Her new companion shook her head slowly, denying the words even as Mira spoke. When she spoke, the druid's word held the same quiet quality as before, but undercut with a newfound confidence. Inexperienced though she might have been, the genasi still thought that she had something to offer to such an expedition. It was certainly her responsibility to try. Such was the purpose of those of her faith.<br/><br/>"I thank you for concern, but if you intend to undertake this quest, I must aid you. I am on a quest of my own, sent by the goddess Eldath. She spoke to me in a dream, and encouraged that I go from my village and into the wild, to seek those who needed aid. You seem to need such aid. I sense a flowing darkness within you, pain that needs to be soothed. I will be there to aid you, though I am not a great fighter."<br/><br/>At this last, Lorelei laid her hand upon Mira's hand, even as the other reached to her own neck, holding out a small amulet carved of lapis lazul, the symbol of a twinned waterfall. She held the symbol out in the low light of the tavern, causing it to glimmer for a moment, before tucking it away between her firm breasts, guarded by the heavy leather of her hide armor.<br/><br/>The clothing she wore had come from the sea, and every element spoke of that. Her hide robes were soft and supple, crafted from sharkskin, and tanned a deep indigo color. She wore scattered pieces of driftwood and leather as adornments, and the staff she carried was made from such drift wood, decorated with shark teeth and small shells. Even her hair was marked by the elements of the sea, with a black seashell comb tucked behind her long flowing dark hair. Around her shoulders was worn a roughspun cloak that seemed to have been made by hand.<br/><br/>Without further word, Lorelei rose from her seat, placing gold on the table behind her as payment, and then gesturing towards the door.<br/><br/>"Shall we begin this adventure tonight, or would you prefer we rest the night first? I am not certain what perils could befall this mysterious land we go to, but I am ready now if you wish to make the attempt."<br/><br/>
