Her brow lofted again at the human's insistence that he could take care of himself.<em>"Very well..." </em>she would not press the matter, if he preferred to stand alone in battle so be it she would not argue; it would certainly make her life easier.  She did not think it possible for there to be two worse companions picked for her.  A human mage with illusions that he could stand against a raiding party of Forsaken and the like alone with no apparent sense of loyalty to the goals and missions of the Alliance which the Draenei had so recently joined. And a bloody orc of all things.  She shook her head lightly watching as he summoned his felsteed.  A radiant light surrounded her as she summoned her own mount, the large war horse heavily barded and shimmering faintly a bright counter point to the beast which the orc rode. They garnered more than a few odd looks as they made there way up into the Forest, the guards at the City's gates even double taking.<br/><br/>It seemed she would ignore Emrik's introduction and she certainly had no intention of gifting the Orc with her name, but if they were to fight and bleed together.  With a small sigh she nodded to them both.<em>"Mihaela..."</em>that was it, no explanation, no title, no surname;  she did not need one her people were so few in number that a first name sufficed.<br/><br/>She rode without further comment listening as Duran explained about the raiders her expression unchanging.  It was a dismal set up for trio.  The three of them against an entire band who had apparently managed to over run the Marsh patrols? Dismal, yes, but not impossible.  She knew the Marsh well enough, there were places which would help negate their aerial tactics, the warlock and the mage had ranged capabilities which was promising, but any plan which hinged upon them performing well did not sit well with her.<em>  "Buildings can be rebuilt and reclaimed ..."</em>she should know her kind had done so often enough in the past.<em>"They will not care for much beyond their lives... You say they are primarily rouges and warriors? They will have to close to fight, their mounts will not serve them well, if they chose to fight at all.  Cowards and deceivers, you should know the type well..."</em>she could not help the dig.<em>"Where would they retreat to with their.. spoils?"<br/></em><br/>
