The halfling woman looked a bit ashamed at the time and hesitated, speaking abit seriously in return. "I really want to study this book and improve my powers. I can be a lot more help to you then, when I understand this better. I don't think I would be a good person leaving you heading out on your own though, without anyone to help you out there on the way. So I'm willing to aid you in this." She stepped forward and smirked a bit, then nodding her head to Marric with a resolved look on her face. "Come hell or high water, I'm not letting you get in trouble alone." She moved in to hug Marric's leg, causing the elf to let out a chuckle. "Should I be jealous?" Her teasing tone seemed to make the halfling miss blink. "So you are a woman or... are you two... I..." The elf burst into laughter at this, then smiling over at Marric amusedly, the halfling lass seeming to come up with new ideas.<br/><br/>"Wait, you can go between man and woman, so I don't think it'd be like that.... I mean, you could be either gender anyway so... I ah..." She seemed a bit overwhelmed by this but the elf was laughing so hard it might have hurt!
