Snippet #1654767

Safir turned his eyes on the alchemist as he stepped forward to speak. The elf had lost her temper and it was apparent she was refraining. And her friend, this man, was telling her the truth..? Safir could not tell. He ignored it. The elf would not be allowed to lash out after this information again.

But he had also noticed that the alchemist had just injested something. He didn't like that.
"Hold your tongue, elf. Insulting the Queen will do you no good, especially here." He spoke with a dark tone, not openly revealing his irritation. Safir then addressed the rest of the party. "I'm not getting answers out of any of you.." he shook his head in mock disappointment and felt his anger slip away quietly. "Perhaps I won't, but the Queen can. She's requested that she speak with all of you. I shall not keep her waiting."

Of course not with them grasping their weapons, so they could kill him and be done with it. Keeping the weight off of his leg, he casted a complex spell that dealt with the mind - the desired affect was their "guests" following him passively. The spell should make their mind desire to follow him without harming themselves or him. The mage took a step back to see what would happen.

Alyss looked in shock at Alphonse. Was he..really? It made sense if he was, and even more so if he wasn't. But then it wasn't her business to interfere with another's family. She rubbed her neck, growing angry. Tension was high, and if she and her friends didn't comply then.. the mage could kill them all. And she was the only weaponless one.
"I didn't agree to see your Queen, I-" .. she stopped and thought. She'd better. Or they would all get hurt. It just made sense to go.. it was safer anyways.. they could run.. no. Running would only make him mad. They should just follow.. she took a step toward Safir, her eyes round.
