She occasionally indulges her woods-knowledge when Pip finds some peculiar chrysalis or twig-gall to show everyone, but on those occasions when Largya or Alni may be drawn into such conversations it will become apparent fairly quickly that she's not the real expert in such matters.<br/><br/>While she becomes human to eat, Aaleyah seems to spend a great deal of  her time on the trail in the strange gryphonish elemental form. The reasoning is apparent when she does pop out of it; she's nearly as scrawny as Largya, and seems a bit dwarfed beneath the spear, shield, crossbow and backpack she carries. Nevertheless, she isn't one to complain.<br/><br/>Of course, Aaleyah pops out of her 'travelling' form as soon as the palisade is visible. Wouldn't do to appear too monstrous around wary strangers in the wilderness.<br/><br/>"I'm doing just fine, Miss Largya," she answers, and then, hearing Oleg's remark about Restov. "It's nicely warmer down here than the hills around Stoneclimb." ...Which is nearly as far north of Restov as one can get without walking on pack-ice.<br/><br/>Aaleyah sets her pack and weapons aside at the earliest opportunity and curtseys politely to Svetlana and Oleg, hoping they aren't going to make any remarks about how physically pathetic the group looks, aside from Dorn, who hopefully looks aggressive enough for the rest of them. "I'm afraid the information we received was somewhat sketchy," she murmurs softly, while emphatically not looking at Largya. "Just what manner of aid do you find yourselves most needing? We've heard there are bandits about, and worse things..."<br/><br/>The emerald-haired young woman waits to be offered some of the stew before accepting it with a polite word of thanks. She glances frequently to Largya and Luckums, as if expecting to take any further cues from them.
