[QUOTE="Myth and Legend, post: 5124250, member: 82679"] Lora felt relief as the situation lost some of it's tension and the group returned around the table. The girl eyed Tira as she sat next to Claude. Something bugged Lora, as she moved her gaze back and forth from Tira to Jareth - the same bright red hair, the same piercing green eyes, similar facial structure... She was used to noticing the similarities between herself and her own brother Arthur and now Lora tried to figure if those two had some sort of family relation - bloodlines were apparent when one could piece the similarities together and use calm logic to examine the evidence. Lora didn't want to keep Vance waiting, and she was glad the group had finally started acknowledging her authority. Trusting them to speak for the group was good, even though she wasn't nearly as eloquent as Claude, nor did she know highspeak like Onesimus. The girl decided to answer the young noble's question without delay, while she still kept her gaze on Tira and occasionally on Jareth. [COLOR=DarkOrange]"Yes, Martoumum Stonebreaker.
