“No” Liaena snarled back, clinging to Serphia’s arm as she tried fruitlessly to loosen the strong choke-hold the big Night Elf had her in. “Where’s Sharon?”

Trailing her eyes up and down the big Captain, there was indeed no sign of her miniature boyfriend, and in any case she would have expected him to have shown himself already during the confrontation in the nave.    “You haven’t lost him, have you!?”

“Er, just along here, Mistress….!”

Rounding a corner, Serphia stomped towards the set of prayer rooms. Possibly alerted to the approaching natural hazard by the thundering footsteps, or Rithrynn’s frantic attempts at appeasement, elves spilled out of the rooms into the corridor to stand at attention and hastily salute their captain. This did little to appease Serphia’s wrath as she glared down at them. “And WHAT do you think you’re playing at, Asha Del…where are Aleena and Lithrielle!?”

“……”

“Smoozing, apparently” Liaena volunteered coldly into the silence when it became clear that no Night Elf wanted to run the risk of attracting Serphia’s attention onto themselves. Glancing into the biggest room, one could indeed see the two Night Elves intertwined on one of the beds, fast asleep as though the recent bloody violence was simply a dream.

“…What is the situation here, Thea?” Benedict enquired worriedly, having followed Serphia’s movements with his eyes, before returning to the priestess. Belatedly, he nodded towards the other priestess in the nave. “Priestess Clarissa. Should I be concerned for that girl with them?”

“Possibly. However I do not think involving the guard would be wise at this stage” Thea said carefully as she studied the exit the Night Elves had taken. “They would likely perceive it as a threat. I can attempt to reason with them Bishop, with your approval?”

“Hm….as you wish, very well” Benedict murmured, before turning to the paladin that had planted himself between the high priest and Serphia earlier. “Thank you, Hugo. Please escort the priestess, and defend her from any threats…our new guests, or otherwise”
