[color=lightblue]"Well, she's not trying to kill us, yet, so I suppose that counts as good news."[/color] Galahad mused aloud as he observed the newcomer that entered their midst. Had this been a week or two ago, perhaps Galahad might've been more readily welcoming of a new ally, even one sent by Hien. But perhaps because of their very recent betrayal, none of the Kirins seemed particularly ready to fully throw the surprisingly diminutive viera their trust right away. With Esben's recent lecture in mind as well, Galahad refrained from welcoming the ninja right away. The ninja they had met in Osprey seemed none to fond of Edreni, and it appeared this ninja shared similar sentiments, not that Galahad could blame her. The bad blood between Osprey and Edren ran deep- even if Galahad could keep things cordial with Izayoi, Ciradyl and Hien. Fixing such bad blood would take a long time, likely longer than Galahad's lifespan, if they even got to that point after fighting back Valheim. 

[color=lightblue]"Or Ciradyl."[/color] Galahad added as Rudolf questioned Izayoi if she knew the newcomer, a confirmation from one of their two Osprean representatives was as good of an identity check as they could hope for at the moment- though whether or not shew as aligned with their ideals as well would remain to be seen. [color=lightblue]"She would know better than any of us."[/color] 

Until the matter of her identity was verified, their current line of discussion would have to remain vague. Galahad found it perhaps ironic that they didn't have this level of operational security when the rest of their party joined: Rudolf, Esben, Miina, Robin, even Eve- a Valheimr pseudolon- were welcomed into their fold with little question. It had gotten to the point where the newcomers outnumbered the original party. Times were simpler a figurative lifetime ago, he supposed. Unfortunately, nowadays it felt like trust was no longer a commodity that they could afford to give out freely.
