Amara looked back at the mirror for a short moment longer before she looked towards the door. She heard Orion speak and nodded to herself. "Im ready now" she said as she started to make her way towards the door. She reached for the handle before she hesitated for a moment. *I really shouldnt worry, at least, I dont think I should* she thought as she opened the door. "Is there something you need me to do right now" she asked, unsure as to what Orion fully wanted for earning her keep.

Orion looked at her dress and noticed all of the different pieces that made up her dress, which he admitted was a rather nice dress after looking at it. "If you have everything in order, I want you to follow me. If you are to earn your keep, then you will need to sharpen your skills and be ready for a fight. It will be rather easy to start, but I want you to be able to defend yourself in case anyone comes down here and spots you... or if anyone down here has any funny ideas about you." He told her, before another thing came to mind. "It also would help if you had some armor and weapons, so we will also be taking care of that." Sokoya whispered that she wanted to talk to him when he was finished with her initial business, and he took in a breath out of anticipation for that conversation, which he knew that it wasn't going to be unpleasant.

Amara looked at Orion. "I-I'm not much of a fighter, but I will try" she said as she watched him. Her blue eyes glanced to Sokoya, wondering what was said, but she figured it wasnt her buisness and she turned back to Orion. "Will they be alright with me having weapons" she asked. "I dont want them to think that I plan to hurt them or attack them." She looked at her feet, wondering what both would think to that.

Orion stopped after Amara asked him about the possibility of being a threat when she had a weapon. "I haven't quite thought of that, but almost everyone down here is either armed or naturally dangerous, so I don't think that you would be considered a threat... at first anyway. Now, let's get moving and get you ready to go." He began to walk towards where the lizard men live, knowing that they were the chief weapons and armor provider and he was even wearing some pieces from their handiwork. "I understand if you aren't much of a fighter, but you have potentially valuable skills, and those skills must be honed, otherwise they will dull like a blade that is neglected."

Amara had stopped when Orion did, careful to not bump into him. She watched and listened, interested that they would be so willing to help her, train her, and get her some actual armor. It was strange to her, that they were willing to do this when they hardly knew her. "Will the training be with sticks or something" she asked, not wanting to used a real sword for a while. She knew they were heavy, and she wasnt sure if she was ready for that sort of thing. She made sure to keep close as he walked, not wanting to get lost in a world she didnt know. *Why do people try to come down here to hurt them* she thought. *I've never heard of them until now unless it was romors.* She didnt understand why other humans would want to attack others who left them alone.

Orion continued walking as she spoke, his mind beginning to wander about how the lizardmen would act when they saw her for the first time. "Sticks wouldn't be a bad idea to begin training, however I won't be the one to train you... someone from within the lizardman tribe will teach you. I would train you myself, but I am not a good teacher when it comes to a wide manner of blades since I rely on magic and daggars." Orion told her, weaving his way through the different corners to make his way there. "I'll accompany you to the first few training sessions to make sure that they don't do anything stupid." He felt a bit strange having to watch over her like that, however he needed for them to earn his trust before he would leave her in their care and trust.

Amara gave a small nod mostly to herself when he mentioned stick not being a bad idea. *At least he agrees with that* she thought. Something about the idea of him watching the first few training sessions interested her. *Would they really do something stupid? Hurt me?* She wondered as she remained quiet. After a moment, Amara stumbled on something and fell to her knees before she cursed to herself. Slowly she stood up and brushed herself off before she looked back at Orion. "Sorry. I'm not exactly the most graceful" she admitted as she made sure she was ready to keep moving.

Orion watched Amara fall down and pick herself back up and admitting that she wasn't the most graceful person around. "And that is why I would like you to train; to not only make you more capable in your magic and combat, but to also make it a bit easier for you for normal things such as walking." Sokoya wasn't so impressed by her lack of grace but kept to herself out of respect for her master. Orion kept walking before getting close to where the lizard men lived, and he stopped short before turning back to her. "I'm going to let them know ahead of you walking in there. Sokoya?" He looked up at the naga with stern eyes. "Make sure that Amara doesn't leave this spot out of curiosity or let anyone attack her. If they do... well, you know what to do." Sokoya nodded without a word and Orion walked in and entered the lizard men's chambers. They had a special word for it, translating to home, but Orion could barely be able to speak their ancient dialects, so he simply let them figure that out. As he walked into the main part he found the chieftain and his engaged standing together and talking to the entire tribe by the looks of how many were there. He reached closer and the chief stopped talking when his eyes found that unmistakable mask of his, and he met Orion halfway to talk about Amara, walking somewhere private to discuss the finer details of it.

Amara seemed grateful for Orion for helping before he mentioned going on ahead. She turned to Sokoya, not planning on leaving when she thought it had been made clear she couldnt. While she had been curious about where Orion was going, she figured in due time she would eventually find out. "Would they really attack me if I'm no threat" she asked Sokoya. She wasnt expecting much of an answer, especially since Sokoya didnt seem to talk much. *Probably because I'm here* she thought as she looked where Orion went. She looked for a spot to sit and found a rather large rock. "Would I be allowed to move enough to sit" she asked.

Sokoya looked down at Amara, her gaze not changing in the slightest after she asked the question about her being a threat. "Humans can be dangerous, even without any kind of weapon, so it's an unwritten rule to attack any humans who are not bounded and escorted by other monsters." She looked down at where Orion went, hoping that he would get back before Amara asked her any more questions, but she did, and after a brief sigh she answered again. "Yes you may sit against the wall while we wait. And for further reference, please refrain from asking trivial questions to me. I already have Orion asking me a million questions, and I would appreciate it if I didn't have two flooding me with questions." She hissed down the end of the sentence, making her point clear.
