[ Quietly addressing whoever came in with her: ] I can handle him. Focus on getting whatever's glittering there.
[ Aliza's eyes glow a matching red as she moves away from her companions, hoping to draw the man's attention toward her. ] I'm quite sure I do belong here.
[His eyes narrow, then all at once it's like pieces of him break free from his body, bats shaping themselves into another form. He is distracted by her, but his familiar is not. A black dog that is too busy to care what Alizarin wants.]

Re: The Basement
[Without a functional weapon, mayhap the best she can do is get out of the way.
[Alisaie does not want to just get out of the way.]
Re: The Basement
[ A little, dangerous smile is playing on her lips. Yes, she's very sure. ]
Re: The Basement
Is that so? Why do you believe that?
Re: The Basement
Re: The Basement
You are one of our kind. I understood that much, but that still does not mean you belong here.
Re: The Basement
[ Stepping closer, trying to keep his attention ]
Re: The Basement
[He stands his ground, eyes drifting briefly in Alisaie's direction and then back to Alizarin.]
If you refuse to leave, then I will make you.
Re: The Basement
[ Stepping closer. ] I think you'll find that challenging. But we'll be out of your hair in a minute, if you prefer the easy way.
Re: The Basement
Then that was her mistake. Leave.
Re: The Basement
[ She's plenty dangerous even without her sword, but she's not putting Alisaie at risk over it. ]
Re: The Basement
No. Neither of you belong here.
[He debates moving closer to her, but decides against it and calls back his dog.]
However, if you are important to her, then I cannot harm you.

Then we'll [ take that little trinket and ] be on our way.
Re: The Basement
Having that does not mean she will necessarily take it.
[He looks sad as he says so.]
Re: The Basement
I'll do my best to convince her otherwise.
