Kayla watched the struggles of the half conscious girl with some concern, and took in her words with a great deal more concern. The council? Why were the Light elves sending a representative to the council without announcement or warning? Either this was a story cooked up to try and gain safe passage in the event of discovery, or there was an urgency at work here which forbade formality. Moving closer, Kayla rested a hand on the forehead of the troubled elf. The skin was soft and very warm, though not feverish. She stroked gently over her forehead and cheeks as she spoke in a calming voice. "Listen to me. Your journey has been successful. You have been badly wounded, but I am a representative of the council. I can present whatever message it is you are trying to deliver". She met the girl's questioning gaze easily, showing her confidence and hoping to gain trust as the struggles calmed and Simeon was able to let go. "That's it, take it slowly. You will be heard, you need not injure yourself..".<br/><br/>Kayla looked over at the healer, her fingers still stroking delicately over the girl's face. "Nice job my friend, would you have her tied up for her own good if I weren't here? Our Light Tribe friend has probably forgotten more about healing than you will ever know!" She softened the barbs with a grin before looking back down at their patient. "Now then... I am Kayla, adviser to the Storm Council. And our somewhat rough friend here is Simeon. He claims to be a great Healer, but frankly... he loses more than he saves..." She glanced back up, tossing Simeon a wink. The other elf scowled and straightened with a snort of derision. They both knew that his fine skill as a field medic had saved Kayla's life on several occasions. "Well it seems you have things well in hand here.." He glanced down significantly at the fingers stroking across the elf girl's skin. "I'll leave you to it. Maybe get some sleep myself. And I'm a very heavy sleeper... just so you know..." He ducked as he left to avoid a shoe hurled across the room.<br/><br/>Kayla turned back to the other elf with a sigh and a roll of her eyes. She noted the wider eyes of the girl and was quick to put her mind at ease with a smile. "We tease each other. But we are old friends. Please do not take anything we say to each other seriously." Her small smile faded slowly, having succeeded at calming the Light elf and reducing the tension on her waking. She gazed into the unblinking eyes looking back up at her. "Please... will you tell me who you are? Why you are here? We cleaned a lot of wounds, and I don't think all of them were inflicted by that mob I found you with. Your body isn't underfed or generally mistreated, you are someone of importance. What message do you carry to my people? What is so important you risked your life to be here?".
