How about you?"</strong>she scritches the animal between the eyes, and yelps when he makes to nip at her sleeve, pulling her arm back.<strong>"Fine company you are."</strong>she gave the animal's lead a tug, starting down the road, looking back over her shoulder at Kari.<strong>"The more you think about it, the longer it'll feel. There's plenty to see! Stop staring at the road and look around it. This is a lovely country, and I think the birds are nesting..."</strong>She continues on like this a bit, pointing out the roadside delights that maybe only an elf would notice.<strong>"And here comes Thia, proving my point"</strong>she adds as the bard rejoins them, chattering like a squirrel. More talk of road extermination. It's a nice thing it was such a pretty day, Sariel can avoid this topic and still look perfectly happy.<br/><br/>Thia's call to a stranger shook her out of the brief reverie though, and she peered around the animal at Eli, sizing him up. She speaks quietly to her two companions,<strong>"It sounds like he's not too sure what he's doing."</strong>Well... no reason to not be hospitable. She lifts her left hand, the other still holding the mule's lead.<strong>"Fair be our meeting, Eli Enwood. I am Sariel, and I'd be happy to share the road with you."</strong>She leaves the other two to decide whether they want to say more on their own behalf, even as she takes lead to catch up to the stranger.<br/><br/><strong>"You'll laugh,"</strong>she warns him, in answer to his question, giving him a glance.<strong>"We found this creature wandering the roadside, and since Greenest is the nearest town, it makes sense to find his owner there."</strong>It's not a lie, after all. Nothing about being a paladin say you have to spill<em>every</em>bean you have.<strong>"And yourself? What brings a... scholar of dragons to a pinpoint on the map like Greenest?"</strong>A little conversation with a stranger seems a good way to eat up the last leg of the road.
