Shackled City - Chapter II

Alinis nods thoughtfully. "Taking down the doors would take too much time. The benches would probably be best. Plus, we can store some broken up ones on this side, maybe find a way to hide them?" she looked at the others.

Considering the sights of war from his years past, Orpheus hardly considers the death of the creeper to be cruel; his reaction is all but impassive. In light of Zeric having his way with the creeper however, he believes that give-and-take demands the party rest.
"If Raven would have us rest, then let's get it over with," he says to party. "I'm not any happier about it than you, but we are not all subject to one will," he says to Zeric and Althron.
 


Alinis nods. "Alright. We need to know who is going to get the benches and who's staying to keep an eye on things here," she said grimly.
 

"I will go with her to bring them."

~It will give me a chance to help her understand my deed, and to help her see that compassion is not a trait to have at a time like this...~

"Aye, a bridge is a good plan, I'm not exactly made for jumpin." Althron nods as Zeric states his intent to go help get the benches.
 


They passed the body of the dead creeper, Zeric looked over and saw that Raven kept her eyes facing forward and if she saw the body, which Zeric trusted that she had, she made no mention of it.

Turning to face her slightly while they walked, Zeric's voice softened and Raven once again heard his surprisingly pleasing baritone voice.

"I do not doubt that you find my actions wrong, but you must accept that while you may not agree with what I did, it was the right coarse to take. Those who prey upon the weak see compassion as a weakness, and there are times when sadly they are right. Compassion is also a wonderful thing. It is what makes me push the others to see that we are the children's only hope. If we fail them, then truly all is lost..."
 

Alinis settles back, keeping an eye out for trouble. Dispite her relaxed pose, she is quite ready to answer trouble with trouble of her own.
