"...Who took her."
[i]Capturing was worse than death. Isabella knew that from the basics of war. And knowing what crazed individuals did with their victims..[/i]
"Which one. Which one of those [i]fuсking bаstards[/i] so I know which one to eviscerate first?
[i]Tell me, gods damnit![/i]"
[i]She was practically roaring now, yet Isabella kept her post yet. She motioned for another senior officer to take control of the base camp's orders, now looking at Rose silently.[/i]

Rose was terrified of Isabella, taking a moment to find her voice now. However she did manage. "I-I don't know. I found a spectral woman, a mage I think, in an alley not too far from here. She said something about Niki being off on her own, I can't remember what she said exactly." It was the truth, Rose only remembered the hostility, and the woman saying not to worry.
-
"...It's.. a start. Okay.. okay." [i]Isabella nodded, as if thinking before she would then meet Rose's gaze.[/i] "...We'll fix this. We'll find her. This is something beyond the Tribune, something that they wouldn't initially go through so much trouble trying to do.."
-
"I know that, but I've never seen anything like this before." Rose avoided Isabella's gaze then, not wanting to face the woman.
-
"...You can face me." [i]Isabella spoke up, then sighing.[/i] "...It's not your fault. Whatever happened, we'll get it fixed. We'll find her." [i]She rested the poleaxe upon her shoulder, then, seemingly calming down.[/i] "Get some rest.. we'll continue in the morning. See if a few mages can help out.."
-
Rose nodded then, Isabella's gaze for a bit longer now as she turned to leave. The girl was miserable, and it showed in how she walked, as she went to her tent.
-
"...I broke, there." [i]Isabella murmured, to Amanda.[/i] "I guess we both did, me and Rose. I'm concerned for both of us, but.. Whatever took her. Niki. They'll use her against us if we've cornered them: cornered, desperate wolves are always the most dangerous, the ones that you have to watch."
-
Amanda nodded. "That's too true, and yeah, I noticed it. The girl seemed heartbroken, and I saw you snap as well."
-
"She'd die for Niki, I can see that much. I need to make sure that neither of them end up dead. I'll be up for a bit.. if anything, we're just clearing out the city at this rate. Freya will give a victory speech.. the usual."
-
Amanda nodded then. "I don't have much else to do aside from go over wounded."
