Elide
Elide isn't compelled by Aisha's happiness for her, not even enough to offer a smile or a nod of her head. She simply soaks it in, acknowledges it with no real sign, and furthermore dismisses it. She needn't Aisha's approval for her stoic ways and unsurprised manner directed towards the losses. She could appreciate it, but she finds that energy too spent already.
The confidence Aisha has, however, is tangible in the way she perks up and beams about her unsophisticated plans. Unsophisticated in a way that isn't negative, of course. because sometimes simpler is better. Especially by way of starting a guild. The more broad their goals, the more attentions will be drawn toward it, the higher likelihood of success. The mention of extermination, of coexistence, contracts and dragons does little to coax Elide's attentions. They're already firmly planted, and she is more-or-less blase in her reactions to the stir of information.
However, she does wonder...
"What resources do we have for this guild and all of its ambitions, then?" She asks pointedly, angling her chin to look more directly at Aisha. It sounds as if things are just barely upon their feet, and she is not in favor of blindly raging against the mightiest of creatures. Would she, still? Yes, but that's not the point. Elide has her own motivations. Others? Not so much. "How do you intend to face up against creatures such as dragons?" This time, she does wonder if Aisha has given much forethought to such ventures - or if she is simply.. riding by the seat of her pants.

never before had the song of war
been the song of hope ascending
been the song of hope ascending
