"Word of advice, kiddo, don't cry wolf here again. No one will listen to you or even want to talk with you," The fox man snapped at her in disgust.
"Okay! Okay!" Serna backed off from the annoyed Fox Man, "Your advice is duly noted."
Serna looked over to where Willow and Irzen were standing and saw Neven with them. She promptly stopped screaming and smiled at the Guards and the Fox Man, "Okay! The Fox Man isn't scaring me any more. Have a nice day!"
With that said, The Shield Maiden promptly began to skip her way back to her friends in glee.
The guards returned to the post except for Sergeant Talos who watched the Shield Maiden return to her friends. He sighed as he walked in the party's direction, "A disturber of the peace is your new title, girlie. I do hope you enjoy you're new found status in Asylum."
"I think I will," Serna chirped, "Thank you for bestowing it on me, Sergeant Talos, I will add that title to a long list of titles I hope to acquire in our travels."
Talos didn't say a word to her. She would find out that having that title would only make her test much harder.
Serna turned to Neven, "So did you get it?"
"Yes I did," The Thief concluded, "Now I think we need to speak with The Fox Man. Or I should say that I need to speak with him. I don't think he would be too keen on you joining the conversation, Serna."
"Calish will only talk to you, kid. You're the one who spoke to him before the 'disturber of the peace' caused a ruckus." Talos said quietly.
The Shield Maiden hunched her shoulders, "I can't imagine why."
Both Irzen and Willow laughed.
"You may think this little stunt is funny now but it could potentially cause more problems down the road." The sergeant gave Irzen and Willow a look of disapproval.
"Serna did only what I asked her to do, Sergeant Talos," Neven came to her defense, "We needed a distraction and she provided a relatively harmless though loud one."
"She took one for the team, Talos," Irzen added, "And she did so without a second thought, caring only for the fact that her friends needed her help. You can call her a Disturber of the Peace if you want but I call her selfless."
"And self-sacrificing," Willow concluded, "What more could you want from a teammate than that?"
