<div class="floatright">(http://i.imgur.com/ljYAgW2.jpg)</div><br/>As much as she didn't like the idea of taking Shugar with them, both because of the simple fact that the monsters would get tougher and because she didn't like the idea of playing babysitter, the look on Bo's face and the way she hesitated at the thought of sending the bugbear woman anywhere alone was playing havoc on Zerxel's resolve to keep the party to just the two of them.  Besides, as annoying as it might be to split any treasure they might find three different ways, it would be a small price to pay if Shugar was indeed as good at healing as she made herself sound.  Even if she hadn't been injured, the rogue would have found it hard to refuse her offer of assistance since injuries were just as threatening as the lust that permeated the Dungeon, if not more so in some ways since at least lust only clouded one's judgment.  Injury could slow down a warrior like Bo or herself, hamper them in a key moment, and while the curse of lust could be just as dangerous in its own right, the worst that could happen was that you'd let your guard down at a bad time.  No, they needed Shugar, so it was with some measure of reservation that Zerxel's right hand blade flicked through the ropes binding the bugbear to the post once she had answered her questions to the best of her ability.<br/><br/>She however wanted to make one thing very clear as she put a hand on the woman's shoulder, only to grimace when her dark skinned fingers brushed across an old, dried up cum stain.  Letting out a slightly disgusted groan, Zerxel sighed and dusted her hand on the side of her leg before opting to simply put herself between Shugar and Bo.<strong>"If you're as good as you say at healing, then I'd appreciate you tend to that matter first and foremost before we do anything else.  But I want you to understand Shugar, if you slow us down, hinder us in any way, I won't hesitate to leave you behind.  You know as much as I too much is at stake and I have every intention of getting to the end if at all possible.  Even if I didn't want to do that though, Malefactus knows it won't be without trying, I won't tolerate anything that puts myself or Bo at risk, and not necessarily in that order.  I am simply telling you this now so there's no surprises later, alright?"</strong>She wasn't trying to be a bitch about this, but she wanted Shugar to understand just what she was getting into if she still wanted to stick around.  The consequences of her choice would be hers along to contend with if things went badly.  She liked Shugar too, and under other circumstances, Zerxel wouldn't have hesitated to have her at her back, but this was the Dungeon.  There would not be any room for mistakes, and while she felt that it was a bad idea to bring Shugar along, she also understood that she could also mean the difference between success and failure.<br/><br/>Once she had proven she was as good as her word, and taken care of their accumulated injuries, only then would Zerxel sigh and run a hand down her face before sheathing her blade once more.<strong>"I just know I'm going to regret this."</strong>She mused under her breath, but looked towards Bo for a moment before turning her red eyes back to their new member of the group.<strong>"Alright, let's get this over with then.  Just what did you have in mind for getting rid of my little problem?"</strong>She asked, curious to see what Shugar was capable of given her obvious magical talents.  Her own were nothing to sneeze at perhaps, but again, Zerxel knew that her own use of magic were the equivalent of cheap tricks compared to what a full student of the arcane was capable of.  As such, she was quite interested in learning what a true practitioner like Shugar was capable of over someone like Xara, needless to say.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Lol alright.  After Shugar has helped them out real quick, they can loot the camp and go after the key while keeping an eye out for the likes of Yana or someone of equal annoyance for the spiderlings while they're moving about the city.  I still fully intend to chase after the key, but I DO want to find someone for the spiderlings lol.</div></div>
