A few more people arrived after her, including the teacher. The mission sounded dangerous as expected, but that was nothing to fear.

Li's eyebrow twitched, though, upon listening to both the teacher's 'suggestion' and James' acting. First of all, Why should the Van Helsing lead the mission? The teacher himself said it, that Family had lost way too many people in the tombs. Having another member of the same family lead this team would likely end in utter failure. Second of all, why was James such a jerk all of a sudden? He seemed alright when she met him, and now he's trying to boss the group around like he was the leader. Worse yet, he was disrespectful!

Li glared at James, burning into him with her eyes for a few long seconds. Then she looked at the gate. [@Vocab]

'I'll carry it into the tombs but I'll try to find a knife or go at it hand-to-hand. Such a long weapon will get us killed if we use it in the narrow corridors.'[/i]
