Still glaring over at Phye, Adeya watched this exchange with an annoyed and perhaps a touch disappointed expression: she had been somewhat hoping that the Highlander would overhear her. However, before she had time to decide whether or not she wanted to push the matter, something that Phye said gave her pause. Those watching closely might notice that one of her ears twitched slightly at the mention of the word “Arcanistâ€. In any case, some of the anger drained from her face as she looked down at Oriri again, this time giving the Lalafell her complete attention.
“You’re an arcanist?†she asks for conformation, her carmine colored eyes searching the Plainsfolk’s face intently for a moment before she finally frowns. Up until very recently, she had been working for the Guild herself and was still considered a member, even if they were no longer paying her salary. Yet for some reason, whether because they had never run into each other or because she had just never made much of an impression, Adeya was having trouble placing her.
“Funny. I didn’t recognize you,†she goes on, a note of apology in her voice. More quietly, she adds: “So why do you put with this? After all, you should know how to stand up for yourself.†From the puzzled look on her face, it was clear that the miqo’te mage was having trouble seeing what Oriri saw in Phye… or possibly why she had refrained from siccing a summon on her.
