Elariel was so deep in her conversation that she was only vaguely aware of Aeo'leth's arrival. That is, of course, until he started teasing Tae'loren. She blushed as she smiled to herself, wondering at Aeo'leth's comments about their mingling scents. Her own kind never put much stock in such primal senses, but there was something about it that filled her with a sense of contentment. No matter what happened when the infiltrated the Mage's Guild, she knew that it had been the right decision to trust her Night Elf lover.<br/><br/>When Tae'loren stepped back into her side she reached out and took his hand, giving it a gentle squeeze. She looked up at Aeo'leth and gave him a respectful nod.<br/><br/>"My sacrifice is little compared to what the people of this land have already left. If anything it is my duty to help," She said, there was gratefulness in her tone but she did not want to linger on his compliment for she felt she really was not doing much at all.<br/><br/>"Right, well, if yeh all want a light meal we got plenty've food in the hall," Jelith said, sliding off his seat and getting to his feet. He made for the door and waved for them to follow behind him. Elariel smiled at Tae'loren as she kept hold of his hand and led him out as well.<br/><br/>When they arrived in the hall their appearance garnered a fair amount of interest. Especially as Elariel and Tae'loren made no effort to hide their closeness. Theirs was not only a relationship formed in the strangest of circumstances, but one that spoke to a dangerous twist in the current climate of their lands. Her own people had all but sworn war on his for abandoning them, so many would see her as a traitor to her own people. But she wouldn't hold with that. She knew that there would be nothing gained by anyone to let such hate fester. That was what got them into this trouble in the first place.<br/><br/>Jelith showed the trio to a table before disappearing behind a door towards the back that led to the kitchens. Soon enough a serving woman came out with a tray of food and drinks for them.<br/><br/>"Thank you," Elariel said as the woman set the food and drinks down, and she looked over at the fare. It was simple and hardy, but there was a wholesome smell to it that made her sigh out. After a long day of travel it would be just what she needed.<br/><br/>"Just before, Aeo'leth, you thought to thank me for my contribution to what is to come, but I have to thank you and Tae'loren both. You have both been fighting the blight for so long, and save for sharing the information I have found there is little reason for you both to throw yourselves back into the face of danger for my colleagues," She said, looking over at her lover's comrade with a deep respect in her eyes. "I promise that, once we have sorted out the problem in Silvermoon, I will dedicate myself to eradicating the blight that has torn the land we share asunder."<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
