Snippet #1685462

Artea nodded at Neil's explanation as to why a supposed 'Hero's Death.' wasn't as perfect as it appeared to be. Not that the thief was disappointed at the Lancer not wanting to die a hero. The stories of the heroic deeds someone accomplished and died while saving a town or whatnot were indeed amazing, but it wasn't a road Artea wanted to follow.

- "Guys, I hope you are ready..."

After exchanging some last words with Neil, the Vice Captain rose up from her relaxing position. "Artea reporting for duty, sir!" The thief saluted her captain, instead of using her hand, she used the knife that was still in her hand to salute. Surprisingly enough, Artur didn't even mention a word about her not showing up for the mission report. Artea expected, at the very least, a long question about her whereabouts.

After sliding the knife back in its place, the Vice Captain glared at the group of sheep that was following the Red Wolves leader. Attempting to figure out who was who in her mind. Looks like she had some introducing to do, but first things first...

- "You all wait here for a sec, I need to interrogate a prisoner."

The Vice Captain was about to follow Artur to see who this supposed prisoner was. Though a tucking at her skirt stopped her from even attempting the following. Artea turned her eyes to the girl who was wanting her attention. She was a bit shorter then Artea, almost like the girl was still a little kid. Little kid...

The female thief give a soft smile as she attempted to take on an equal eye level with the pink haired girl. "You must be Bianca." Artea said as she simply poked the child mage on her forehead. "Neil told me 'bout you, I suppose I'd welcome you to our mercenary guild." The Vice Captain paused for a bit, giving a quick stare at the others in the group. Even the Pyro mage was here, along with some new faces as well. She assumed the strangers were part of the mercenary group who they'd be spending the night with...

"Well, my name is Artea. I'm a member of the Red Wolves as well." The thief turned her attention back to Bianca, she still wasn't able to believe the girl in front of her was still a child. But Artea wouldn't want to question Artur's decision, the leader of the Red Wolves probably had some good reasons for recruiting Bianca.
