Tali rode easily in her saddle, after letting BC rest and walking/riding along with the others for a bit. Oddly she was surprised to see that she had missed the familiarity of ridding in the saddle, one would think that given the amount of time she had spent in it that there would have be a relief to not having to ride. Yet, she had come to find out that she missed it. Perhaps she was meant for the road after all?<br/><br/>The new, â€œmemberâ€ of the group was working out well. She took direction well and was quick to catch on and knew how to pull her weight so Tali was pleased to have her on board; for now. Some of the remarks from the others in the group did have her, concerned. Winwe was particularly cold to her, which was odd, because he seemed to have this whole â€œlive and let liveâ€ thing going on. Truly did not bother Tali though, for she was merely concerned with whether or not the bitch could pull her own weight and not be a burden like the last elf.<br/><br/>Guiding BC over to Winwe she nodded to him with a smile, â€œThat leg still hurting or do you want me to rub some more medicine on it?â€ she teased.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Winwe looked down at his leg blushing slightly "well it's a bit stiff" he said back in a teasing tone of his own "you can rub it if ya want" </span><br/><br/>â€œI generally find that when things are stiff they only get stiffer when you rub themâ€ she winked at him as she played with the end of her pipe in her mouth. It was thus far unlit as the urge to smoke had so far not come to her. â€œSo what do you think about the Elf we saved? Good worker, no?â€<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Winwe let out a laugh from the joke "as for the Elf, she may be a good worker, yes but she is dispicable" winwe ried his best to keep the venom out of his voice and personally he think he failed, "is she serving you well then, I have honestly been avoiding her" he said in a i could care less voice</span><br/><br/>Tali took in his comment with a slight frown, â€œHmm...while I don't think elves are worth much and should be not trusted as far as you can throw them. She seems....decent. I mean she has been serving me well and in fact she is in the only position that I think elves deserve to be. A slaveâ€ her tone matter of fact as she ended her sentence with a nod of her head.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Winwe shuffled slightly, in his seat on the caravan at Talihas matter of fact tone about Elves before letting out a laugh, â€œwell she isn't bad really, so all Elves you say, so what  if I turned out to bean Elfâ€ he said laughing hard, he was laughing at the idea of her face when she finds out hoping it would pass at laughing at the idea.<br/><br/>Winwe looked around under his scarfed and pulled out a pouch of weed from his necklace, pulling out  enough for two pipes, Winwe split it in half and held his hand out to Taliha â€œhere I hate to smoke aloneâ€ he said still chuckling about his previous joke.  </span><br/><br/>Tali packed her pipe as she eyes him warily, â€œI would probably punch you in guts then attempt to cut off your pointy ears. Least then I could look at youâ€ she said in all seriousness. Drawing a match from somewhere on her person, striking it across the thick hide of her bull. Slowly and with care, she held the small burning stick to the end of her pipe, with practiced ease drawing in air to pull the burning ember onto the dried leaves, till the began to smolder.<br/><br/>Once she got the pipe going she took too long drags of the rich smoke, holding it in her mouth to allow the taste to truly set in before she expelled the smoke through her nose. â€œMmmm....nothing like a good smoke in the morning.....â€ she said aloud looking over to Winwe with a smile of thanks.<br/><br/>At about that time their â€œleaderâ€ called a halt to travel as some child rode up on a horse, sighing Tali spoke â€œWhy must we continue to stop? We are not going to get our bonus at this rate...â€ her agitation was clearly evident though the growl that she emitted was great sound affect. After watching the conversation between their leader and the girl, Tali leaned over in her saddle to whisper to Winwe, â€œ5 gold says that we have a new tag along pup to look after?â€<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Winwe chuckle stopped and he looked at her placing his own pipe into his mouth, and slowly lighting it and exhaling smoke threw his scarf, â€œwell that sure would hurtâ€ he said with another chuckle, as they jutted to a stop Winwe looked at the annoyed expression on Taliha's face and he annoyed growl, she lent over towards him <span style="font-style: italic"> â€œ5 gold says that we have a new tag along pup to look after?â€ </span> Winwe chuckled â€œyour on my ladyâ€ he reached out a hand to shake hers.<br/><br/>Winwe got to his feet his leg still stiff like he had said trying to look over, but he couldn't see a thing sitting back down he looked at Taliha inhaling more smoke and blowing it out into odd shapes threw the hole in his scarf â€œyou know, all these new people are a nuisance, I'm not splitting my gold with them, I bleed for that cashâ€.</span><br/><br/>When the caravan got going again and they were joined by the girl, Tali laughed, â€œHA! Knew he could not turn away another lost puppy!â€ she exclaimed loudly and proudly. â€œHow about you keep your gold and let me see your face instead?â€ she asked with a teasing smile.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Winwe let out a sigh and hung his head <span style="font-style: italic">â€œHow about you keep your gold and let me see your face instead?â€ </span> Winwe chuckled and reached behind his head â€œokayâ€ making a small tugging action he let out a laugh â€œFive gold isn't worth me showing my faceâ€ he said holding out five gold coins, picking up his now almost empty cider skin he frowned under his scarf at it there was enough for two mouthfuls, he took a mouth full and drank it holding the skin out to Taliha â€œwant the last of it?<br/><br/>Winwe leaned round the Caravan â€œcan't see them still not sharing my gold, so what ya going to make that elf girl do huh?â€ he said taking another long drag of the pipe.</span><br/><br/>Tali took her gold with a shrug, depositing them in a pocket before taking the offered skin and drinking the fermented beverage with a grin. â€œOh come on now, look at her as another meat shield. As for the Elf, well whatever I want her to do really....you know....whatever comes to mind....â€ she teased him with a wink.
