Snippet #2006724

There he goes again, Collin contemplated as Charrusi spoke, but it was the hint of frustration that made him suspect. Perhaps he's already experienced similar to what he was describing. Collin's attention shifted instinctively as Florian stood up and introduced himself next, briefly, Collin allowed a look of surpise to show on his face at the man's intrusion. Good effort sneaking in unarmed, this man's a different kind of dangerous, he mused, his eyes looking up at the tall figure, though, security must be lax indeed if thats the case...

Having remained unusually passive so far, Collin's ears suddenly perked up at the mention of Alulim revealing his past. Abruptly, the young man stepped towards the robed Rayen purposefully and methodically, his face taking on a somewhat sinister yet playful expression. "Careful with your words Mr Residuum, that implies that your past has something worth knowing. Moreover, you're not even asking a favour from the royalists, no...it's almost more like you're simply here to learn magic, which if i may say, isn't the conventional way one would learn it. It's a bit suspicious if you ask me" Collin said teasingly before looking at Adaryan. Even though he could tell that Alulim was sincere in his proposition, Collin couldn't resist the the urge of his sharp tongue which was second nature to him.

"Well, there'll be time to talk about the past once we deal with the immediate issues here"

With one elbow resting ontop of his arm, Collin's fingers rubbed the bottom of his chin as he continued. "In anycase, I'm glad there aren't any guards in the immediate vacinity to listen to this discussion" he smiled, addressing the entire group, "I've been considering the possiblity that some of the guards maybe spies given that the assassin's clearly knew where to go to ambush the princess. If we are going to sneak the Miss Te'Alros out undetected, creating doorways is my department of speciality, but i can't take everyone. Maybe one other at most, and, i'd also need the plans of the city. The other thing we can do is set up multiple decoys by splitting the group up and meeting at a certain point outside of the city afterwards"
