<li data-xf-list-type="ul"><i>Elfie</i>. Arioch detested being called that. More than that, she hated how Lynnira joked about burning the forest. The earth was a living, breathing thing. It needed to be nurtured and taken care of just as any human did. Burning did have it's place in the cycle of caring for the land, but now was hardly the time for burning. And this was hardly the place for that. Jesting or not, if fire was set to the forest by the knight, even her status as one of the Queen's chosen couldn't save her. Many would die, many would be left homeless, those left remaining would be in for hard times. They would need someone to blame their anger and pain on, and she would be the person they chose to direct their anguish toward. Arioch hoped that either Brand or Valen would be able to stop her in the event that she did fly off the handle and started to set things on fire. Then again, she had only just met them all and knew none of them well enough to know anything of them other than their names and tales of their deeds.<br/>

What bothered the High Elf more than anything was the person that just appeared. There was something about this cloaked figure that was just strange. The more she tried, the harder it was to get a ready of just what this person was like. It bothered her. Arioch was no slouch when it came to healing and medical matters. After spending most of her life fighting day in and day out for her life and the life of her comrades, she was rather good at the healing arts. That this person would not want to be examined was just as strange as the feeling they gave off. The gaze that the Elf shot the cloaked figure was by no means friendly, but not exactly threatening. If anything, it was a gaze that silently said <i>'I'm watching you'</i>. Her attention turned from the figure to the tiger near them. It seemed as if it were the figure's companion. That was somewhat surprising, but at the same time, it wasn't. Those with the power to communicate with animals often had exotic varieties of them as companions. This was her first time seeing a tiger though, so the presence of the large cat intrigued her. Intrigue and suspicions would have to wait for a time when they could afford to be given adequate attention. It was more important that they take care of what they were here for in the first place.<br/>

<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#0040ff">"I would be more than willing, however, it seems my help is not needed. It would be for the best if we hurried into the city and found someone who could help our friend here,"</span> Arioch said, nodding her head in Valen's direction. Her eyes turned to Brand, then to the newcomer and his tiger once more. She turned on her ball of her right foot sharply and entered into the town after Lynnira. For her to leave in such a way may have seemed cold, but the cloaked person - who had yet to have clearly identified them self as man or woman - didn't seem to like being around her. That was the one feeling that this person did give her. Honestly, it hurt a bit to feel such a thing, but there was little that could be done about that.<br/>

Rather than linger where her presence was no wanted, she left them and entered Cam.The city was a place that she had ventured to many times in her years as a Paladin for the Elven Court, and she was quite familiar with the city. She guessed that Valen had been here on some occasion before and also knew his way around. Between the two of them, the group would be able to find and obtain anything they needed in a timely manner.[/list:u][/list:u]</li>
