"Nonono... I mean yes, but it's no biggie. Duri's with me." Ayariel sighed quietly, looking around at the rest of her team for a minute, then back of the druid. What if they weren't dog people?<br/><br/>"Duridwyn! C'mere!" she called out, and what at first appeared to be a shadow mastiff came sprinting out of the woods to Aya's side. On closer inspection, it became more clear that the massive beast was a strangely-colored cooshee, or elven hound. It was tall and lean, with powerful-looking muscles and a thick hide, exactly the opposite of its frail-looking mistress. Its hide was a deep blue where a normal cooshee's would be green, however, with black markings along its back and on its mane. It was a truly marvelous specimen, and anyone who knew a strong animal when they saw one could see that Duridwyn, Aya's Companion Familiar, could probably take down a gray render on a good day and outsmart a gnome.<br/><br/>"He just doesn't like crowds much, is all. So, what's your name, humie?" she said, arching a slender, exaggerated blue brow at the other druid. "And more importantly, how in Gruumsh's overly large box of sex toys do you know about demonic activity in this town?"<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
