Elyssa had positioned herself as far to the back of the room as she could in a spot veiled by shadow. She leaned against a pillar with her arms crossed over her chest and an amused smile gracing her lips. She was not entirely hiding, and was rather easy to spot if you were looking for her, but out of sight if you weren't and that was the way she wanted it. Elyssa had managed to put off mingling as long as she could, but now that it was inevitable she made sure that she had the upper hand. As soon as she learned of the meeting, the experienced scout had inspected the room where it would be held to find just the right place to stay that she could watch the others all at once. She had even made sure to arrive early so that she could see them enter. It seemed a bit extreme, but Elyssa wanted to gain every upper hand that she could.
So there she was, still as a statue, when Cadis Oraya, one of two Vishkanyas in the group, and the guild leader entered and introduced himself as well as all of the other members of the guild. Elyssa had met Cadis a few times, but preferred her meetings to be brief and simple. Any other time she had simply watched him from afar and from what she could tell, he wasn't a threat to her as long as everything she did was for the best of the guild. As for the other members of Remnant, however, Elyssa had made sure to have little to no contact with them one-on-one. She had done her research, of course, but she definitely kept her distance as much as possible.
Cadis' speech was short and simple, he wanted them to meet each other, make friends, play nice. Elyssa mentally shrugged, if anyone wanted to talk they could come to her. Until then, she would be more than happy to watch the mingling take place and make some mental notes on who she'd be traveling with.
She spotted a table laid out with food not too far from where she was standing and strode over to it eagerly. Elyssa made her way to a plate of cheeses and in a quick motion, her dagger was in her hand and a cube of cheese was skewered on the blade. She leaned against the table, nibbling at the cheese and watching the other members of the guild, curious as to what they might do next.
