Theryl did not show up, and that only made Serene more pleased. She may not have been the type to harbor a grudge over something this petty, but he gave her the bad gripes. As the two returned her greetings, the two barely spoke any further when a ‘Brigade Captain Linth’ appeared from behind her. Curious about this person, Serene turned to see the Blood Elf as she walked up to the Vampire. She seemed to have tensed up as she came, but Serene couldn’t be sure.

Nevertheless, she decided on the policy of politeness first. “Good afternoon,” She said, returning the greeting Linth offered to the group. “I’m Serene Glacier, a Vampire from the Predator’s League.”

Having learned from the earlier encounter with Nyx, she had figured this statement, although a mistake in itself, could actually lead others to undermine her. Smiling, she was about to outstretch a hand to Linth when Nyx decided to move on.

The journey was somewhat light-hearted for Serene, with little sunlight to mar her day. Nyx tried to keep conversations amongst the group going, but they mostly fell short of expectation. Serene herself did not participate much, actively, unwilling to share her mercenary days, and also unsure of what she could say. As time went by, day became night. Now, the presence of sunlight was no longer dependent merely on the clouds in the sky.

Serene grinned at the coming of this time. The forest started to spring to life, much unlike its earlier dead form in day. Nocturnal predators begin to play their little hunting game with their prey. The night becomes more silent, save for the rustling of leaves and the footsteps of the group. Serene couldn’t help but feel so much more at home in here.

Just then, it started raining. At Nyx’s suggestion, the group went for an inn some place in the forest.

"Well hopefully you all aren't too weary from the walk, and by you all I mean Miss Linth and Serene, Jackson no one cares if you have complaints," Nyx said, more serious to the rest than to Jackson.

Serene smiled at the little joke, then focusing on Linth as she responded that the walk was ‘pleasant’- with which she had no disagreements. The coming of night during this walk had been a welcome change to the Vampire. After all, they were creatures of the night. “I agree with you,” She said after hearing Linth’s response, nodding.
