She watches, bemused, as the others slowly arrive and then want to rush back into the fight. "Well, sure, that's why I left the rest of you to go scouting," Alizome says to Jules. The fox-woman changes shape, drawing Alizome's full attention with ears taut and pointed at the silent shapeshifting- "Nice," is her only comment. "I'll let the others introduce themselves, honestly. I'd hate to be inadvertently rude enough to get something wrong with people I'd been traveling with. If I want to be that rude it'll be on purpose."<br/><br/>Once the gnoll wakes up, she gives him a wide berth- couldn't be sure if he was one of the stupid ones or one of the smart ones this early. Letting herself relax, she gives the other awake-ee a cheeful grin when he begins to talk and doesn't have much of the unthinking savage in his voice. "Alizome, thief and courtesan." The blond elf repeats herself, looking the gnoll up and down in a bluntly appraising way- lingering somewhere well below his face- and nodding to herself. "Good to hear. We've been lacking someone who can stand toe to toe with a lot of the things that get in our way, to the point where my slim elf ass had to take more abuse than it was meant to by the gods. Also good to have another strong man in the party in general. No help for the headache, though, but I've always felt one of the better cures for pain is to give it to others and there's still quite a lot of lizardmen left, eh? And maybe while you lot do that I can slip in through the roof, grab the artifact, and run like hell to a rendezvous point for everyone else to meet at once they're done." She pauses, and adds, "Come to that, may need someone else to actually identify the thing along with me."
