Approaching in a careful, crouch as if uncertain of the people she was approaching, the wild elf, for she could be no other with the streaks of brown and green war paint on her bronze skin, seemed almost frail. But a careful study would reveal that her slender limbs were deceptively strong. Wild auburn red hair hung around her shoulders to the middle of her back. Eyes of green and gold looked upon the people gathered and the half orc at the wall with suspicion and maybe a hint of contempt. With a bust that would be considered large by elven standards and her slim body, she would be well regarded if she took the time to clean the grime and body paint from her skin and raked the leaves and twigs from her hair. With a longbow bow slung over her shoulder and the two wickedly curved knives resting at her hip, she still presented an alluring, if decidedly savage visage. <br/><br/><br/>Giving a wave to signal her friend, Falcon approached the gathered group. Her eyes brightened as she looked upon Tearsong and her pale pink lips curved into a welcoming smile. <br/><br/>"Well met friend. I finished early." she began, her demeanour turning sober for moment, as if well used to momentary disappointment,  "There was no trace of her."<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>The human girl with brighter red hair than the lustrous auburn locks she knew lurked beneath the twigs and leaves in the elfgirls hair gave a startled squeek.  Then her rose-pink lips stretched into a grin of her own and she hurried up to the wild elf and touched her cheek happily while peering into her eyes.  At the news, Tearsong kissed her on the cheek and whispered, "I'm sorry.  I know you'll find her soon.  And when you do, we'll be strong and ready."<br/><br/>She stepped back, taking her friend's hand and holding it.  "There are troublesome foes in ruins near this town and I've agreed to help.  I pray you'll come with us."
