Round 5

Halia’s brow furrows slightly at Silra’s question—she hadn’t expected anyone to dig into the reasoning quite so openly. The Cleric shifts her weight, her hand absently touching the small silver cross at her throat as she considers how to respond. "I think it's important we all understand where each other stands before things get... complicated," Halia says, her voice measured and calm despite the undercurrent of tension in the room. "Verbal ground rules can help us navigate expectations without jumping straight into physical actions that might create misunderstandings later." She glances at Jeane, noting the Sorceress’s amused expression with a mixture of wariness and resignation.
