OOC: Sorry for the late post Kella, thought I'd wait for Cam but we'll just move it along

Riconus nodded briefly, displaying the slightest of smiles at the mention of his involvement in the Battle of Centripax.
"Aye, I was there- it was the first battle I ever commanded soldiers in. The undead, unfortunately, were not quite as cuddly as one might imagine however." remarked Riconus with a sarcastic grin, before hopping into the waters and waiting for Kella.
Obviously, her sense of shame displayed her inexperience in campaigning with a group of men... or perhaps, maybe it proved the exact opposite. Either way, as she made her way in, undergarments intact, Riconus neared closer, if only to give her reason not to be shy or embarrased, regardless whether those efforts were in vain or not. If there was one thing the Syl noblemen could say he truly enjoyed about his new lifestyle, however, it would be the carefree attitude that he tried to apply onto Kella, humoring himself a bit by registering a question that was bound to make his little secret agent far more relaxed or far more uncomfortable.
"You seem a little nervous Kella, no?" commented Riconus with a wry smile and slightly raised right eyebrow.
"If I can notice it in you, then surely the drunks in the Portshire taverns will cut through your facade like a knife.
I'm fairly certain that Victoria will be able to seduce men into telling them whatever they want- after all, she lacks any basic conscience and will be able to lure men like flies. But despite your charm and physique, I'm concerned about the confidence you have in yourself... so, why don't you appease those concerns, hmm?"
Riconus neared closer to the shoreline until he was able to stand with the water at waist hieght, arms fluttering to shake off any excess water before crossing them at his chest.
"So, perhaps you would care to prove me wrong, and that you truly know how to transform your seduction into information?
I'm thinking of a man named... oh, let's say John Smith, and you want to know where he is. Show me how you would get the information from me." Perhaps Kella was sincerely too innocent to work amongst the drunkards of the city's taverns, and she would refuse the test; it mattered not, for there were plenty of missions in Portshire her skills could be used toward. However, seeing as Riconus was the animated elven Earl that he was, and with all the time in the world, it couldn't hurt to at least see if she was willing to prove her worth for the operation ahead of her.
