I appreciate that, Iskierka. [ She says in return, offering the dragon a faint smile, before turning her attention back on her bag and pulling out her Beretta to casually (well, as casually as a girl that doesn't handle guns often could be) slide it in the back of her pants. ]

I admit. I'm not exactly the most skilled fighter here. [ she mutters somewhat apolitically as she frowns at her thoughts - she is suppose to be a college student, not fighter. And even with some of the training she had been receiving as of late, having to use any of those skills was always going to cause some concern for her – she didn't want anyone hurt because of her mistakes or lack of experience after all. ] So if we could try to avoid as much violence as possible, that would be great.

[ though she knows its not really likely to happen – the Kedan weren't exactly the nicest of people when it came to outsiders. ]

I suppose I'm ready when you all are though. [ she finished with a sigh, turning her attention in the directions of shacks, her brow furrowing as she mentally prepared herself for whatever might come. ]
