[QUOTE="Fenris, post: 7014002, member: 2820"] Derngar smiled down at Rana. "[COLOR="#FF0000"]<You always forget mother learned me little Elvish>[/COLOR]" he replies in a broken, halting, and heavy accent, but it was in Elvish. [COLOR="#FF0000"]"<Not need herbs, need>"[/COLOR] [COLOR="#FF0000"]"OW"[/COLOR] he said suddenly in common again as Rana poked the poultice.
