Alysia frowned slightly appearing more like a pucker of her lips as the man continued to talk.  He was clearly underestimating the contributions of the other cultures of the island and overestimating his own forces but now was not the time to draw these concerns to light nor was she sure how it would be received. 'Probably poorly.' she mused silently before allowing her smooth, unlined face to settle thin lipped.   "I do not believe I'll need anything besides a place to store my equipment and rest, Commander.  I assume I can wander among the people here once I have taken a few minutes to compose myself?" she asked suddenly sure that asking for permission first would go a long way with this man.  "also, when was the last attack from the drow and in what manner did they strike?".  The last thing she wanted to do is walk around in her armor all night but she wasn't going to risk being without it and have the enemy breathing down their necks. 'After all I'm sure they'll target me first if they see me.' Alysia slowly smiled at the thought and made move to excuse herself.  "I'll excuse myself unless there is anything else you would like to discuss?  It was a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Commander." she bowed slightly but never took her eyes from him.
