Faline raised an eyebrow at the tall man who wandered his way over and sat in the oversized chair. "The title of lady is not mine to hold, at least, not yet anyway. Nor do I plan to possess a lofty duty. As to Mousey over here, it isn't very often I meet half of my lineage that also have the ability to shift in animal forms. As for my words out there, it is the truth, I've worked alone up until this point," she explained as she looked at the coin from the gray-complexed Elvian woman held out.
"That is a curious symbol. I remember it from somewhere but I can't quite place it," Faline said as she was trying to think of all the symbols that her uncle had scribbled in his journal as if his life depended on it. Her train of thought was interrupted as the door opened again. Sir Dorian walked through the doorway, turned, and locked the door behind him. He moved over to a large table with many chairs around it. He was completely unphased by the fact that Simbelmyne was in the room without seeing her current appearance walk through the front door of the tavern.
Dorian smiled at Dorothea. "Be at ease, all of you, please. This is a safe space for all walks of life," he started as he gestured for everyone to take a seat if they wished. Faline didn't budge at first. She took her time to study their host again before she cautiously took a seat.
"I am Sir Dorian. I organize what is known as the Oath of the Concealed. The Oath of the Concealed is a secret mercenary guild that works to end many of Vradia's problems before the general public knows about them. I was alerted about all of your appearances tonight by your predecessors," he began to explain as he placed each token from Faline, Dorothea, Amandine, and Torsten on the table. Dorian smiled and held out his hand at Simbelmyne for hers as well.
Faline's green eyes widened with slight fear with Dorian's last word. "Our predecessors? Does that mean-," she started as the white-haired man smiled before cutting the half-Elvian woman off.
"Easy now, there's no need for rush conclusions. Your predecessors were working to solve a mystery that has been affecting the Ellezag Plains. A lot of the leads separated them. There is a need for all of you to step in for them in the area while they follow their quests to end those leads," Dorian explained.
