Tal stopped when Mesaraih moved to stand in his way, holding his hands up as if to say he meant no harm. He stepped back, leaving Valehna to say what she needed to say. When she mentioned blood magic, his eyebrows raised.<br/><br/>"If elemental magic is now classed as blood magic, then yes." Ester replied sarcastically, feigning offence. How did Valehna guess so easily? Perhaps she should have cut herself in a less overt place. "Now if you're done throwing accusations around, I would like to get out of here.<span style="font-style: italic">Especially</span>now."<br/><br/>The elf walked over to one of the intact rocks, placing her hands on the surface. She figured if she could freeze it, one of the others could shatter it.<br/><br/>Tal crossed his arms, studying Ester closely. He couldn't tell if she was telling the truth or not. She seemed offended, but wouldn't a blood mage be good at lying anyway? If she was a blood mage, what would that even mean for the group? He wasn't a saint, but that kind of magic took on a whole other level of evil.
