[QUOTE="Malachei, post: 5820276, member: 38657"] Lórquelië remained silent. The neutral expression of the noble elf did not betray the turmoil that was inside her. There was something here that felt familiar, in a bad way. The thought hurt her, and her hand was clenched, unable to extend itself. When she saw the cleric return their comrade from the lands beyond, Lórquelië felt in part sadness, and in part hope. [i]For my kind, death is not the solution[/i], she thought. She brought herself to agree with the orc warrior, and chime in, [color=orange]"Indeed, impressed, as well."[/color] The orc who called himself Thok had risen in her eyes, perhaps because he had fought bravely, or perhaps because they had a demon-child in their small band now, and [i]orcish blood was the lesser of two evils.[/i] Turning to the paladin, she calmly spoke, [color=orange]"I am glad that you return, and have your seven heavens wait for you. Coming back must be a sacrifice, I understand, and I thank you for it."[/color] Paladins and their heroic deeds... perhaps they were so eager to take risks because they firmly believed that the world that awaited them beyond was so much more pleasant than the one we had to cope with here. The Noldorin shrugged. That was no concern to her, and her people, whose custom was to retreat to the fabled lands of Everaska. Turning to the others, she added, [color=orange]"A lesson we learn is to stay close. We could have saved her if we had."[/color] It was as much directed to the reckless paladin, and just to make sure, she whispered, [color=orange]"Be more careful next time."[/color] .......... When Ferviel steered talk to the tasks at hand, Lórquelië listened carefully. She did not know about military tactics of men, but what would an orc and a demon-child know about planning, and strategy? She had seen the impulsive nature that was in them, from their blood. She could not help but wonder what the Dawnbringer thought when he looked at this little band. [color=orange]"So, Dawnbringer, we are the vanguard, I presume?"[/color] [sblock=OOC] I'll talk about items in my next post, I felt it somewhat... ungrateful... to experience raise dead and a magic item bargain in one post.
