A huff of relief escaped from between Elariel's bow shaped lips at the druid's words. It was a lot to think about, a lot to take on. She had only just met the Hunter, only just started to acquaint herself with the wonders of the passionate male. She could sense the pain in him, the discord, the yearning. She had been there herself, she had been through a transition like the one that he was raging against. In a way she was probably one of the best people to help him, yet she wasn't sure she would be good enough to do so. She wanted to, even the thought of leaving him in the agony of his thoughts alone was too much. She thought back to what happened earlier in their room, where he had bared his heart and confessed his love. The memory made her stomach fill with butterflies and her cheeks heat with pleasure. Yes, perhaps she could help him after all. Tae'loren had too much to give, too much that he could do in this blasted world, to let him get caught in his vengeance.<br/><br/>Elariel reached out one pale fingered hand, taking the root cup and appreciating the wonderful form of it. She was used to the High Elf and Blood Elf wares, the finely wrought and intricately decorated items of her culture. This cup though, simple and natural as it was, was nothing short of exquisite. She had long believed that the chasm between her people and Tae'loren's was ill-advised, they had too much to learn from each other.<br/><br/>So Elariel nodded before taking a sip of water and reaching for some bread.<br/><br/>"I have no intention of letting his regrets and fears consume him. Tae'loren is-" Elariel stopped, so many words coming to mind to describe the Hunter. "He is special. He is incredible. I will do whatever I can to make help him realise that."<br/><br/>Elariel took a piece of honeyed bread with an appreciative hum of thanks and took a bite, sighing at the rich tastes of it all.<br/><br/>"So... Tae'loren thinks that he has brought me here so that you can warn me about him. I think he fears that the truth will turn me from him. But it won't. What would you tell me instead then? What do I need to know to make sure we do not lose him?"<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
