"Yes, as a matter of fact," Isokla scowled, glaring at Kagarioni, "If that's your idea of explaining the current situation to Lord Ydalon then you've a long way to go. Hold out your hand." Assuming Kagarioni does so, Isokla will smack it lightly across the palm with her switch, "Now go back and do a better job, or need I explain the current state of affairs, hmm?" Chiding her further, Isokla finished, "You're not pleasing me, apprentice, and this is not off to a good start. Try harder." The young woman glared and walked over to Ydalon, leaving Kagarioni to tag along behind...
Addressing him in a semi-formal manner, Isokla began, "I hope I am not disturbing you, my lord." her eyes flickered towards Kagarioni, "Due to recent events... our circumstances have changed, somewhat. I have been... persuaded to stay on, if you'll still have me. Naturally, I'll defer to your leadership in all things save my apprentice, and I won't challenge your authority, provided it does not overly endanger this group." her eyes flickered at the rest of them, "Although, I wish to have nothing to do with some of these... misfits is too harsh a word, so instead, I'll use 'characters'." It was clear she was still not overly pleased with certain personages. "But I digress, for now, our interests are aligned. My skills are at your disposal." With a small smile, she finished, "And that, my dear Lord Ydalon, is as much a pledge of allegiance as you're going to get." Inclining her head towards him, she added finally, "I apologise for my apprentice's lack of manners. Please forgive her; it is clear she is still a child in many aspects. I would ask that you show lenience’ I assure you, I will insure my utmost that it does not happen again." Isokla scowled, “For one noble born… …she seems to have forgotten how to address her superiors…” It seemed clear that Isokla was embarrassed by her newly appointed apprentice’s actions and perhaps, this was the reason she was being overly polite. Either that, or she was setting an example to follow.
