Lyra sighed at Tess. "I'm more worried about if we find something; someone has to report back here. But we couldn't just leave them or one of ours in case of further attacks." She said. "How irresponsible would we be if we just abandoned them just to come back here and report in? Or leave one of our own number to joint he captives?" She asked.  "What if it's more than anticipated and we need reinforcements in a hurry?"<br/><br/>It seemed like the paladin didn't quite understand what Lyra was meaning; but the sorceress didn't seem to really try to sound like she'd backstab them at the first opportunity.  "And what's wrong paladin? Are you like everyone else and don't like the idea of someone who uses magic innately helping out?!" she snapped at her, feeling the ire and frustration mounting.
