Elly moved cautiously back again, but when she saw the new girl, a sudden change in appearance overtook her. Changing in demeanor from reserved and thoughtful, she moves forward and outright<i>hugs</i>the new girl, despite the seeming shyness; almost as if she felt a 'hug' would be good for the new arrival. "Hello!" she says cheerily, not bothering to let go. "I'm Elly!" She seemed positively enamored with the smaller girl. "What's your name?" The unusually tall wood elf girl finally seemed to catch herself for having been so awkward and lets go, suddenly backing away and blushing a bit. "Sorry! I just thought you looked like you needed a hug." She turned to the other girl, "And who are you? I didn't hear your name... maybe I missed it." She smiled politely, still a bit embarrassed at herself. "I'm not any good with fighting, but I am rather good at keeping others from doing so... or fixing the damage after people have." She folded her hands behind her back again, seemingly deep in thought and staring off a bit. As if realizing she'd missed something, she suddenly nods. "Oh, and I don't drink, but I'd be happy to join you anyway. I wouldn't take the reward either!" she seems a bit offended, for what reason though, you can't be sure until she speaks again. "I mean, gold isn't really needed, I like living off the kindness of others, it is why I opted to be a cleric... as long as I can help, I'm happy with whatever I'm given. Even if it's helping these 'bandits' with their problems too! Maybe they just need a good talking to!" It was clear by now that Elly was, to a fault, painfully optimistic. Still, her bright smile as she warmed up to the other two seemed reassuring... though likely to not be too much help in combat if things came to that.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
