Tamaska listened to them in turn, smiling softly at Astiel and the way he greeted the other two. She found that the company eased her worry, or at least distracted her from in. The small smile that curved her lip was unavoidable as she listened to the way the goblin and the elf bantered back and forth. For some reason, she was not sure she entirely believed the beautiful elf's claim of being less than useless in combat. Something about the way she held herself reminded Tamaska of a predatory creature, a hunter. She let it go though, blushing as she realized that she had been staring at the elf again, her eyes lingering on all the places a servant of the light should not linger. She hid her blush behind her glass as she took a long drink while listening to their introductions. "It is a pleasure to meet you." She said, again speaking slowly to hide her accent. "I am Tamaska, initiate priestess, and this is," She paused, feeling terribly rude. "I'm so sorry, i did not even ask your name." She said, looking sheepishly at Astiel.<br/><br/>Her attention was brought back to the newer companions as they sat and Tamaska stared at the alluring way that Bahiyya's dress clung to her as she shifted. Shaking her head to banish the inappropriate thoughts, she tried to move the conversation along. "Mr. Emberspike, forgive me for saying but your employer looks more than capable," She resisted her first instinct to call him frightening. ",what, if i may ask does he do that would require a bodyguard?" Her eyes flicked again to the human and she was again struck by the feeling that something was not right. Emberspike disarmed her however, his words making the human seem less scary and at the mention of a heart of gold she gave a short, lilting laugh.<br/><br/>Bahiyya's question brought her up short though. Not just because she was once again forced to think about her predicament but because the elf's eyes seemed to see more than the obvious. The way her voice practically purred the word "dearest" set Tamaska's body trembling slightly and her face blushed, turning her pale blue skin a attractive shade of lavender. The tilt to the elf's face gave her the look like she was studying tamaska and she felt very vulnerable and strangely helpless. She had the sensation of being prey and did her best to hide it, although she met with limited success. Finding her voice she managed to speak. "truth be told, i am. I was brought here to see this wondrous city but the person that was supposed to take me back seems to have vanished and now i find myself a little lost. I am hoping that in time it will all work out, but i confess i do not know what to do with myself until then."<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
