Lyara smiled and waved as the others arrived outside the shop, almost feeling guilty that she had seemingly been judged adequate originally due in part to her armor and sword making her look the part only to show up now in mere robes with a dagger.  Surely now however that she'd explained that she was learning wizardry she would be a bit more accepted in this state.<br/><br/>"I'm certainly fine with staying with Selise and helping to keep her safe, though I do rather wish there was one more person around to help partner with and keep you safe Ares.  I'm confident in your abilities, but please try not to get too far behind so no one can reach you should we need it.  Same goes for you two"  She stated, shifting her gaze from the fighter to shifting between Leofwine and Vara.  "Keep in mind everyone, we may well be some of the most well equipped people around here to handle this job, but this is likely to be very dangerous.  We all want to get out there and play the hero, but let's be sure no one ends up the martyr.  This..."  She almost called the bandit leader by his alias, but a quick look at Vara made her rethink.  "Bandit leader could be anyone and may end up hiding in plain sight once we find them.  Don't underestimate anyone or it could be the end.  We may be outnumber their last known targets, but we certainly aren't Snow Rangers either."
