Though he had intended to work out how to address the chief, Zaer couldn't help but think about the light elf bathing. Rivulets of water running down her skin, between her breasts... he'd held off temptation while she had been unconscious, but now that she was awake and bathing, the fire elf couldn't help himself.<br/><br/>He began to quietly move towards where the stream was. In his mind, he told himself that he was just going to be close by to protect her. That he wasn't going to peep. Yeah, right. He didn't even believe himself.<br/><br/>When he reached a clump of bushes near the river, he peered out to see if he could spot her. He did, and he couldn't help but gasp at her beauty. He couldn't see her features very well,It was a  but the silhouette of her form, backdropped by the moonlit water, was a breathtaking sight.<br/><br/>It was soon spoiled by the three figures that approached her. It was some fire clan soldiers out on patrol. It was a good thing he had decided to come spy on Ayesha after all. When the soldiers demanded to know who Ayesha was, Zaer stepped out of his own hiding place, and approached them. "She is a priestess of the Light clan, and possibly their only survivor." He spoke with authority. "And she is my guest here."<br/><br/>The three soldiers immediately jumped at the sound of his voice and turned, looking as though they had seen a ghost. "Z-Z-Zaer? You've returned?!"<br/>Zaer nodded. "I have. And I have urgent need to speak with the chief. Immediately."<br/><br/>"Y-yes of course, Zaer. We'll inform the chief at once of your safe return, and of your guest." The middle one turned to the soldier on his left and gave a curt nod. The soldier ran off to carry the message. "The chief will wonder about the girl though, Zaer..."<br/><br/>"I'm aware of this. I'll explain once I meet with him." He turned his head slightly until Ayesha was in the corner of his eye. "It looks like we'll be heading down sooner than I thought. Finish up, will you?"
