Her hands drifted to Sumara's waist, fingers pressing somewhat firmly, as though the wood elf were trying to ground herself in something solid. Meanwhile, Adelaide cast the elves a wry grin, apparently holding no objection to being ogled thus as she put the finishing touches on her outfit of tattered rags.<br/><br/>At Sumara's rapid analysis of the riddle, Atraea seemed caught off guard. She had evidently been about to offer a thought, rendered unnecessary by Sumara's quick deduction. Adelaide grinned broadly. "I<em>knew</em>I liked you guys," she said. "And not just because you saved me from those nasty creatures. Of course. That's what the pilgrimage is about. We come here to renew our oaths..."<br/><br/>Planting her sword on the stone before her, she knelt down, resting her hands on the hilt. "I, Adelaide Elsin, swear the Delian Oath," she intoned. "To serve law, battle chaos, and strive to keep the Delian Lore secret."<br/><br/>A voice came from within the statue. "Then Rise Dame Elsin, Knight of the Delian Order, and enter." The statue raised its sword in salute, revealing a doorway between its feet. Elsin let out a delighted laugh and ran inside. The sword sank to the floor once more. Then the statue turned its head towards Sumara.<br/><br/>"And what of you, Drow?" the statue asked. "My people warred upon yours in days of old, and yet I sense you are free of the Spider Queen's taint. There may be a place within my order for one such as you. If you wish to battle the evils of your kinfolk, the Delian Order would give you aid." It turned to Atraea, next. "And you, elf. Many of your kind served the Order. Swear, and you may partake of our Lore."<br/><br/>Atraea swallowed and looked nervously at her friend. "I... I will follow you, my friend," she said. "There may indeed be things of value within, but such oaths are often binding."
