"I am not doing this for my own benefit, but yours," he said sharply, closing his eyes momentarily before opening them again, tilting his head to look up at the sky. "Starting next week, if you are kidnapped again -- or something of the like -- do not expect me to come to your rescue because I will not."
After some time walking through the outskirts of Lespire, they arrived at an open plain, far away from the lights of the city. Trian closed his eyes for a moment, once again expanding his consciousness so he could sense sentient presences in a moderately large radius around him. There was no sense in being careless; although this was one of the better places to conduct this far from curious eyes (the people living here were used to seeing lantern lights out at night), it was a double edged sword. He was keeping an 'eye' out for any potential threats or interruptions.
Namely, Cragan. Despite Isabelle and Damon's plans, he wasn't one to leave his guard down. Tonight would be the perfect time to ambush them if he was not paying attention.
"Hm, this seems like a good enough place," Trian said, more to himself than Rosalie. With one word, two flames came to life by his shoulders, and with another, they shot up a few feet to hang in the air, bathing their immediate area in light. The plain was gently sloping, covered in tall grasses that reached past halfway up Trian's calves, making it more difficult to move completely silently. If one wasn't careful, there was the ocassional rock hidden under the grass, ready to trip the unwary.
"Wonderful..." Rose muttered. As usual, Trian muffed up a good deed with his outstandingly snobbish attitude.
Rose survey the area they had come to. Large, open spaces had always made her feel so small. But, she supposed it was necessary.
Her attention was diverted by the soft glow that illuminated their small little patch of Earth that Trian had deigned worthy. Rose idly hoped that he was careful with that fire. This tall grass would go up in a heartbeat with a stray flame, despite the recent rain.
With a sigh, Rose faced Trian and held out her arm beside her. "So, what now? You attack me and I defend? I have daggers, not magic like you..."
