The hulking Dvergar shrugged the thick heavy leather cloak from his shoulders, draping it over the elf beside him<b> "get tha' on, it'll keep yeh dry." </b>He paused, chewing his lip in thought as he looked at the storm, blinking as a bolt of lightning flshed across the sky and momentarily left stars flaring in the man's sensetive night-eyes.<b>We'd best get moving, but ah need you to lead the way to the palace, you think yer up to it? </b><br/><br/>Without waiting for a response he placed a large hand gently on the elf's back and tried to coax motion from her "ah'd rather not have to carry you if ah can 'elp it." he smiled lightly, trying to lighten her terror by remaining calm as he could.<br/><br/>Escorting the elf girl to the cover of a nearby archway he ducked under beside her to avoid the torrent of rain that had begun to thunder down from the sky above.<b> "we're goin' to need to move soon lass. Once we're in the palace we will be safe, aye? so let's get to it." </b>The Dvergar paused, before adding, allmost as an afterthought.<b> "I'll keep you safe."</b><br/><br/>Grasping the girl's wrist he gave her a firm nod, before leading her out into the storm to follow her directions to the palace, and out of the howling winds.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
