Out of the heat of the inn's kitchen, Tara felt a relaxation grow upon her.  She loved her aunt very much, still she was still a young woman, and the idea of this adventure had caught her fancy.  If nothing else, it would be a wonderful jaunt with an odd, but very attractive.. elf at her side."  She half chuckled at the idea, reality still somewhat at war with her perceptions.<br/><br/>She dropped into pace, matching his long stride with her own, and at his quiet compliment, a smile dawned upon her face.  "Me brave? I never thought so particularly, but I guess we shall see."  Those dark blue eyes smiled merrily, "If I was to pick something, I'd say I'm too curious for my own good!  It's gotten me into trouble before!"  Not thinking he'd have any concerns about contact, Tara laid a warm hand lightly on his arm for just a moment as they walked, "Still its good that you'll be there to keep me from getting into worse trouble!"<br/><br/>She hummed a song softly as they walked, one clearly not of any celtic origin, more something of modern american rock.
