Tal nodded in response to Valehna, keeping his fingers gripped firmly around the hilt of his axe. He looked around at the fruit trees and vegetable patches. All of it felt so real, but the reactions from both mages made him assume otherwise. He stayed behind Valehna, occasionally looking over his shoulder to make sure nothing was going to creep up behind them.<br/><br/>When the illusion dropped, he froze, looking around at the snakes that seemed to gather round the corpses of Darkspawn. He'd never seen such snakes before, not any with red eyes. He wondered if maybe they were demons. No, demons do not take the form of snakes, do they? When Valehna seemed to follow Mesaraih inside, he sighed. Why were these people attracted to overly dangerous situations? He shrugged it off, putting the axe on his back. He was sure the four of them would be able to handle whatever was inside.<br/><br/>Ester jumped when the true vision appeared, death was all she could think of when she looked at the snakes and the bare trees. So much for delicious fruit, it seemed her appetite would have to wait. Though it was almost gone from the stench of the rotting Darkspawn anyway. She raised an eyebrow at Mesaraih when he said it was safe, shaking her head but stepping up to him anyway.<br/><br/>"This is dangerous." She stated, following the three of them inside. Rather be in there with the others then outside alone. When she entered, she looked around the house. It definitely wasn't as pristine as what outside seemed to be. She wondered why there was no illusion on the inside, if her own house looked like this she'd surely try and make it look nicer. But she couldn't figure out the purpose of the illusion outside anyway. Why bother to create it, if you were going to drop it as soon as you had visitors? Was the old man trying to lure them in?<br/><br/>She stood between Valehna and Mesaraih, whilst Tal stood behind the three. Mainly because he didn't want to get in the way, which he did a lot considering his size. The elf flashed a glance to the human, as if to say 'this is a stupid idea' before looking over to the children. She was confused by their presence. Was it an attempt to make the household look innocent? Were they even really children?
