"What is? I wouldn't take you for one to derive enjoyment from your enemies' fear..."
*She asked, half-joking as she teased him lightly, butting her fist against his arm in jest. He was clearly enjoying her company, the feeling being mutual for once, which quite surprised Elias - she was used to being positively miserable in others' company, on account of only being around nobility or mercenaries in her life so far.*

"Your laugh Ellie, how should i say this... It sounds exactly how a person looking like you would sound like, which is relieving since your actions and looks don't normally match" *He said before leaving forward to flick her forehead lightly, something that's been a habit of him whenever he's in a good mood* "That's for hitting me, and you've got a good intuition, i really don't find it amusing to gather fear from enemies, rather i'd appreciate and honor them more if they pick up arms and come at me with the hearts poured into the heir blades, their spirits clashing into mine, truly becoming aspects of warriors. I have no respect or interest in those who freeze in fear, not able to do anything else in front of power"

*The young woman blushed again, screwing her eyes shut and letting out a quiet bleat as he flicked her head, opening an eye at him and replying with a grimace.*
"Such chivalry is uncommon these days... I'm glad some respect it still."
*She regarded him with contemplation a moment, realising this had been the most she had spoken to a stranger for many a month, and she was definitely enjoying it - Draupnir wasn't an ordinary man-at-arms, after all. She sighed as her jubilation subsided, her melancholy - albeit a far more spirited one - descending on her person again as she leaned back, tugging at her mail chausses as they felt far too tight as she reclined.*

"I do so assume that the stuffy armor you're wearing has even more protection underneath no? I can practically hear the mail jingling from here, then again it does do a good job against stabbing shenanigans" *He said with a smile before grinning widely as a timid young man comes in with their order, visibly shaking and nervous so he decided to help him out a bit* "Relax kid, i won't harm you or anyone here despite my looks, but i'd really appreciate it if you hastened up a bit" *He said in a slow, soft and gentle manner, the tone he uses when talking to literal kids*
