Elariel's eyes studied Tae'loren with great consideration and care as he spoke. She could see a slight catch in his usually fluid grace that showed her just how much this fel taint meant for him. She wondered what the Druid would have to say to her, what possible effects the fel power could have on Tae'loren... But she pushed this aside. A bright smile broke on her face as Tae'loren reached out and dragged her chair closer to his. She let out a soft sigh as his lips found her, his now familiar taste sending tingles of recognition through her body.<br/><br/>"Things went as well as could be expected for the time I had," Elariel said, reaching out and taking Tae'loren's hand. She threaded her fingers through his, marveling at the contract between his dusky, rugged hands and her porcelain scholar's skin. "I managed to visit two of my old colleagues from when I was about to join the Kirin Tor. They were kind enough to let me access their library, and for the most part they were accepting of my purposeful evasiveness when they asked about my findings in the Black Temple. One good thing about the Kirin Tor is that they respect accurate information enough for me to remain tight lipped and pretend it is due to caution." Elariel used her free hand to flick some stray leaf off her robe before she looked into Tae'loren's startlingly deep eyes.<br/><br/>"I will need to go out again tomorrow. There is one more book that I think I need to consult before I can decide whether my part of the plan will work properly. I am hoping an old friend has a copy, but if not I know of one person who has it. Though visiting them is a risk; they, like me, came from the Silvermoon Mage's Guild, so I am not sure how much I can trust them. Either way I am feeling positive about our plan working out..." Elariel trailed off, her forehead creasing in a frown as she thought of the colleagues that she had left behind. She hoped they were okay.<br/><br/>"Tae'loren," Elariel started, her mind still snagged on her concern for Tae'loren's wellbeing. "You mentioned your druid would want to speak with me. May I ask why? Are you well?" Elariel bit her lip, not sure if she was prying, but she had always been too curious for her own good and she found that, with their new relationship, she only hoped her Night Elf lover was healthy and hale.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
