A look of surprise danced on Delwyn's face and she had to stifle a laugh. She knew next to nothing about animals, but with all her experience with men, how different could it be? She listened, another elf? They had another elf in their party, her surprise continued, as did her objections. She bit her tongue, a habit she had gotten into from years of isolation and abuse. If she spoke out of turn, there would be nothing she could do to defend herself, and while not as malicious, these people looked just as capable as those she had escaped from.<br/><br/>"I will do my best to tend your animals, and earn my keep." She stood straight, and looked around, some of her prior companions things were scattered about, including the armor and weapon from her captors; she prayed they wouldn't notice, or wouldn't ask. She felt a pang of sorrow at the death of the only people who had shown her kindness in so many years. She bowed again to her new masters, cursing with the knowledge, and turned, walking to the edge of the field, and kneeling, saying a prayer for the two who had saved her, only to lose their lives. She felt great regret, but would not let it weaken her resolve, she was still young, and some day she would be free. She sang a dirge for the deceased, a haunting melody with sadness and mourning in every note. The hymn was short, but poignant, about how they would be remembered, and always cared for by the earth.<br/><br/>She stood and made her way once again through the field, a stark view of a creature looking so innocent surrounded by blood and weapons. She stopped only a few times to pick up some items from the caravan that had been stolen by the goblins. She carried them to the two who had use for her, and sighed heavily. "While I am hardly gifted at combat, I know enough to defend myself." Her posture and tone were very proper, no wonder the elves had earned a reputation for being stuck up and snooty ass holes. As she stood, she couldn't help but feel out of place, she wore loose blue robes, bound tight under her bust to her hips with gold colored twine. Her arms full, she simply smiled meekly, and stated "I hope it is not too much of me to ask that we leave this scene behind soon enough."
