<strong>Kayla</strong><br/><br/>Kayla gives Sinathel a sympathetic look as she steps back away from the noble. She moves closer to Bender, standing closer to him than a stranger would as he introduces his elf friend. "Very nice to meet you." Kayla says warmly, offering Theswyn a hand. She shakes her head at the noble's display and says lowly to Bender. "Why does he do this? We have enough enemies we can't afford to antagonize the leaf-eaters." She said, using a local slang term for the elves. "I mean,<em>most</em>of us can't afford it." She eyed the lord bitterly.<br/><br/>However, she didn't say anything out loud. She knew the man could make things difficult for her family and wouldn't risk them for her pride.
