((My goooosh. x3 Xarces pointed out a goof I made in my opening post, now edited. x3 It was meant to be 'Rylee' not 'Ryla' in a couple of spots.<img alt="&gt;.&gt;" src="./images/smilies/shifty.gif" title="Shifty eyes"/>Oopsie! On that note, though, I'm likely to stick in a couple of my own characters from other games. x3 Feel free to interact with them however you feel, or just ignore them completely. It's just something a smidge fun for me, and of course, they're all perfectly edible if you so desire and have the ability to! Of course, in the same vein, they're likely capable of returning that favor! >:3 I also hope I capture the intended personality for everyone's 'ally' as we continue on! I'll certainly try, and if I get something wrong, PM me and let me know! ))<br/><br/>Honestly, 'they could be friendly' seems to have been the catch-all that Anastasia had used, pretty well for every single 'uncouth individual' they'd come across. The fairy girl had a wide-eyed sort of innocence that was both charming and disarming, though it had no doubt gotten her into more than her fair share of troubles in the past. Troubles that, fortunately, Alura had been there to 'sort out', either by clearing up the misunderstanding, or showing that misunderstanding the buisness end of her gun. Nodding enthusiastically at Alura's suggestion that they 'look nice', she continues "Yeah!  I, um, can't see a whole lot from here, but--"<br/><br/>The moment Johan hands Naji back her spyglass, Anastasia seems to perk up a little bit, practically<span style="font-style: italic">dancing</span>her way to the Drow's side, gazing up at her with big, hopeful eyes. Naji simply gives the fairy a 'look', collapses the spyglass, and begins to tuck it away in one of the various little hidden storage compartments in her outfit, only to stop when she notices the fairy's hand was still filled with wild strawberries. Thinking better than to upset one of their best 'travel foragers', lest she suddenly STOP getting a supply of those tasty berries and apples and such, she sighs and hands over the spyclass.<br/><br/>"Oh, yay!" Anastasia exclaims happily, accepting the looking glass with a charming smile, and pressing another strawberry into to the suddenly-bare dark elf's hand. Seemingly mollified by the gift, Naji pops the little delicacy into her mouth and chews thoughtfully, while Anastasia takes her own look through the spyglass at the distant individuals.<br/><br/>Tersely jerking her hood back up over her face, Naji sighs under her breath, swallowing down the berry and idly licking her fingers to gather up the last little hints of juice from them. The poor drow had been having it rather tough recently - she'd not quite fully adjusted to surface life yet, and the more overcast months of winter had given way to the bright and oft-sunny days of spring, giving her somewhat constant headaches "Right." She murmurs after an overly-deliberate suckle of the tip of a finger, rather coquettishly cast in Johan's direction as he detailed the plan of attack "...You are the oh-so-fearless leader, so whatever. I'm just going to stay back here, whatever you do. I'd hate to cut in on your pazazz.' It was her own way of saying 'I'd just get in the way', a simple fact that had caused the drow absolutely no end of annoyance, and rather often upset the delicate balance of her just slightly overinflated ego and sense of self-worth.<br/><br/>Prancing back over to Alura (Using the spyglass to 'see her way' over, which results in three or four stumbles before she finally bumps into her sister's side), she settles herself down beside her and leans up against her side, still looking through the spyglass into the distance "There's, um....yeah, four of them. I can't tell a whole lot about them. Um...there's one of those neko people there. No, wait, there's two of them. Aaaand...there's a reallllly big guy with a really fuzzy tail. There's a girl who's all white, too. Um, fuzzy, maybe? Aww, she has a pink tail. Cute!" Not exactly true - it was an off-red, but from this distance, it looked pink enough.<br/><br/>Compacting the spyglass, Anastasia tucks it away in a little pouch on her side for now, rather than returning it directly to Naji " I'll go with you if you want me to, sis! Unless we're going to do what Johan said and get tricksy on them! Then, I'll just hide here." Plucking one of the plumper, more juicy-looking strawberries from her hand, she holds it up right before Alura's lips so she'd not have to take her attention off of polishing her gun to have a bite "Berry?" She says sweetly, all smiles.
