Finally managing to rid of most of the make up, even if she was now all glittery, and undo the braid to return it to the long Crimson wave of locks it was, Alex gave a breathe of relief. She never particularly liked getting gussied up like normal girls do. Though she did make a few exceptions. One was Naisha whenever the black Mage actually felt in the mood for getting pretty and there weren't any other female friends around, and the other was children. Alex had difficulties denying either, even if she held great distaste over getting a makeover. It just wasn't her. Such things weren't made for big, tall, muscled Amazon women.

At the looks she was given by Urick, Saina, and Eva, Alex rolled her eyes before looking at Eva at the question. Glancing briefly to Urick as he managed to speak to a guy who came over to greet him and ask to join. Well, isn't he popular with talking with other people? Still, not like she could get too mad. Even if she felt a little jealous that she felt like she was the only one getting the shortend of friendly words, Urick always seemed to have difficulties with her the most. Maybe she just was too intimidating? He never really got too scared though otherwise he would avoid her.

[color=red]"I live in the jungle since the ward kicked me out and the priests threw a fit about me in town. Since there are not many healers around and bothering Lady Yuna everytime I get hurt would be a nuisance for her, I keep myself stocked. I bought this box recently and was going to take it back home after the game."[/color] Alex answered the curious gazes she was given as she brushed off some glitter on her armor plated chest. Most of the people here probably wouldn't understand what she meant by 'ward' but Urick would probably understand that she meant the orphanage she grew up in. That place always felt more like a prison. A lonely prison with hardly anyone around. She forgot how many times she was locked in the closet for misbehavior.

At Eva's giggles and guess Alex gave a feigned terrified shiver and groan, draping her right arm over her forehead dramatically. [color=red]"Indeed. Nai's parents were looking out for some kids. And they combo'd puppy dog eyed me. The deadliest technique ever invented."[/color] the red head answered.

Mildly listening to Urick's conversation with the man, her blue eyes looked to the summoner as the strawberry blonde drank a Elixer before bowing and thanking the tall woman. In which case Alex was slightly taken off guard, her blue eyes blinking before a slight shade of pink crossed her cheeks as a gentle embarrassed blush formed. Her right hand raising to the back of her head and rubbing it a little, eyes darting away.

[color=red]"No problem."[/color] Alex responded before finally returning her gaze toward Eva as the summoner continued speaking. Body stiffening lightly at the words, blue eyes wide in surprise.

Did... Eva just as, her to join them on their journey? A summoner asked her to join the journey? For a moment, Alex felt numb with surprise before a growing warm filled her chest and energizing electricity sparked through her body. Excitment shinning in her eyes. Was she being asked to be a Guardian? She had to wonder if she was just dreaming or something or she misheard.

Glancing toward Saina, seeing the ice witch stiffen and although not too much changed, the ice Mage didn't seem pleased. In which case Alex stuck out her tongue in a childish manner briefly before slipping it back in and thinking. Too focused on what was happening to bother paying attention to the ice witch.

On one hand, she would have to deal traveling with that witch. The one who just busted into then simple with little to no good explanation, iced Alora, decided to throw religion into the mix unneccessarily, showed little to no care for people, and made a ice spike burst through Naisha's chest and almost killed her. Not someone she wasn't exactly happy with. And the thief wasn't on her good graces either after the way he treated Naisha like a rag doll.

On the other hand, this was like a dream come true with some bumps in it. She would get to travel and battle as a Guardian and protector, get to be with her childhood friends, and get to beat the ever living pyreflies out of Thane. Weighing the options, despite how much she detested the ice witch for what she's done, Alex's care for her friends overweighted her hatred. They always came first. Doesn't mean she'd exactly play nice if the ice witch did some more behemothshit but she'd at least try and tolerate.

So with the brightest of smiles, Alex hummed a little. [color=red]"Only if you allow Nai to come too. I'm not leaving her. She'd fry my hair off."[/color] Alex said and paused to wait for a answer, despite her growing excitement, she didn't want to have Naisha feel like Alex also abandoned her.

Her excitement was quite different from her irritated demenor and was jittery like a child who had just gotten the best present. After hearing a answer, she started clasping her large rough hands over Eva's with a bright smile crossing her lips as the amazon looked at the summoner. [color=red]"Just to clarify. You're asking me to be a Guardian... Right?"[/color] Alex asked, her blue eyes wide and shining and full of hope, like a oversized dogs silently begging for a treat.
