"Ah. If you'll excuse me, I have someone to meet with."
Chris slid off of Ami's horse and sauntered over to Taki.
"Well, well. If it isn't Taki Greenstone."
He leaned on the wall next to her and crossed his legs at the ankle.
"Enjoying the weather as much as I am?"
Taki had remained tactfully silent, which was rare for her.
"..."In this case, she took the rule of 'do not bother the animals'-she had made the mistake of trusting him, once, and had been repaid in a predictable manner. He had left her with an arrest warrant, en empty gold purse and a scar on her left thigh. Probably because it was funny.
So, she felt she didn't even own him the time of day. Such interaction with him was as close to indulging in a self destructive habit as dared to get close to.
"....Yes... "dark" magic. My intention is to prove the others that ancient magic can be powerful and used for the good too, too many people think dark magic is related to evil, even if it is not. And I also will need it to solve some.. family issues..but that is another story."
After, she came up behind Tantallos, clapping him on the back and interrupting his conversation with Ami.
"Well-magic is magic, huh? I didn't hire ye to pontificate on it. Just make guys trying to gut us go boom. Aye? Boom!
And, I heard ya give your name earlier to this pretty lass. Ami, right? Call my Taki. Nice to meet ya!
Me, I'm a...diplomatic specialist, yeah? Aren't we all?" She said, grinning cheekily and running a hand through her black hair. She held out her hand to Ami for a firm shake.
A young woman with fair hair sat on a chair against the wall, her lance nested in a crook of the wall nearby. Her hair fell somewhat messily over her shoulders, and her eyes were concealed by her long bangs, as she sat with her head held low.
Seyena straightened up when she heard voices nearby, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. She stood up, grabbing her lance as she approached the new arrivals.
"Ah, are these the rest?" She examines the group in front of her curiously.
Taki had nodded to the lancer.
"Glad to see you lively and spry, sunshine.
Aye, a good lot, hmm? Except, well, stay away from the skeevy feller looking out the window, though." She said in a perfectly audible tone, shooting a dagger stare at Chris.
