The Sylph was slightly annoyed when the knight wouldn't take his blade back, instead dragging it back against her desk so she didn't have to hold it anymore, the weight getting to her arms. As the man spoke, Gianna felt interest take a hold of her, but she did catch onto the rough edge he spoke with as well. Though the first phrase seemed rude to her profession, it was hard to argue that it wasn't the most entertaining job, however he kept going causing her to focus on his words.
'A company of knights... to police magic?' she thought to herself after the small explanation. When she had given the reasoning of her magic being more useless than other, her thoughts had been on dangerous situations of fighting and protecting others. Perhaps the stories of knights when she was a child had gotten into her head, but it was also anything most people talked about - how useful or dangerous it could be to throw fire around. However if this was the goal, to document and discover new magics and items that may have awoken, she saw the reasoning of why he had gone out of his way for her aid.
She had to admit, the offer was extremely tempting and would provide her with a knowledge font into a world that had been dead for ages. She would finally be able to answers questions like, what are the magics, what they could do, how rare were certain types, how they activated, among deeper ones as the most glaring - what caused the death of it all in the first place and why was it returning now? The company didn't sound especially brutal or hellbent on violence, though she suspected with men like this leading the cause, it might be. If she could answer these questions though.. maybe she.. perhaps with her magic.. could pull away and really do something with her life.
With a deep, thoughtful sigh, she simply nodded slowly. "You've caught me." She shrugged her shoulders while moving her hands up into the air with defeat. "When do we need to start?" She smiled, but only politely, not really feeling on friendly terms with the captain just yet. She was sure it was obvious how much her curiosity drove her actions though - it wasn't hard to see.
