Ildra watched the two converse, again, only understanding partially what was being said in common. She really was going to have to work on that, in case something like this happened again. However, Malith was patient and Kitherit was grateful, so that was all they could ask for.<br/><br/>"That was my thought too," she replied to Malith. "I would prefer you to come too, as well. Until we speak with the Elders, I want to take no chances. For the moment, she is still an outsider." He was a Ranger, and as such, his word would be undisputed. "You can wait outside."<br/><br/>Malith nodded once, after which Ildra took Kitherit's hand and headed for the door. "Come. Get clean." She placed some coins on the table to pay for all fo three of their meals, then headed for the door. Luckily, her cottage was only a few hundred feet from the eatery, and while it was small, it still carried the charm most of the other Elven homes did. Carved of stone and wood, it was a simple place, wreathed on the outside by a multitude of colorful flowers, herbs, and hanging baskets.
