He quietly observed the captain and the people he was questioning and chatting with. He wondered how the tall elf would choose those that would go on this perilous journey. Watching the eyes of the elf, thinking that those chosen may not return, and how it would affect the captain. Rel thought that Kaelen knew he needed to pick those who would be most qualified, and talented.<br/><br/>The ranger's gaze fell to the floor, he felt competent enough to do as the former ranger had done. He would stand with the team of them and he would give his life to insure the success of this mission. A mission that had to be done, and had to be completed. For all of the elves...<br/><br/>The deep breath he took steadied him as he lifted his gaze back up to Captain Brightarrow. For his family's safety, for the king's family, for everyone...and his forest, he was prepared to guard and protect each member of the team. He stood tall, and set his shoulders back, and waited for Kaelen to test him, to see if he was good enough. Reliat was confident he would make the grade.
