Fire Embem: Arise

Katherine didn't really like how Stefan was treating Felix, she remained polite, however. She frowned a little, but forced it away, replacing it with a light smile, "He...he did yes...I doubt I could've made it here alone, considering we were attacked. And I suppose you're right. Some time to rest might be a good idea. It is a long road ahead after all..."

She didn't like it, but it seemed there wasn't much choice. Kathy did wonder how the man could've been so unprepared for her, though. It was a bit odd. The man would've had at least a day or two, depending on how long it took Emmerich's letter to get here. Would it really have taken that long to gather up some men and prepare a wagon? Granted it is a longer trek to the mountains than it was to Stefan's manor. Was he just lazy? Regardless, something was a little off about Stefan. He seemed polite enough, though. Well, to her anyway.

Katherine smiled at Felix, "Why, thank you! And I guess you're right. I'll just have to get used to it."

She turned back to the doors as the lord opened the door. She gave him a cursty, "Yes...it's nice to meet you. And it's quite alright. I think we'd prefer to keep my existence quiet for now anyway." she gestured to Felix, "This is Felix. One of Emmerich's captains and my best friend since childhood." she said, smiling at him. Feeling a little less uncomfortable while looking at him, before turning back to Stefan. "I wish we had more time to talk, but I fear time is of the essence and we must prepare for our trip and be off... Commander Emmerich sent a letter of this, correct?" she said, trying to sound authoritative.

Katherine shrugged at him, "With the state the country is in, I guess it's understandable. I'm not sure what kind of funny business a knight and a cleric could get into though.... Wait, do I still look like a cleric?" she asked, looking down at herself, and turning a little for him. She supposed it was the most...scandalous dress she'd ever worn. Not that that was saying much. "Maybe I should've stayed in my robes. Oh well. Too late now."

She clasped her hands in front of her as they waited, although her fingers twitched a little. Kathy had to admit she was a little nervous.

Katherine smiled at him, "I beleive I did, if that means anything. As I said, no regrets. And isn't that what you're here for?" she chuckled, pulling on his sleeve.

She came to a stop beside him, "To be fair, this manor houses more than just him. It does seem a bit excessive, though. There's people out there starving, barely making it through the day, and then there are nobles that eat feasts and wouldn't know what a hard day's work is. Not that I have anything against nobles...I just wish they did more to help people with what they have."

Kathy shook her head, and straightened her dress. It was one Emmerich had provided for her. It was made for travel, and nothing too fancy, but definitely more elaborate than her cleric's robes. Also white. She wondered if he planned that. It was also a little tighter in the...bosom and midsection than her robes. She supposed if it weren't it might fall off though, considering it left her shoulders bare. She turned to Felix, "Are you ready, Captain?" she smiled at him, "Come on, straighten that back! Close that jaw!" she chuckled at him.

Katherine shrugged, "Why not? My name doesn't mean much yet." she thought a moment, Kathy wondered if her father even gave her a name. Did he even know about her? It made her a little sad, actually. But she was snapped away from her thoughts by Brax slapping her hand away. She retreated it, holding it close to her chest. "But...it's more that there's no point to it..." Not that he was listening to her. She watched him walk away before turning to Felix.

"Shame. No regrets though." she smiled at him, before healing him. She knew his shoulder got bruised a little, "A girl with silver hair, huh? That shouldn't be too hard to spot."

All good, dear. We figured as much. We were pretty busy too. Or at least I was. :P

Katherine dashed over and snagged Brax's axe, making sure to keep it away from him, "To what end? And those are funny words coming from a theif...perhaps now you know how your victims feel." she shook her head, "No, you're going to live. Becuase you can do better than this, and I think everyone deserves a second chance."

She knelt down next to him, making sure his axe was too far for him to grab, and healed him, she then offered him her hand to help him up, "For now, why don't you take a little break from pirating, banditry, or whatever, and think about your life. What you want to do with it? What's important to you? I want you to think about all that stuff....and perhaps, not right now, but in the future some time. I could use your help. Felix mentioned that we were on an important mission and it's true, and I know I can't do it alone....But that's a matter for another time."

Kathy smiled and raised her hand closer to him, "So. Do you accept? Oh, my name's Katherine by the way."

Fire Embem: Arise

Yeah, I don't really know what Kathy would do. Flinging another spell could be bad, and it's not like she's strong enough to help pin him or something much. I suppose she could try to disarm him, but I'm not sure she'd be...coordinated? enough to try without getting hurt herself. lol

So go ahead. :P

Fire Embem: Arise

All good, hun. Sometimes ya just need a break after a long day. Completely understandable. :)

*hugs* <3

I think they used him in reference to them, actually, but it's not a big deal. You can edit your posts if you want to.

Then again, if they made a profit off of selling women why would they have one as a scout? lol It's fine, though. Do as you like. :P
