Re: Elynsor's Royal Magic Academy (Kat) GMed by Takimaru
“Slavers?! Don't even joke about that! Geeze!”
Dinn's comment almost made Kurui feel better at first... but then he lost the thread of charm it had and only managed to freak her out worse towards the end. Looking around at the others wasn't much better. Reius's complete lack of any apparent concern should have been re-assuring, but instead it came off as foolish, almost reckless. How anyone could have so little concern for themselves was worrying in it's own way. Anisse's reaction did help fill that void though. Kurui caught sight of her shaking and got some weird sense of confidence from seeing someone more worried than she was. She slipped a hand into her waist satchel and worked her fingertips around the piece of charged ore she brought and inched up to the window to see what she could see.
“... there's nothing out there. I don't see anything.”
She tried to listen against the door to see if she could hear anything else happening outside, but the other's kept interrupting her with theories. Part of her wanted to tell them to shut up for a few seconds... but there was also the chance they might see something she didn't and have something important to say. Nobody would catch anything else though in the next few moments, herself included. Listening so intently would make her easy to startle when Colt returned a few minutes later though and opened the door with no warning.
“Geeze! Knock first! You almost gave me a heart attack!” She stammered out, doing a halfway decent job of hiding her nervousness behind a layer of annoyance before softening her voice again. “So what happened? Did you find out?” She asked almost a little too eagerly.
….............................
“Thats it? Some cracks in the road... Thats... well... I feel stupid for not guessing it.” She replied with some tinge of embarrassment to Colt's rather simple and somewhat obvious answer before backing back down to a subdued silence again. She was content to just let Colt go fix the damage to the carriage without any objections or anything. It didn't take long for Dinn and Anisse to get into childish bickering again as soon as he left, but she found it hard to get too mad at Dinn again. “At least he wasn't shaking the whole time earlier...” she muttered to herself low enough that Anisse might've missed it if she was too wrapped up in the arguing. The repairs wouldn't take long, and despite being stuck with other people not exactly being Kurui's favorite thing in the world, she wouldn't let her relief over the false-scare get dampened by something this small.
…..............................
It wasn't too long before they were moving again as if nothing happened. Colt's question about whether they were worried or not made it quite obvious something HAD happened though. Anisse didn't try very hard to hide any of the worry she had... that or was a bad liar. Dinn was a bit better of an actor, but Kurui couldn't help feel it was a lot of empty talk.
“Worried? ...Maybe a little.” Kurui admitted “We have practice duels and stuff at the Academy, but I don't exactly have a lot of experience trying to shoot down arrows or anything. Things are kept pretty fair and they don't exactly try to actually hurt us too seriously.” her tone grew annoyed for a second “SOMEONE here was making jokes about slavers. I'm not exactly used to the idea of dying in an unfair fight if something DID go badly...”
She let it drop after that and instead grabbed one of her large ration crackers from her satchel instead, as if to keep busy as an excuse to stay out of being drawn back into this conversation. She was also kind of hungry anyway, she hadn't eaten anything this morning in all the rush and early preparation. The crackers wern't a full meal, but they were pretty large. They had a filling made of various nuts and plants. Her's were a lot sweeter and more for taste than actual military rations, but was otherwise pretty similar to some of them and would be filling for at least a little while. She was content to just sit back and leave conversation to the others for awhile. The only thing that made her halfway want to say anything right now was Reius. His silence bothered her a bit... it almost reminded her of Concepta's creepy mannerism, and she really wanted to ask him what was on his mind... but ultimately decided it wasn't worth starting another conversation about dangerous stuff in front of Colt. She already felt embarrassed enough freaking out over a broken carriage wheel. “I can ask later if I can slip away at the mine later... or you could just quit being creepy and making me nervous like this...”
