Tal tried to sprint as fast as he could. Strength was his skill, he couldn't move as fast nor was he as agile as Mesaraih, that was the issue with heavy armour and a large weapon. Valehna's spell seemed to help a great deal, he managed to create distance between himself and the wraith once it had to try and stay upright. Though it swung it's arms in an attempt to stay balanced and the Qunari was almost hit on more than one occasion.<br/><br/>"A slap was considered." Ester replied, her lips almost pulling into a smirk. It was a lie, she hadn't even thought of doing such a thing, which was confusing her as much as everything else. The elf wasn't used to feeling so out of control. She thought over his words - he was glad she wasn't upset. But then why did he pull such a face when she'd returned the kiss? So many questions.<br/><br/>"Why did you do it?" She asked, eyes dropping to the floor. Perhaps his answer would give light on all of her other questions.
