“Isobel. It’s a pleasure to meet you.” As she explained her situation, Joseph took mental note of her body language and reason for being there. So far, she seemed honest enough. She didn’t seem to be keeping anything from him, and she did help him out after all.
He genuinely smiled as she began to look embarrassed over the situation. He was ready to speak up, when she pointed out his injury and directed his attention towards it. “Oh! Right, well. I suppose I lost focus for a moment in the heat of the fight there, and it got a decent hit on me.” The tear in his pants exposed a rather bloody wound on his exposed thigh, though it’s depth was hard to determine. “It doesn’t hurt too bad. I think I have something for this.”
Getting on his knee, he dropped the satchel he had been carrying to the floor at his side and began to rummage through it, the time he took making it seem as if the bag was deeper than it let on. “Here we go.” From his bag, he pulled free a small jar of salve and a roll of bandages. “Always good to come prepared, you know?”
As he took care of his wound, he continued speaking. “So you’re looking for something. If you want,” He winced slightly as he touched the tender flesh on his leg. “Ow…If you want, I could possibly lend a hand and help you look for what you’re searching for. Might be good to keep you company in a place like this.” Could be fun too, he thought. Tying the bandage off around his wound, he stood up and put the items away in his bag. “What do you say? You don’t have to worry about a cut of the plunder either, if that’s what you’re in it for. Haha.”
She gave a soft smile as he stood back up. It seemed her nonthreatening jesters had won him over. Especially now, one could never be quite sure how someone might act on Innistrad. Was there a chance he would go mad? Berserk? The mage was still unsure, but she couldn’t sense any malice in his current state.
Isobel gave a soft chuckle, “Well that is good to know. Unfortunately, the items I’m looking for aren’t really worth all that much in regards to coin, but I do appreciate the company~”
It had actually been sometime, since she had a traveling companion. Even if it was a short time, she didn’t mind it the least bit. Isobel found her missions sometimes lonely and boring, so this would be a good change of pace.
“Would be smart to have someone else too that can fight. I feel that these two things aren’t the only danger to be found in this place.”
Focusing outwards, Isobel’s eyes glowed a strange eerie magenta color, which trailed from her eyes and faded into nothing. The mage felt out for the pathways of light once more. They would lead her to the items she sought.
When she had a clear path, she moved to exit the room and head down the halls. It seemed that she would need to head down into the lower levels of the manor.
“Looks like we’ll be heading into the belly of the beast~”
