Ester smirked a little, hearing Mesaraih confess he was scared of her. Good. Now if only he'd act like it and stay quiet. Then she'd truly feel at ease. She knew that wouldn't be the case though, she was convinced he continued to talk because he knew it annoyed her. Maybe she'd have to play a joke back, make him think his legs were on fire - or something like that.<br/><br/>For now though, she carried on walking, feeling pleased that she was in the lead and not having to follow behind one of those two. The Dalish elf - who she'd heard introduce herself as Valehna - wasn't so bad in that she knew when to stay quiet. At least when it was just the two of them it was a peaceful silence. Then again, the human<span style="font-style: italic">had</span>helped her. Oh how she wished he hadn't so she could have killed him by now.<br/><br/>A sound of swords slashing together stopped her trail of thought as she perked up and looked around. Her ears twitched, attuning themselves to the source of the sound. "Shh!" She aimed to Mesaraih, dropping low as she continued up the path. Was it guardsmen fighting the Darkspawn? Or the blighted creatures fighting each other? If they even did that.<br/><br/>When she reached the edge of a clearing, she lurked between two trees that were side by side. Investigating the fight. What she saw she couldn't quite believe - a Qunari fighting off five Darkspawn creatures that surrounded him. He swung his double handed axe round as he slashed three of them in half, before bringing the weapon up and bashing the hilt against another, knocking it to the ground. He seemed to be another prisoner, similar handcuffs to what she had were around his wrists, though he'd somehow broken the chains meaning they looked more like bracelets besides his large hands. He spun round to take out the last one and she quickly moved so her back was pressed against the tree trunk, holding her breath.<br/><br/>Great. So now she was surrounded by Darkspawn, a Dalish, a human and a Qunari. What was happening?
