Miriam had to keep from blushing with some embarrassment at the human's points. He was right about not being able to fly or walk on water, the little smarty pants, and unless he was part nymph he wasn't going to swim very fast. So as long as she kept her guard up, she could fly away at the slightest sign of a threat.<br/><br/>"Very well," she said keeping her authoritative voice up. "We'll take to the other side of the lake opposite of your camp." It was a good idea to ensure that the camp itself wasn't a trap or where his weapons were, she'll have to check later once she could gauge how much of a threat this man was to her. Already as he floated in the water, he seemed rather tall and well built. But as nervous as she felt, her curiosity seemed to reflect onto the human and that air of sadness, even if it was a trick it definitely pulled at Miriam's compassion for all life, a trait that fairies have no matter what. Did he really not know what she is?<br/><br/>"I am an elf," she lied as she glides slowly to the water bed of the lake, leading the way as she keeps a close eye on the human. "Just testing out a..uh... new spell to help our kind fly and as you can see... it works." Miriam tried not to cringe at her lame attempt to explain her wings. Elves like fairies did have magical properties but fairies were stronger and more valued. She wanted- needed this human to think that she wasn't at all as special as he makes her out to be.
