Altima had backed off when Brand jolted up and out and began to laugh at his sudden nudity, it was rather amusing to see him getting so excitable like that.  But it was still driving at her mind: the possibly of going home to all that fanfare she'd be getting; embarrassing.  When the others showed up in the bathing area she sighed, and stood up herself, drawing her towel up with her and began to steam visibly as her skintone began to redden from the heat she was generating from within and wrapped the towel around herself when she was done.  She didn't really like Tsu'Ro, hell she didn't really like any pretty boy like that, they weren't masculine enough for her taste.  "Tsu'ro." She said politely in way of greeting.<br/><br/>She stepped out of the water and trekked toward where her clothing was stored and perked a brow at Arioch and gave her a small grin.  "Have fun." She said shortly.  "But after you're done, I'd like a word with you if at all possible." Altima said and nodded toward the tavern. "I'm going for short walk around the city but I'll return after a while. enjoy yourself." she said and got dressed, now wearing black long pants and tan colored boots with a tunic, belted at the waist as she walked out into the evening, raking a hand through her hair.  Her blue eyes ghosting around at everything around her but didn't' seem to focus on anything.<br/><br/>Ally did love her family and was always welcome back at home but she'd invariably have to suffer her sister's efforts to make her more feminine and she knew she'd be stuck in a dress by the time it was all over.  On top of that she knew she still had suitors lined up through the gates waiting for her to return.  Marriage to anyone of the three princesses would get someone into the royal family and that's what alot of them wanted.  Altima wasn't interested in any o fthe scrawny bastards waiting for her; hell she had yet to find anyone that truly impressed her. Perhaps that's why she was paying some attention to the elven guys as they passed, but it seemed like they had no interest. It was humbling a bit, to be on the receiving end of the refusals.<br/><br/>With a sigh, she'd go to find an isolated spot overlooking some natural springs and a waterfall and sighed.  "I don't want to go back to all that "Steel Princess" stuff, it's embarrassing and I like adventuring around so I'd have to find some way to get past those damn suitors as well.  I could just kick all of their asses..." she mused with a grin. "But that would give everyone else a bad stigma wouldn't it? But in the end it might not matter that bloody Lassadar can show up anyday at all and ruin it." she sighed.  "Why do we keep trying, it seems like no matter what we can do it'll get met by crushing failure again and again." She grumbled to herself.
