The elf glanced at the hyperactive gnome girl next to him that piped up. He did not mind her being loud, and socialising was a pasttime common to humans, gnomes and other races - and endearing to him, since elves usually cared more about philosophical questions rather than personal ones besides the most important information - however the situation was one where they might not have a choice but to skip on getting to know each other, before they solved some of the problems at hand, or at least got more clues.<br/><br/>Raizel Dawn was one who would rather know about walking into unavoidable danger, than stumble upon it without any knowledge. Thats why he suffered a lot without any kind of useful memories. Gladly he still had his abilities, reason and instincts. Maybe some memories of Lenovia would resurface with time. At least he knew now that he had been fighting something before he got injured...and lost his memories - but now was not the time to muse about this. Instead, he should make the best out of the situation.<br/><br/>He smiled apologethically to the innkeepers, interrupting himself, then lightly placed a hand on the gnome girls shoulder, to get her attention. Bending his back and knees a little, so his eyes would be on a closer level to her, he spoke. "Adelaide? Sorry to interrupt, still, lets listen to the innkeepers first, ask them some questions - and later exchange our ideas, after we might know more. Please."<br/>The gnome girls suspicions might be true, just they attracted unwanted attention and could scare off the innkeepers, the only people who maybe could give them a better picture of the situation. Raizel was not even sure if he could trust them completely. But he had no choice!<br/><br/>He paused a little, musing if he was too harsh on her, by suppressing her lively ideas, then softened his words and tried to calm her down by answering some of her questions: "I dont know if we miss a<span style="font-style: italic">person</span>, but my senses can at least assure that we did indeed travel together - yesterday, and quite a while before that." tapping his nose he smiled and patted the girls shoulder, before he straightened up again, looking around to meet the eyes of everyone else in the group, not holding back his worries anymore. "It might be dangerous for us, if we take this lightly."<br/><br/>He turned again to Raff and Flora, nodding to Raines words - " I am afraid, that even if we asked for your names yesterday, you would have to tell us again today. We're deeply sorry for the troubles." a slight bow supported his words. Raizel was not one to be impolite, even in the situation that his mind had more holes than cheese. Plus, with Floras pitiful looks towards them, he really had no more face* to lose.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>_________________<br/><span style="font-style: italic">*to lose face = Fig. to lose status; to become less respectable, be embarrassed or humiliated, especially publicly.
