Blood Reborn

The room was dark. This wasn't the office she had been fired in, this was the interrogation room. She had been escorted here on her enterance into the Blood Knight headquarters by two heavily armed Knights, who treated her with suspicion, and who hardly said a word to her despite her greeting. She had been almost tossed into the small room and told to seat herself in the chair in the center.
She had sat there for Blood knows how long, and she became somewhat frustrated. She was invited here as a guest, not as a prisoner. Or so the letter she grasped in her hand said. She lifted it again, igniting her other hand in a dull arcane flame, so that she may better read it.
The door she had previously entered opened shortly afterwards, and her eyes squinted as a result of the light that now poured into the room. No sooner was it shut that a large arcane brazier in the corner of the room was set ablaze. The Blood Knight who entered the room merely shook his head and laughed, somewhat mockingly.
"You didn't see the brazier over there? You sat in the dark this whole time? Ah, perhaps we ought to start telling people about that.". He grinned.
Sariella sat there, frowning a bit. She didn't know whether to smack this fool for his arrogance or simply nod in agreement. She nodded.
"Let us tarry no longer. Forgive my absense, I had to retrieve your records. I have been looking over them... quite an interesting lady you are, Sunblossom. 1 count of desertion, 1 count of aiding a traitor- Oh, I see this has been cast aside-"
"Aiding a traitor?!" Sariella spat, sitting forward in her chair, making her ferocious glare extremely obvious.
"I said it had been cast aside. Sit back in your seat, would you? Dwin'urdrenn has been cleared of her crimes.", he sighed. Sariella merely replied with a mixed smirk.
"You have been invited back here to discuss the terms of your readmission into the Order. I am in no mood to negotiate, however, and as the result of this conversation ultimately falls to me and me alone, I offer you this: The rank of Knight, provided you are positioned within the Sunfire Vanguard.".
He grinned at Sariella, believing he had just done something she'd hate. The Sunfire Vanguard's reputation is that of swine, of rejects. Sariella, however, knew different. She simply chuckled, in knowledge that this was intended to aggravate and insult her, and in the knowledge that it failed.
"Have you really been looking over my records? Really? I accept your proposal, and I will make my way to the outfitters to retrieve my equipment as suited to my rank. Whilst I do that I suggest you read those papers again, with due care this time. Where am I to meet with the Vanguard?"
He blinked, shaking his head in disbelief. "Uh... The Thalassian Pass... You'll need a letter from me before... you go. Go get changed and... come back here when you're ready.".
She grinned at him, standing and making her exit, needing no directions as to where she is headed.
