To tell the truth, Arisa had never been quite sure what to make of Lilliana - the girl had always been quiet, since the day Arisa's party had found her wandering through the woods; Over time, she'd become less withdrawn, but still...She'd never related the full story to Arisa, and Arisa had never asked. She'd searched the woods a few times, hoping to find Lilliana's parents - But it'd been a futile effort.<br/><br/>Perhaps it was just as well. Privately, she'd wondered what might have happened to an elven village in the forest...If one had existed - and some of the outcomes had been too grim for Arisa to dwell upon.<br/><br/>"Four...?" Arisa echoed, her brow furrowing - Her expression momentarily quizzical, as she touched slim fingers to her chin. "I suppose..."<br/><br/>Her eyes widened, ever-so-slightly, as realization dawned...Oh,<em>that</em>girl. Would she *ever* learn?<br/><br/>Shayla was Lilliana's opposite, in almost every way - the lissome redhead had a distinct charm quite apart from Lilliana's ethereal beauty...And rather more creative ideas of how to put it to use! Given her mischievous nature, Arisa had to tell her off - several times - for flirting with guests...Not that she'd ever received any complaints. Sometimes, all you could really do was to shake your head and ignore it...After all, Arisa couldn't help but muse on how she'd been young once, too...<br/><br/>-Though never quite like Shayla.<br/><br/>"-It's okay...I'm sure she'll be coming in soon," Arisa answered - Slim shoulders lifting in a little shrug. Well, maybe Lilliana *was* a little sheltered...But her innocence was part of what made her so arresting. "As for our guest...Let him sleep in for a bit longer, all right?"<br/><br/>She couldn't resist a quiet sigh, a slight shake of her head...Really, that girl - One of these days, she was going to get herself into *serious* trouble.
