Snippet #1549502

Scarlet took a quick glance to each person as they entered. She giggled a little as the only other girl apologized to her seat. Noting that she looked to be a similar age to her, the blonde girl decided that she would make a mission to make an ally out of her. Annalee seemed extremely out of place in the room of rogues, but Scarlet knew better than to judge someone based on their appearance here.

Next, Christopher sat in the chair next to her, and Scarlet shot him a quick smile. Upon noticing the covering of his eye, she was immediately intrigued. I'll have to ask him about it later! She thought to herself, moving her gaze on to the next man, Kier. She smiled at him as well, sensing his giddiness. His clothes seemed fine and he was pretty well groomed, making her believe him to be wealthy. Normally, this would have bothered her because she was raised in the poverty that made those with money turn up there noses and avert their eyes when passing, but she decided to let it go. He didn't give off too much rich-boy air, so she reminded herself once again not to judge.

Finally, she reached Saro and watched him in silent shock. She tilted her head curiously as her examination landed her on his face. Blatantly staring, she mumbled quietly to herself, "You sure look happy." She continued to stare in fascination as he drew out the blood. It was a fantastic magic trick to her, seeing that she loved blood. Something about the deep red color and and the way it moved drew her in. Perhaps that was why she enjoyed slitting throats so much.

"Hey!" She snapped at Redjack, pouting for a moment at his insulting reply. She tried to hold the expression, but she soon was back to her idiot grin as she tried to think of a clever reply (with difficulty). "Well, then I'm calling you 'Shortie,' you know, because you're short..." Her voice trailed off as she realized her retort was quite weak. Despite his sarcasm, Scarlet did really like Redjack. His coarse humor amused her and she too trusted him not to kill her. She would consider him a friend, even if the feeling wasn't completely mutual. It was nice, in this place full of humans, so have someone else who represented the part-elf minority.

She didn't bother watching Saro and Redjack's exchange as she noticed Zyler who seemed to be of the same age as her. Something about his calm air confused her and at the same time intrigued her. There was too much stimulation for Scarlet's curious mind, so finally, she turned to Guanicus to await his instructions. She swung her feet back and worth, almost like a child, as she waited.
