Avea was about to take the healing tonic when Ivy stepped in to heal him instead, smiling at the quick care and attention she rendered "Thank you, Ivy."<br/><br/>The tall, mysterious arcanist bowed low at the woman's introduction, replying in perfect and unaccented elvish, clearly a native speaker of the language "I am called Streban by those who care to know me, and I am an agent of the Court of Ravens. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Lady Ivanna. As for Hata and Vili, I can hardly call myself master of either of these two. They accompany only as long as my own mistress sees fit to they see fit to have them in my service."<br/><br/>The two ravens seemed to be examining Ivy closely, and the red one spoke again "I knew your kin long, long ago. How far you've risen from your ancestors' beginnings."
