesting findings she'd make sure was noted on her return.  She tapped her foot in annoyance and noticed a few others making similar gestures.  Though of course the other priestesses were from rival houses the rivalry was a bit less...obvious amongst them.   Warriors had therir place, certainly, but they had a tendancy to be blatant and to forget that hitting something with a sword until it stopped moving was only one solution to a problem, not the be all and end all.<br/><br/>One of them was weaving her hands slowly, communicating with her bodyguard in the private sign language of their house.  Noticing that she signalled to her guard -<em>Nothing important to say, just reply so it looks like we do</em>- he replied with a long series of gestures that basically boiled down to "OK" but looked far more interesting.<br/><br/>"Rockfall trap" one of the warriors eventually whispered back, the sound echoing oddly.  Looks were exchanged, some warriors went forwards to show their skill, others stayed back to offer protection.  By unspoken agreement her bodyguard went on ahead, mainly to make sure none of the other warriors "accidentally" triggered a rockfall on her.
