As you speak, she looks up at you slowly, a keen look in her eyes.  You can practically see the wheels turning, and a smile slowly forms on her face.  She chuckles as you finish a thorough explanation and examination of the evidence, either impressed or amused... perhaps both?<br/><br/>"Pretty<em>and</em>smart... who would have thought?" she replies, clearly being sarcastic as she chuckles still "Your logic is quite sound... but the one fallacy with your statement is that the premise is based entirely on what<em>you</em>believe to make sense and what<em>you</em>feel you would have done.  Essentially, you used<em>your</em>logic, not irrefutable evidence.  The situation itself is quite vague, and who's to say that you didn't commit these crimes in this fashion knowing full well that's not how you would<em>professionally</em>do it?  There is indeed enough to suggest that a professional could have been imitating an amateur in this..."<br/><br/>Her smile fell, and she looks upon Mylanna once more with sad eyes.<br/><br/>"...that would be the counterargument; that you did it in an 'amateurish' fashion to hide the fact that it was you the professional, even if you were caught.  Again, not the best of and argument with purely circumstantial evidence that only the Lady Silverhand would call out, but would be enough with your gift for whoever would<em>actually</em>serve as judge for you trial..." she states, again setting her head upon the bar "Why couldn't you have fled and saved an old woman like me the guil-"<br/><br/>An echoing, deafening slam shot forth from down the hall, and in an instant the knight was on her feet, hand upon her blade and ready to strike on a moment's notice.  A single, quickly approaching set of footsteps approached, and as it was quite near, the paladin eased in her stance, standing tall and proud.<br/><br/>"What is it soldier?" she called to the approaching man at arms.<br/><br/>"There's been another attack!  An attempt at the Trade Coordinator's life!" the man gasped urgently, having apparently been running in some rather heavy armor "Lars... he fought the beast off with silver, but outside he killed a guard before taking off!"<br/><br/>"Sweet Sune..." turning towards you, the knightly woman seems clearly relieved and smiling, before turning back to the man with a firm look on her face "Are there guards after him?"<br/><br/>'We're trying our best, but we can't keep up with it!  We've sealed the gates and manned the walls; there's no way out of the city with the wards still up and running."<br/><br/>"Do we still know where he is?" she asked, more firm now in her demeanor.<br/><br/>"We... no, we lost him-"<br/><br/>"Lost him<em>where</em>?" she say, no uncertain amount of threat to her voice as she steps into him with a hand upon her blade, forcing the man to step back nervously.<br/><br/>"Near... near the temple district!" he managed, apparently nervous under the gaze of the half-nymph.<br/><br/>"Get guards out there, have them keep searching the streets, and<em>nobody</em>is to go near this thing unless that bastard threatens the innocent.  Wait for us to get there, have a cleric cast a sending to notify me of any updates." she says, quickly sorting through the pockets of her knight-robe and extricating a key.<br/><br/>"Us?  You don't-"<br/><br/>"I said move your ass soldier!  Or I will lock you in this cell instead of this<em>innocent</em>woman and<em>highly talented</em>tracker who happens to be the<em>only</em>other person in the city who has a<em>gift</em>that makes her immune to this bastards<em>curse</em>!" she all but yells at the man who backs away further still "<em><strong>GO</strong></em>!"<br/><br/>The man does as he is told, quickly scampering away down the hall as the knight finally gets the cell open, pulling out another key as she kneels down to free Mylanna of her bindings.<br/><br/>"I don't know what god or goddess you pray to, but you should thank them, as I'm thanking dearest Sune, for this little miracle." she says, again smiling, relieved, yet still sounding like there is a sense of urgency to the moment, which there clearly was "You want to put in some good faith even with your were-status?  You'll be helping me track this bastard down and, at this point, kill him; he's killed a guard, and by the sound of it he's not going down easily."<br/><br/>The manacles fall off and clatter to the ground before she picks them up and stuffs them into her magical haversack, withdrawing from it a moment later yet<em>another</em>haversack, easily recognizable as Mylanna's own, which she hands off quickly.  She then steps out of the cell, hand on her blade with a slight grin on her face, waiting for you to dress and be ready to leave.<br/><br/>"Dress and arm yourself, then we'll be out of here, and now that the situation has changed..." she says, then performs a low, proper curtsy with a low bow of he head as well "I am Lady Yuria the Silver-blood, Sister of the Ruby Rose Knights.  Charmed to meet you, and may Sune bless such a beautiful young elf as yourself!"<br/><br/>(now the fun begins!)
