Aure did her best to stile a laugh at the reaction of the crew, after worrying of course that their yelling would get her spotted.  He barely contained laugh came only after she noticed that the thugs didn't see her and were focused on all the yelling men.  Once the thugs finally let she let out a relieved sight, followed by all the tension that the chase had put into her.  She wasn't gonna be cornered or, strangely enough, given up by this crew to likely be tortured, raped and killed by the thugs.  This was actually a relief, and it probably helped to have an elf on the crew that had reacted so badly to the human insulting nick-name for elves.<br/><br/>And that relief thankfully lasted a bit longer with the captains reaction to her saying she would join.  Well, the smile disappeared from her face suddenly though when she was 'helped' up off the deck.  Ok, if she didn't need to get out of this city so fast, the fact that the crew had wandering hands would have turned her away from this expedition.  Right now all she did was once she was off the ground she grabbed one of the hands that had been wandering where it shouldn't and bent a finger back to the point of pain and glared at the human man.<span style="color: Magenta">“Never without my permission Shem.”</span>she hissed before pushing him back and letting him go so she could turn to Jal and the other elf woman.<br/><br/><span style="color: Magenta">“Aureslia.  I'm Aureslia.”</span>she said, introducing herself to the pair, having hopefully driven the crew themselves off for now.  Though when Jal mentioned going back to the taverns the small smile Aure had had on her face seemed to die.  If they went back, it was very likely that the thugs would have a chance to find her.  The bad feeling she was getting from those thoughts made it hard to offer anything more than a lame smile at the adorable try at being threatening.<span style="color: Magenta">“I hope your right Luna, I don't think they have pleasant plans for me.  At least their plans wouldn't be pleasant for me.”</span>she mumbled before deciding that it would be best to follow along.<br/><br/>Past that, she stayed silent on the journey from the ship, rolling her eyes at Jal yelling at the crew in front of them, and just followed along quietly to the tavern, looking around every couple seconds to keep an eye open for any thugs that may belong to the gang she had pissed off.  By the time they reached the tavern, and entered, she was hoping she hadn't missed any people that could be a threat.  And then as soon as they entered, the joke came and just got an annoyed sigh from the city elf.<span style="color: Magenta"><i>Yeah, and this little girl could probably cut you down before you even could draw your blade...</i></span>that was what she thought to herself as they made their way to a table.<br/><br/>Once there she honestly didn't really care about the map or where they were going, thus she ordered some ale for herself, it had been a while since she had been able to have a drink instead of just serving them.  It was obvious by her only slight glance at the map that she didn't really care much about it... at least until she heard how long they would be gone.<span style="color: Magenta">“Only a week... wouldn't something like this take longer?  If it was that short of a travel time, wouldn’t such treasures have already been found...”</span>she asked before thinking of her own troubles ... not to mention that the thugs will not have forgotten me by then...<br/><br/>That was when the company started joining them, first the large hooded figure joined them to reveal herself to be a qunari, a female.  That was something that Aure had never seen, even in the year she had been in the city.  She ignored everyone else with their looks and everything.  A second newcomer didn't stand out nearly as much, other than this one was a he, and seemed a bit flashy, and carried an instrument...<i><span style="color: Magenta"> wait a minute... wasn't this guy the owner of this Tavern?   What was he doing talking to us?</span></i><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
