Aure groaned a bit as she let herself lean against and then slide down to a sitting position against it.  She needed the moment to relax as best she could after the run along the rooftops, and the the fleeing through the alleyways back to where all the townspeople gathered at the chantry.  And to finally let her breathing to relax , that was another objective for her as she looked around at who was left.  It was best to try to not to listen to the sounds of the bandits that were just up the street.  She was wishing that she had run, or just not been caught thieving, she wouldn’t be here in the middle of a battle about to begin again<br/><br/>Though music began playing suddenly, distracting Aure from her thoughts and the bloodthirsty shouts of the bandits up the street that the townspeople were gathering at.  Who would be playing music of any type in the middle of a fight?!  People had died, hell, there was a good chance they would die as well because they got stuck here!  She looked up, the disbelief at that overriding the fear that was sweeping in after the adrenaline was dieing as she rested.  Looking around she spotted the player and stopped all thought at what she saw.  There was another elf here?!  She had not seen him in the village earlier before all the fight.  And the tattoos showed him as Dailish, what would a Dailish be doing in this village?<br/><br/>In that sweep she had also spotted the archer, Lyle, and the villagers she had been on the roofs with and had fled with before she fell through the roofs earlier.  That hadn't been much attention though as the Dailish man playing music and the curiosity as to why that other elf was even here at all.  She hadn't expected to see another elf since she had left her home with the merchant that was now dead, much less a dailish that she had only heard stories about.  And yet there one was sitting there playing an instrument.<br/><br/>Of course the yells she heard from outside the square in front of the chantry and the streets to the south broke her out of her thoughts and back to the world, and she remembered how scared she was.  Immediately she groaned and curled her legs up to her chest and placed her hands against her head and started complaining to herself by mumbling to herself.<span style="color: Magenta">“We are so screwed.”</span><br/><br/>the coming yells from one of the Templar reached her ears and she looked up and saw the armored woman who insisted on talking like an idiot.  Why wasn't that woman as scared as Aure was, or any of the others?  The look at all the other Templar around her, Aure sighed and got up the courage through the lack adrenaline to hide her fear.  The look of them made her remember what she promised herself, she would get stronger.  Aure got up off the ground and moved over to the groups of Templar and villagers while drawing her blades and moved through them to Alex and Ser Katarine.<span style="color: Magenta">“I need room to move to be effective with these blades, and I can't use shields.  But I am ready to fight... I so don't want to die or be raped...”</span>she said to Alex and the Templar, while her mind appended to that without saying it at all<span style="color: Magenta"><i>'...ever again'</i></span>.  The fear she obviously felt filled her eyes, but as she said, she didn't want to die, and the best way right now to prevent that was to fight.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
