Kitherit broke into a wider smile as Malith spoke, his words heavily accented, but clearly he knew more common then she had realized.  Hearing those words she suddenly felt a wave of gratitude, as the last vestiges of her confusion were swept away in understanding.  She knew there was still a chance she was in danger, but the knowledge that these two at least intended to help her brought tears to her eyes.  Her expression was one of great relief and gratitude, and she bowed her head humbly towards Malith.  "Thank you, Malith."<br/><br/>As they continued walking towards the village, she kept half an eye on the ground ahead of her to make sure she didn't inadvertently step on something that would hurt her feet more then they already did.  But she was beginning to notice signs of inhabitance around them, even if she hadn't yet seen any signs of buildings.  They now seemed to be following a well marked trail through the forest, and here and there she noticed some of the vegetation had been artfully arranged in a way that wasn't completely natural, yet made you question whether it had grown that way on it's own or not.
