She followed the logic the bloodchief set before them, but Larissa was having a difficult time with the 'what is all this for' bit. As Dorokor explained their motivations for attacking Bedegar keep and putting Elaine's family to the sword - all over some supposed piece of divine heraldry - Larissa balled her hands into fists. She had not come here to fight, but hearing the murderer of her best friend talk so callously -<br/><br/>Larissa turned around as the doors to the hall were pushed open. Her eyes fell on Pinna. And then -<br/><br/>"Elaine...?" Larissa stared dumbly at her. She paled, looking as though she had seen a ghost, but as reality set in, Larissa clicked the heels of her boots together. The young Ruxvan was a blur, running straight for Elaine. She skidded to a halt as Oregg stepped between them. The tears were evident in Larissa's eyes as she stood just feet away from Elaine. She swallowed hard, resisting the urge to sucker punch Dorokor's lieutenant. "Elaine..." she let out a relieved sigh. Larissa blinked back the tears and turned back to face the bloodchief.<br/><br/>"So it's this then," Larissa said. "In order to make Greymantle uphold his end, you withhold yours." It made sense. It was smart, really. As much as she hated the situation, Larissa had to admire Dorokor's cunning. She clicked her boots again to deactivate the magic and started back toward the table. "One banner for the life of a Bedegar heir, is that about the size of it?"<br/><br/>Larissa reached in her pouch and pulled out the bounty proclamation. "You should be aware then, that Greymantle intends not to uphold his." She placed the notice on the table and slid it toward Dorokor. "He intended to send his blood knights for your head. A Sir Pelliton if you are familiar. I bested him for the privilege. But the more I learned of you, the more I became intrigued. And it seems we've a common enemy."
