<div class="floatright">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/b/b6/Theresa06.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Theresa<br/><strong>Time:</strong>Day 1.<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Inside the wreckage of the Dread Horizon.<br/><strong>Tagged:</strong>Callenda, Sae'Ka, Selwyn, Valen (Brandon and Maron are apparently elsewhere)<br/><br/>The brief hug on deck lasted somewhat longer than Theresa planned, as the drow maid was was both bold and strong enough to hug back, pulling the fairer girl close.  The strength of the ebony arms wrapped around her surprised the bard, and the power of the grip on her bare buttocks was a shock!  She pulled free of Sae'ka's arms not one instant before the drow allowed, and the barbaric dark elf well knew it.  She flashed a shy, almost demure smile at the bold warrior before following her into the inky depths below the warped deck.<br/><br/>Once her eyes adjusted, she found the light enough to stumble along without tripping.  Usually without tripping anyway!  When Sae'Ka stopped suddenly, Theresa stepped quickly to the side to avoid running into the black shadowy form she could barely discern.  That's when she stepped on the body.<strong>"Yeek!"</strong>She squeaked out a near-parody of feminine surprise, compounding the stereotype by managing to fall into a pair of very strong and comfortably protective black arms.  Perhaps it was artifice that helped her into those arms when her fall began while she was behind the powerful warrior.  Perhaps her sidestep and stumble drew her even with rather than behind the barbaric warrior.  Or maybe her yelp drew attention and caused a half-turn toward her companion.  Whatever the case, she seemed quite content with the result.<strong>"You saved me."</strong>She told her savior.  Making no move to disengage herself, she paused a long instant before adding.<strong>"Again.</strong><br/><strong><br/>"I stumbled on something.  I think it was a body."</strong>She hung there another moment before adding.<strong>"I think it's a man, and I think he's alive."</strong>She seemed quite content to remain right where she was, inside the capable protection of Sae'Ka's right arm.  In fact, it seemed likely the drow warrior would have to take action to deny Theresa the support of her strong arm and remove the girl from that protective embrace.<br/><br/>
