[QUOTE="elecgraystone, post: 4962575, member: 74232"] Ts'iri too remains silent. She really had nothing to add and understood that the warlord was much better at talking than she was. When they get to the door, she tries it only to find it locked. [COLOR=magenta]"Well, do we knock on the door or knock down the door?"[/COLOR] [sblock=Shopping]It's a gamble.
