Alaira Taenn
Alaira smirked, shaking her head as she rose to her feet, loosening her arm.
"You talk like this to ev'rybody?... I ain't sure if you're lyin' or if you actually believe this crap..." She said, rubbing the back of her head as he spoke. Of course, before she could come up with an appropriately sarcastic comment a golem showed up... Not that she didn't know it was coming, the damn things were so loud the dead could hear 'em coming. She was just used to them walking past, she didn't think it'd talk to them.
She rolled her eyes, letting out an annoyed groan... Babysit politicians? Why did they come to her for this? Well, she was smart enough to realize that they probably didn't have a choice... and neither did she.
"Yeah, yeah. I'll get on that." She said, waving the golem off. At least 'tell Uicle about mercs' was easier. She could think of a couple outfits that had good reputations, there was Quake, Red Lion... She couldn't help but scoff when Athalus spoke.
"Yeah? If they needed smiles n' shit they woulda picked somebody else. Lead the way, I don't know where any of this shit is..." She said, cracking her neck as she gestured at him to get going.
Grey Onyx
Grey nodded as Lucilia complemented his outfit.
"Thank you, Ma'am." He said, quietly shutting the door as a bird arrived. He did not try to guess at the message's contents, simply assuming it was none of his business. While she was reading, however, something... unnerving happened. He felt something speak to him, in his head... He looked down to the axe at his hip, the one he had taken from his double when he could not find his own.
He was not sure what to say, but he was certainly concerned. Either he was mad, or his weapon was possessed, considering the source. However, since Lucilia was just reading her letter peacefully that meant that in either case, she couldn't hear it. When she turned to him to speak, he seemed sort of flustered.
"R-right, very well..." He said, swallowing some as he turned around, his gaze flicking down to his weapon... And luckily, he received an able distraction in the form of a messenger golem.
"Ah yes, tell him to consider Red Lion and Tombstone." He said, calling to the bird before it left.
