Syceras smiled when Elli gave confirmation that she understood what was expected of her and the mission. Picking up the quill she had set down when the young knight had entered, the commander was about to go back to her writing when Elli turned back and asked her a question...though as it turned out it would have nothing to do with the assignment. Syceras could feel warmth begin to fill her cheeks again, no doubt blush painted her face once more, when Elli mentioned the letter and the fact that she was blushing.<br/><br/>Coughing slightly in a bid to maintain a little of her composure, Syceras, took the letter from Scarlett on her desk and tucked it away into one of the drawers. While she tried to be nonchalant about it, it was clear the blond commander was more than a little flustered. "The letter's unimportant, just that woman being who she is. As for my relationship with her, we used to travel together in a party of adventures years ago. She and I...we've been friends for a long while now. As she is a high priestess and I am the commander of the Shelyn order of divine knights, we run into each other at council meetings. That's all. Nothing more. Best of luck with the investigation, looking forward to your report."<br/><br/>With that, Commander Syceras took up her quill and went back to scribbling on her piece of parchment, her face lit up with blush. Unless Elli had a question related more to the assignment, she wouldn't look up from her work.
