>Well if she didn't need to use formalities around him then...

Well it's only fair that you shouldn't have to use formalities around me either. Melody will do just fine, prefer it actually.

>So he was just travelling around, and a year earlier then she did. Well he certainly had the power to do so on his own, something she envied a bit.

Well it was good fortune that you happened to be in the area when you were...

>Now she was weighing options in her head. While his abilities were great, she really shouldn't drag him into a situation where he was forced to help this whole village when she and Patrick promised to. But if she was going to beat those beastkin she'd need all the help she could get.

At least now I can plan a proper course of action to deal with the beastkin harassing this village.

>"I can offer little else but my body."
>And that brought her thoughts screaming back to the scene where he showed off much more of his body then she was comfortable with at the moment. But now that she wasn't in a live and death situation...
>Her face turns red and she attempts to mask her reaction to her own thoughts from the man next to her.
<"DON'T SAY IT LIKE THAT YOU IDIOT!!!"

T-that's good. Having you around will be a huge h-help.

>Taking a moment to throw the whole scene into the back of her mind for now, she notes that learning exactly how Rakohl was able to transform and it's possible limitations would be important. But she could do that a bit later...

Now, we're going to have to do some leg work. Learn exactly what we have at our disposal should taking the fight to them be the only option.

>Diplomacy should always be your first option when dealing with another person, though she had a feeling that these Beastkin won't be willing to cooperate. Her own sister's retelling of her encounters with them said as much. Then again, Victoria was not one for diplomacy...

Start from the top and work our way down. Melissa and Elder Farris would be a good place to start from.

>People with the kind of authority always have to be in the know after all.

It'll also be a good chance for me to talk to both of them about what strategies would be the most effective.

>Melody had the same thoughts as Rakohl. It was pretty clear that this humble village and it's people had little means to defend themselves from a threat like those beastkin and it may very well be up to the three of them alone to resolve this. But she had to make sure if that was true or not.
>But what was she to do afterwards?

I wonder if this place has a library...?

>She could see if there was any books she could use here. Hopefully.
>And another matter that she felt should be looked into...

So Rakohl... how does your... uh transformation work? What kind of limitations does it have?

>If she wanted to have him in her corner she needed to know what he was capable of.

Mmph!?

>Melody was taking by surprise at the sudden hand over her mouth and her eyes glance over to the man next to her. Though he explains himself quickly and she understands why this was happening now.

>Though to say she was accommodating of it was a... stretch perhaps? Neutral was probably the better term. She wasn't among the nobility at the capital that saw beastkin as sub-humans to be either loathed or outright eradicated nor had she had the dreadful experiences with them as this village had.
>If anything her sister's opinion had the most impact, much like on most in her life. "Warriors worthy of both great respect and greater cation." So far that fit her experience with them as short as it was. The first encounter made clear they were not to be missed with at all and her time with Rakohl was rather pleasant as he was far well mannered and well spoken then those dreadful brutes from before. She was on the fence about them, but she was leaning towards favour.

Right, later then. Uh... sorry about that?

>Really she should have considered that. Hopefully that was the only laps in judgement she was going to have today...
