Elaine was struggling to hold back her own happy tears. "I thought I was dead," she whispered back, struggling to keep her smile in check. "I always wanted to<em>be</em>the knight in shining armour. But I certainly won't say no to one riding to my rescue, in this case." Elaine leaned her head against Larissa's as the Ruxvan woman turned to address the others.<br/><br/>Pinna went bright red, her scanty wolf pelt making it quite evident the flush went straight from head to toe. "N-no," she said. "Bonebreaker Dorokor treated me... quite well. She even beat down one of her own men when he tried to lay his hands on me."<br/><br/>"Huh, whaddaya know? Reasonable orcs," Jay said, amazed. "Now I really have seen everything."<br/><br/>Kasala looked about. "Once the orcs have left, I would be keen to explore this place further. There is damage to be assessed, of course, but I am certain there are secrets to be uncovered here."
