Loyalty. Who knew anything of loyalty among these thieves, traitor and vermin? She doubted many would stay if the chance turned unfavourable for their leader. It was a fool's illusion thinking that others would stay when times would turn rougher than rough. Adrienna was not loyal. She knew that. Anywhere she went, she was ready to switch in a blink of an eye. Yet, seeing the limp body next to Eddrick as the earth soaked up the blood, did little to deter such sentiments. Uninspired to be devoted to a cause she was yet to be introduced to, inconstancy was her second nature neatly hidden deep within.
Thoughts that were momentarily scattered over the pathetic state of affairs were then whipped as her brows rose when she heard him speak in Lorien. Caught off guard, she hurried to understand what his broken words were to mean. As much as he tried and she could see it on his face and hear it in his words, her lips twisted into a somewhat cavalier smirk. What he was trying to propose pulled subtly on the cords of her abiding core of hatred she harboured for the world. He was proposing a solution to a problem she chose to ignore and as a stubborn mixed blood, resistance rose within her at first.
Truth be told, however, she could not deny that perhaps his horrible attempt at communicating with her in Lorien dulled her antipathy even if by a fraction. His speech in common then made it hard for her to follow the train of thought he was presenting her with, the tickle of annoyance returned light to her belly. Key phrases made themselves clear as if by fate to be understood, though. Intelligence sparked inside her Eidisi eyes as she looked forward, creating an uncomfortable distortion of appearing blind. She offered no smile, nor greed in her expression at the few things she understood that the Raiders provided. What she wanted, no one could give.
Niko was gone. She needn't worry about him, or take his thoughts on her choices into consideration. She would go to any lengths to make her ideal world come true. To create the identity she needed to feel safe. Weighing the familiar axe in her hand, she knew every curve of the shaft and blade as well as she knew her answer.
"Aye. Join." For now. They would be her means to reach the end she wanted.

I particularly liked how the mercenaries that had been concealed in the carriages turned out to be working for Korieji, and double crossed Kalid'hi! I hope to see more from the two of you in the future, keep up the good work!
