That struck a major chord. Working with the others? Eudial turned slowly on the spot. Her eyes flashed red.

"In case you didn't notice," Eudial growled. "I am NOT a team player, and I have never been one. Don't mistake teamwork for desiring my own survival. I am only taking part in this quest because it is forced on me. If... if I didn't appreciate the magnitude of the situation, you... !" She refrained from continuing... she didn't know what it was but Gaunt was really beginning to piss her off now, however it would hardly be wise to anger him in turn. And at any rate Prof. Vengeance still had a "claim" on her (the hat) so she couldn't ditch now, though she really wished to.

Her arms itched again, and turning away from Gaunt she absent-mindedly took out the bloody knife again and examined it. Yeah, well done you god damn idiot. Would've been useful in the battle, had you remembered it. Eudial again cursed her own stupidity.
