She would say suddenly to Kalem.   As if she had not just moments ago dismissed him.<br/><br/>She move then to enter passing the sudden target of her anger.  An as she passed the one who invoked the murderous rage to come.   She would mouth softly to the elf.  "Mine" through clenched teeth  As her fangs have also elongated.  (Perception DC 10 to hear the soft muttering of 'mine' for Kalem.)<br/><br/>The elf maid is clearly stung,  as she had merely glanced towards both of them.   An truly had no interest beyond seeing follow travelers and looking them over.   She had caught the murderous intent that suddenly flared on the dark brooding woman.   Which she found surprisingly unique.  Considering the male was of light and goodness, yet the woman dark, tainted and everything the look she gave her a truthful reality.
