As she watched the scene play out before her, a few thoughts battled for her attention. How this man handled his slave belayed his need to assert his dominance, how his slave's behavior turned from almost friendly to completely cowed at the mere presence of his Master, and the fact this man was wanting this group, whom had JUST been formed in the secrecy of the Citadel, to go collect an unknown number of objects yet to be revealed.

The Guardian stepped forward to face up to Gun'Tar, holding her shield at parade rest on her left side. Esailia was by no means a match in size for him, but she doubted a fight would break out. Her actions were more like a rival alpha posturing before another, and her tone was strong and loud as she spoke.

"And while my comrades here seem to be so eager to accept, I would like to know what this 'something' is first. I may not know all the dangers of our journey, but I would not deliver anything dangerous to a merchant even at the cost of a useful guide."

She stared up at Gun'Tar, watching his face while her peripheral vision watched for any shifts in his body. Let's see how serious he is...

Esailia tilted her head as she listened, her curiosity overcoming her cautious behavior "Relieved? Yes, though I doubt for reasons you think. When going into a fight, you have only what you bring. If that is an injured arm and a broken sword, you do the best you can. But if what you say is true, my mind runs wild with what could be possible with five just like you and a platoon of soldiers..."

The Guardian was going to continue, save for the sudden repeated word of 'Master' nearby. When she looked the sight of a Gob struck her odd. She herself had never taken in a slave, but it wasn't uncommon back in her village to see them doing various chores. Seeing one at the citadel however was quite strange. She glanced back at Kahleni, motioning her to follow in a polite manner before striding off towards the scene.

"Calm yourself, Landvarian. Mayhap its taken a liking to your appearance." Esailia looked towards the Gob, her voice becoming more stern but not mean "Explain your presence, slave, and why you are addressing this man as your Master."

Esailia glanced over her shoulder at the others "In my opinion, not much can be done about humanoid nature. We fear that which we do not understand." When her gaze returned to Kahleni, she smiled while adding in a quieter voice "But I know I have nothing to fear from the Magi, and you have nothing to fear from a Guardian. I doubt they've let you near any books, nor teach you history in here, so I will explain later on."

Shrugging her shoulders and hefting her shield to seem like she was distracted, she double checked her sword belts as she continued "I am very curious about your abilities. But I will not press if you do not wish to speak of your gift. If you have any questions for me, I'm an open book to you."

Seeing as I posted a while ago, its in his court.

Esailia shrugged her shoulders at the question and was opening her mouth to reply when Luca interrupted, intentionally or not. Seeing little reason to make herself more visible at the moment, the woman slipped away and approached the other mage, giving a nod of her head in greeting as she neared. The Kil'garen's armor was clearly that of the citadel's guards, but Esailia's tone was that of almost reverence rather than any contempt or dislike towards Kahleni.

"I doubt you have seen me, but I hope that my job doesn't affect your judgement of me. My name is Esailia." She set her shield down at her feet, resting her hands on the top. "From what I've seen of this group, I'll be the one defending you and your counterpart."

@BlackPanther
Kyrisse posted at you though?

The Magical Plight ( REBOOT )

What about multiple posts in answer to others? Any limit?

The Magical Plight ( REBOOT )

What are posting rules between GM posts? And can we get clarification on where exactly we all are standing? In my mind its a generic stone hallway.

Esailia barely gave the man another glance after her declaration, instead turning her gaze towards the magi as the group was shuffled out the door to prepare. She snatched her shield and swords from the Templar just outside the door before rushing off to her quarters. She didn't keep much there, and no one was sparing her any glances. Let them think what they want, she didn't owe any of them any favors or friendship. Grabbing a spare change of clothing and her memory pouch, she left without a word.

Returning to Gregory's office, seeing as they weren't informed of any other location to wait, she made a beeline for Landvarian. She knew it was suspicious, but she was doomed anyway.

"We haven't met before properly," She started out, her hand coming up to her neck to tug down her undershirt and mail to expose her Mark only to quickly scratch at her neck and adjust her mail "But We need to know each other if we all are to live, right? I'm Esailia."

As she waited for an answer, she stole a look towards Kahleni, worried about her aversion towards her fellow mage and wondering about her disposition towards this turn of events...

It's looking grim. I'll drop my post now.
