Some contemplative speaking, she figured, and Elli got her answer.  No other plan, then that was available... but there were more and more contemplations the longer they spoke on the subject.  Obviously they would not likely have the hostages (she prayed she was wrong, and that they wouldn't be so... underhanded), but the tunnel left no room for an ambush... which was<em>not</em>good at all.  Elli would have to stand in the open as it were, and that would blow things to the Abyss and back.  That, and the darkness... Elli had enough of a time seeing in the current lighting, what would happen in darkness not even the Drow could see from?<br/><br/>Once Isene left, Elli sat back, and sighed, twirling one of her pigtails, a 'nervous habit' of hers.<br/><br/>"Yes... a way for me to see in your darkness... and a way to explain why I'm there if I'm not able to hide." Elli states, matter-of-factly "If there is nowhere to hide, then I would have to be in the open, and if I'm in the open there needs to be a reason for me to be there without arousing suspicion... you could pretend I am a prisoner, and a small-folk nearby can hold my weapon, but that could be... sketchy... do you think there is a way for me to dress as one of you, perhaps?"
