[SRP] Manhunt

[Toogee]

Paige listened as Fred recounted the tale of the Black Fang and his intent to build a similar group. She was familiar with the history, as well as the stigma that followed that name. She couldn't say she shared the idealization of that group. Pherae remembered a much different Black Fang. Yet, Fred seemed to simply want to protect others. The fact that he gave his full name was telling to Paige. He wasn't a foe.

Yet she couldn't agree with forming a group to go to war with the Empire. Not when they didn't have all the information.

"It's admirable that you want to help others, but the Black Fang means something much different in Lycia. I fear if you take after them, the Empire will use it against you. No one has fond memories of Bern nationals crossing into Lycia to wage war, even a Lycia as divided as this one."

"As for protection, I'm not exactly a fighter like you two. I'm just a librarian trying to figure out the world we live in. My fencing is generally limited to sport duels."

Paige downplayed her swordplay, not mentioning the brigand fight she recently was involved in. She did not want to be relied on in a fight and fail the others.
