I was thinking along the same lines as you, Hannibal, in that since they have become friends, Brennisen likes to travel with Kirien whenever she takes her excursions to various pubs, inns, etc. in surrounding towns and cities.  She thinks she's going with her friend as a protector on the road during her travels, and indeed, since they have become closer friends, she won't trust that duty to anyone else.<br/><br/>Around Yesqwyn, Brennisen is fairly comfortable, though she is a bit in awe of the other half-elf's confidence and outgoing nature.  Brennisen is the sort to sit quietly out of the way and observe, rather than seek the attention.  In fact, that is what her training as a ranger instilled in her, and where Kirien gathers information by talking and visiting with people on her travels, Brennisen gathers information too, in her own way, by observing signs, tracks, people, and goings on in the surrounding countryside during her 'patrols', etc.<br/><br/>Although she mostly lives in her small tent on the outskirts of Beratana, She likes creature comforts as much as anyone, and gets into town two or three times a week.  When she does go into town, she makes it a point to visit Kirien and would meet anyone staying with the high elf while on one of these visits.<br/><br/>The young Ranger is still shy and a bit intimidated by Enastril, him being a high elf of pure blood, of high social status, and also highly educated.  All of the things Brennisen is not.  In fact, she is practically at the opposite end of the spectrum in every way.  It doesn't help that he's very good looking too.  ;D
