Shyeal took a few moments to recover and even acknowledge Mneta again, shock wasn't kidding. Mneta said something about protection. "By the gods...what could you need that to protect from..?" she said taking a few moments, "S-sorry Mneta, I've seen violence before by that..." she tried to shake it off, it would take her a little while to process that one. She took a breath of relief when she heard Cheerwind, her distraction was a godsend right now. "Cheerwind, you're good. No worries, I kinda of have an artifact that would've kept me safe in the end anyway." she said not wanting to disclose it's exact nature.<br/><br/>Act as their diplomat?! Shyeal thought they must be nuts. Still she'd give the gnomes a meak smile when they arrived. Not sure if she should admit to having absolutely no idea what what she was doing to the gnomes or not. Protect their interests? What could they be meaning? She had no idea how to be a diplomat, she was a huntress, and a scout. She blinked a little and decided her best bet was to just simply stick to what she knew and hope for the best. Representing the elves as a whole though? That was, that was something she had only ever dreamed of in her wildest fantasies. Still, she'd lead the diplomats to Mneta, giving her friend a brief helpless look. "I um...I guess we need to meet up with your captain and have that...long chat we always expected someone would have..." Shyeal laughed a little nervously "I guess they made me the diplomat to represent the elves.." Poor 113 year young me...
