Lea breathed a sigh of relief as the conversation became friendly and the weapons could be put away.  She shrugged her shoulders at Jack's question, the ferret being more familiar to her than either of the two women stepping into the small shack.  Stepping out of the shadows to get a better look at them and to be seen herself, though she was easily overlooked within her small group.  While Sister Cortia's holy mark may have had a reassuring effect on Jack, it made her tense with recollection.  She had not seen Cortia before but she had seen that mark on some very bad men back when she was a captive of the slavers.  She kept silent though, simply nodding her head to acknowledge the armored woman whose beauty seemed almost angelic, so unlike the others she had seen wearing the mark.<br/><br/>Lea's smile was much more genuine for Curiosity especially when she saw Chase on her shoulder.  Though she didn't know either's name just yet she commented<b>"Any friend of the ferret's is a friend of mine"</b>as she gently extended her hand up to the curious animal perched upon the tiefling's shoulder.  Lea had of course seen tieflings before but had never actually met one.  She wanted to, but her halfling courtesy prevented her from staring at Curiosity as much as her own curiosity wanted.  She noted the hefty tome clutched so lovingly to her breast and remembered the diary.  She turned to retrieve the old hand written book and having no more use for it she offered it to the tiefling.  Lea had thought the diary looked ancient but compared to the text at Curiosity's breast it was practically new.<b>"I doubt it is as interesting as the one you have there, but you might find this worth reading before we head into the Tower."</b><br/><br/>Lea kept a watchful eye on Sister Cortia but other than the feared mark, she showed no sign of unpleasantness, in fact quite the contrary.  Still she would be sleeping with one eye open while they were together, of course she did that out of habit anyway.<b>So do we head into the Tower or rest up first and go fresh in the morning?"</b>
