Altima would continue on for a fair amount of time before she finished what she was doing.  She'd heard Arioch approaching and glanced over when she stopped singing and stretched out a bit and couldn't help but grin, feeling much better.  The song had helped dispel her own doubts and fears about what lay ahead for everyone, perhaps there was no real point in getting all uppity about it anyway.  Things would work out just fine if they kept their heads screwed on straight.  When The elven general spoke up Altima nodded to her, feeling like she should clear the air between them and try to be her friend at least.  That's what Ally needed very badly, sure the guys could do it but there were somethings you couldn't share with men...<br/><br/>"Yeah I did." she started off and ran a hand through her hair, seeming to be a nervous habit or something similar.  "I wanted to apologize for being so caustic when we first met." She said, figuring it would be the knightly thing to do to seek forgiveness and be willing to do the same.  "With things as hard as they are now it's understandable that you and I would both be uptight to some extent." Altima said.  "I apologize for any offense I might've given you Lady Arioch..." she continued with a sincere tone. "I was hoping that we could be friends at least. We all need them in this day and age."<br/><br/>Ally meant what she said too, she didn't want to be alone in the world and she could tell to some degree that Arioch didnt' want to be either.  If worst came to worst, it was always easier to face problems together than it would be separately.  "The guys are nice enough and all but there's just somethings you can't share with the opposite gender. and I hate to admit it but I"ve been kind of lonely for a while." she said, blushing faintly.
