Aure averted her eyes from studying Atashi's face and what she could see, the sigh and look that came from the Kossith forced her to look away with the words she spoke.  Oh great, Aure was trying to be friendly and tried to get to know one of the people she would have to work with on this whole thing.  And there she goes, the elf messing it all up by being insulting.<span style="color: Magenta">“Sorry, I'm Ferelden.  We usually don't hear anything other than Qunari if even that.  I never knew there was a difference between your people and the Qunari.  Please don't take it personally.”</span>She said, now especially uncomfortable and nervous.<br/><br/>Oh she hoped that Atashi didn't take the slim elf's ignorance personally, the kossith could probably break Aure in half easily.  Yeah, that wasn't a pleasant thought and just made her nerves go on edge a bit more and made her a little twitchy, moving her weight from one foot to another.<span style="color: Magenta">“My interest?  I'm here for... umm... to get away from the city and the... umm... well, to get away from my job as a tavern dancer and barmaid.”</span>ok, two good reasons, but not the big reason she had chosen Jal's expedition.  She didn't want to mention that she was scared for her life if she didn't leave from simple thugs, and the thoughts that they would probably rape her till she begged for death before they killed her.  It made no sense that she was more scared of thugs than the unknown, at least it wouldn't make sense to most.<br/><br/>Noone here would know her past and the war she had been part of a war against raiders over a town at one point.   And the fear of thugs wouldn't make sense if they knew about that either.<br/><br/>(couldn't think of anything more for this.)<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
