Sleeping Dragon The rocky road to Dublin

Dio cannot tell yet if she came here with intentions motivating her or if it was simply the wandering path that led her to their claim. Even in plain sight, he still has many questions (her strange coat was only the very beginning), and it appeared that the commander attempted to find out some of it -- in a way. Her words may be a statement, a fact driven home by his looming company and scent all around them, but the stranger's response will bright a few answers with it potentially. He is interested in seeing what she may have in store for them all.

At best, he knows he may not be necessary here. The stranger may simply concede here, turn on a heel, then vanish in the next few breaths and they may never see her again. Or, the alternatives spanned far and wide, all around from good to bad alike. Dio remained poised and ready. He did not feel compelled to interject quite yet.
