"I wouldn't dream of it, my dear Ascendare" Vanitia said, as her magical energy dissolved and disappeared.
They'd soon approach a second village. The moon was barely over the horizon as well.
MEANWHILE...
The young woman, who was a Sylph, flew over to Sinclair and floated above him, her body lined perpendicular to his. "Hey there!" she said, waving.
"Bah, you definitely would, but thanks for trying. Anyway, do you think there's gonna be anything interesting in town?"
"Hi." he replied, narrowing his eyes at her. Seeing what he could now identify as a sylph, he is careful not to hold her actions against her.
"What are you doing lying down on the ground?" the Sylph asked.
MEANWHILE...
"You're right. I would have. However, to answer your question. I don't believe anything here would be any different than the other villages we were in" she said.
“Heh, alright then” Maxon replied, drawing his sword.
As he approached Elaine’s armor, Caelia almost couldn’t bear to watch; as she hid her face behind her wings, but still peeked out with one eye.
“Okay, I’m going to strike with the same combo……Here goes!”
And with that, he proceeded to strike the armor’s breastplate as hard as could; delivering the same four slashes, before pulling back and thrusting his blade’s tip right into the center of the armor.
"Other than bandits and wild beasts in the fields and plains. I'm not sure" Vanitia replied, as she headed directly for the village's inn. "All I know is that I don't like traveling at night. So, let us depart to the inn for the night. I'll pay" she added, as she disguised herself into her alter-ego; Giselle.
MEANWHILE...
Elaine's armor managed to hold its own against Maxon's strikes, except the stab, which created a crack where the sword struck. Elaine walked over and examined her armor. "It seems like the mix of herbs and mushrooms added resistance to flame at the expense of physical durability. Compared to your breastplate, my armor's less than average, but still useful. However, I do have plenty of other armor sets and useful little trinkets and accessories." she said, gesturing to the other armor sets, and referring to the items at the front counter.
MEANWHILE...
The Sylph smiled, as she reached out to Sinclair, causing winds to lift him onto his feet. "There. That's better. By the way, my name's Esme. What yours?" she asked.
"Sinclair." he said smiling. Realizing the sylph, Esme, is rather powerful he unknowingly behaves submissively in respect to her power.
"Say...Esme was it? If its not too much trouble, do you mind helping me out with something?"
"Sure. What is it?" Esme asked.
