"I was asking about some distant cousin, maybe. I saw one on the road, and she was having, shall we say, difficulties getting here in time. I pointed her to some friends of mine - and despite what you think of me, I guarantee she's still alive.

She had arrived late, but she couldn’t remember seeing anyone else on the road. Likewise, she hadn’t seen this priest either, which deduced that he and his pretentious comrades probably traveled another path to the event. Aevala disliked the idea that a fellow Sarista was having difficulties en route to the wedding, but she knew her race could travel through the worst weather and still make it to their destination.<br/><br/>Still, the notion of a wounded, lost, or elderly Sarista having troubles trying to get to a family affair weighed on her shoulders. It wouldn’t take terribly long to search the roads leading out of the location, not her eq   u, Aevala thought to herself. She gave a pensive “Hmmm…”  as she stepped towards one of the walls. “That would be quite unfortunate. It would be a shame if she missed all of the party--what direction was she traveling in?” she asked, trying to get some information from him,  knowing that it may be a trap or something else, but she was willing to take the risk. Aevala had become extremely cautious while traveling, watching for beasts, bandits, and the like. There was always some measure of danger, but the Aamanian’s words only added to her worries--as nothing ‘yet’ had happened to the traveling Sarista.
