Selia gave Sergius her attention, listening to him speak about Ilia, while still keeping her eyes scanning the roads. While she had not heard of the fondness most Ilians had for their weapons, she suspected that Ilia's lack of much political strife had its source. Words that Sergius spoke about isolation seemed to ring a little in Selia's head. There was an ever-looming threat of war, and Selia's situation in Sanovar was not ideal.
"Doesn't sound too bad, but I understand what you mean about being isolated. Feels that way too around here..." Selia said, turning down Barker Lane.
It looked fairly obvious to see why anyone would feel uneasy on Barker Lane, as merely turning down it felt like venturing into a diseased, crumbling wing of society. Some of the buildings were either in disrepair or looked shabbily constructed. The road was wide enough for two horse drawn carriages but it would not have been a smooth ride. It was clear that some of the side alleys led to some of the seedier bits of the area. While Barker Lane itself was well-patrolled during the day, the patrols at night were questionable to say the least. Tonight they seemed completely absent.
Recognizing a landmark building across the street, Selia pointed to it. "There used to be a weekly wizard club over there... it since moved into the other side of town. I show up there as often as I can... I've always had a fascination with magic, but it can be an expensive hobby." she stated, shrugging. She continued to lead the way down Barker Lane, looking around in all directions, keeping a bit of a lookout...
Selia's attention was snared when she peeked down an alley off to their right, and saw what looked like the silhouettes of two men ducking behind the nearest building, as if ducking for cover. What appeared to be the body of another person was lying in the middle of the alley, but it was too far away to make out. Selia stopped in her tracks and looked up at Sergius, not entirely sure if she should investigate. Normally, Selia might have passed this up unless she was closer to home, but Sergius did state that he felt a duty to help others...
