<div class="floatright">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/a/a2/Saffvictoria.jpg)</div>K'tanya (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=220587.msg10848407#msg10848407)<br/><br/>A petite and fresh faced redhead walked easily next to Mercusio occasionally talking to him cheerfully.  Since meeting this cleric at a monastery outside of Cormyr, K'tanya had agreed that he'd be a good man to travel with for a while.  Though the clerics had been nothing but polite about it, she'd gotten the distinct subtext that they were having trouble finding a companion for him and a  young woman traveling alone—with naught but a dagger and some simple spells for her defense—would be hard up enough for someone to watch her back that she'd accept their prodigal acolyte.<br/><br/>K'tanya quietly found the young man quite amusing.  She'd been an important wizard's daughter long enough to recognize the mannerisms of a well born man trying to deal with the burdens of self sufficiency.  She'd expected he'd try to leach off of her, and been prepared to slip away in a town if he did, but the young priest was sincerely trying—even if she could see him grumbling to himself about it.<br/><br/>So she smiled and made cheerful conversation and tried to subtly slip him help when he wasn't sure how to do his part.<br/><br/>The tiny redhead stood next to her companion, hand on a walking stick that would make a fairly poor combat staff, and looked up the road at the silver haired man who had greeted them.  Her green eyes went a little wide, and she felt acutely aware of the wind rustling her rosey tresses over her shoulders.  She was glad to let the priest do the talking.
