There's a slight smile on Hildegunde's as her stuff is moved into Room 7. It disappears quickly once Iraleth suggests asking for permission. Hildegunde wants to protest. In all honesty, her ideal solution would've been to not ask at all; what people don't know won't hurt them. Why waste time trying to find someone and ask for permission? This damn school nearly got them killed, they shouldn't need to ask for permission, especially for something so deeply harmless. It was downright stupid, in her eyes. And yet, before she could, Ciara had already begun to move. She probably would've argued the decision if it weren't for what she said next. [b]"You know... you're a good shot. You strike me as more of a... Sword of Wund."[/b] Sword of Wund. Somehow, having Ciara reiterate what Freischütz had told her makes her feel uneasy. She squirms uncomfortably. More smiles. But the discussion that Ciara had brought up might make the time move by faster, so Hildegunde won't complain, joining her in line. Besides, she was thankful for her ripping that bandage instead of doing it herself. Even if she suspects it might be a charged topic, particularly for the half-elf. [color=007236]"Is that the only reason? A gun is as much a deterrent as it is a weapon. And I don't wish to point it indiscriminately."[/color] And yet...how much easier would her life be if she could? The limitations of her ethos would no longer matter. The thought disturbs her, and she shakes it off, briefly wondering if the Adapa is messing with her brain. [color=007236]"I'll be frank, I don't get these faction things, nor do I care for false binaries" [/color]she mutters, leaning against a wall as they wait. She briefly gives Iraleth a glance, feeling a bit bad for her standing up in her condition. But she was the one who suggested standing in line, so surely she could handle it. [color=007236]"It don't help that I grew up in the Western Neutral Territories. Nearly isolated. Little stakes in this question. Bet I don't know the history half as well as either of ya."[/color] She messes idly with her sleeves. [color=007236]"You were quick to choose. May I ask why? And while not as quick, I'd like to know your reasoning as well, Ciara."[/color] [@Estylwen][@Nanaya][@Psyker Landshark]
