<strong>Ruvena Marlow</strong><br/><br/>Ruvena's eyes were locked on the mage, his body language and facial expression, particularly his eyes, were most telling. For the most part templars weren't trained to interact with people all that well, infact they weren't trained in anything like that at all. Tracking down apostates and blood mages without phylacteries generally boiled down to luck and someone coming forward with information. Seekers on the other hand, required such skills much more than templars. Though she didn't know many, Ruvena suspected many were templars who had developed some skill at understanding people before they spoke, or showed remarkable investigative skills.<br/><br/><em>"Survivors?"</em>Ruvena heard from behind her. She didn't immediately look, she glanced at Marc briefly before slowly turning her head to look at this new person. What she saw was a man in a hooded cloak standing at the edge of the clearing. He looked a little small for a man , possibly a child or more likely an elf, from the tone of his voice. He certainly wasn't a circle mage, possibly an apostate, if a mage at all. She watched him briefly, but her point of concern was always Marc, and she didn't leave him unwatched for more than a second or two at a time. She wasn't sure what but he wasn't telling her something, either something of his own doing or possibly because he feared this woman. Most likely, the latter, even if this mage wasn't nearly as powerful as she thought.<br/><br/>Ruvena again looked at this new man, and decided he was either a chasind man, or young man by his stature, a Dalish elf or a surviving city elf from the army, or some kind of scout and survivor from Ostagar. Either way, she didn't know who he was, but as he was not a templar, circle mage or the man she was after, she didn't really care what he wanted. "<strong>Not of Ostagar.</strong>" She responded quickly, grabbing Gale by the arms and pivoting slightly so she wouldn't have to turn so much to look at either Marc or this stranger. "<strong>We're all just caught up in the aftermath, but fortunately, none of us were there.</strong>"
