As they entered the elven territory, Altima had been surprised that they'd be greeted by one of the high elves of the forest.  Usually the reclusive pointy-eared humanoids left humans alone on the basis that they were simply passing through without any other intention than to follow the trail.  But this one had a nasty attitude and a smart mouth, hurling challenging insults at the trio of cast out knights like she herself was the cream of the crop.  Perhaps Arioch was, but they didn't know that. Altima had liked her immediately, seeing the elf's quick wit and boldness just brought a warmth of familiarity to the female knight. Now who did that remind her of though? Oh yeah, herself.  Ally had retorted to the elf's insults with witticisms of her own and could only grin when the other finally stalked off to pursue her own ambitions.  Luck would have it that they'd run into her again while she was dealing with a group of wannabe bandits;  of course she didn't really need the help but the trio had done so anyway and taken the time to explain their case.<br/><br/>Now they were on the road through the forest again without so much as a break, Altima felt like they'd been traveling for months without stopping.  She was dirty, tired and growing increasingly irritable.  But the design of the elven city of Cam past the towering gates took her breath away at how beautiful it was.  She'd never seen anything like it before and would probably never see anything like it again so long as she lived.  Which would probably really really short if those people that blamed them for Queen Kali's death ever caught up with them.  "So this is the elven city I've heard about. I had thought it was only a faerie tale you told childen to shut them up." Ally commented as they passed throught he gates, brushing some offending bangs out of her eyes.  The female knight was still in her armor, well consisting of a chestplate, bracers and gauntlets with a cloak spread over her shoulders and her bastard sword in it's holster securely across her back.  The wind caught up from the city, blowing her sunny blonde hair about for a moment and made the tails of her surcoat dance about behind her as they walked on.<br/><br/>She was well aware that they had business there but right now she wanted to rest and get a bath or something.  Ah to be feminine, even in the mildest sense; it gave her the right to complain about such things.  "Lady Arioch, I hate to ask but do you know there's anywhere I could possibly wash all this trail dust off? I think a break and a soak in hot water might help everyone, specially you lady elf. You seem the most uptight of us all." she said with a playful grin pulling at her lips.
