Tialyn tensed, despite herself - She'd only been here a day, but part of her wondered if she'd *ever* get used to this place. A darker part wondered if she'd ever want to leave, if she did...To Ebony and Ru - Liandra, it must have seemed entirely natural...But would she still be<em>herself</em>if she began to understand?<br/><br/>She gave the orc a short, sharp look - But Ebony was there, thankfully, to get them past.

It couldn't.<br/><br/>Her hand rose, to cup Liandra's cheek - Oh-so-gently, her brow furrowing.<br/><br/>"Liandra...?"
