<blockquote class="uncited"><div>"It's always better to tackle a problem well-fed, if you can. Besides," she winks at the half-elf, "you'll probably sleep more comfortably tonight knowing all four of us have already filled our stomachs."</div></blockquote><br/><br/>The half-elf definitely found herself outnumbered on this one; those bandits were going to ban-dinners whether she agreed with starting conflict or not. Her lack of 'real' knowledge about centaurs probably showed here, further evidenced by the curiosity with which she regarded the two in her party as they non-nonchalantly dismissed her concerns about weight.<br/><br/>If any doubts had yet lingered in the half-elf's mind, they seemed to dissipate along with a great deal of tension at Wilnomna's wink. Bowing her head briefly, she nodded reluctantly. "I guess you're right.. I hadn't really considered sleeping arrangements given the uh.. nature of our party." At this point Elisia still couldn't discern what madness drove her to<span style="font-style: italic">agree</span>to join up with this little 'herd' but thus far they were an agreeable lot; She wasn't fertilizer yet.<br/><br/><blockquote class="uncited"><div>"What's your favourite flower? We could plant a bed in your memory and fertilise it with you." </div></blockquote><br/><br/>..And that was enough to get her to go pale. She was definitely on-board with the idea of some random, nameless, low-life bandit taking her spot in a hot, gurgling belly if she could help it. Despite her newfound acquiescence she still briefly eyed the centaur's extended hand with no small degree of apprehension; generally it wasn't a good idea to get<span style="font-style: italic">closer</span>to someone capable of stacking you on their tits by next morning. Still, if the centaur had wanted to do that she probably would have already. Or she just wanted a half-elf dessert later. Hard to say!<br/><br/><blockquote class="uncited"><div> "Normally, girls only get to ride in me, but this is a special case, since you're part of our strange little herd."</div></blockquote><br/><br/>Sighing, her comparatively dainty hand placed itself in Wilnoma's, using the leverage to hoist herself up and swinging her leg wide and over the side of the horsewoman. "No, it's not a choice - everyone just needs to be a little close to me is all. Uh.. I suppose if we're all ready then.." Her emerald green eyes assumed a distinctly amethyst hue as she placed her hands together, trails of violet energy rippling along her arms on its way to coalesce between her palms, which she raised up to the sky as though lost in the fervor of prayer.<br/><br/>Elisia needed only a few seconds to summon and subsequently channel the slightly unstable energy before she clenched her hands, causing the built-up magic to disperse and find its way in to each one of the party members, all of whom might've felt a distinct, deceptive sense of invigoration. It might've been easy to move too far or to act too hastily if caught off-guard by the newfound sensation, but the Sorceress had .. reasonable faith in the senses of her newfound allies.<br/><br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;"><span style="font-weight: bold">Spell: Quickening was cast!</span><br/><br/>+1 AP for the party during the next round!<br/>1/3 Stamina remaining for Elisia!<br/>Quickening on CD for 3 rounds!<br/><br/>Note: All actions taken under the effects of Quickening still cost the same amount of Stamina!</div></div></div>
