It seemed despite the woman's appearance, she wasn't a complete savage after all. At the realization, the boy's cheeks would color slightly from embarrassment of making such a crass assumption. It seemed that after all these years, he still had a bit of his tribes xenophobic nature still in him. Though he certainly didn't agree that wickedness was a mere abstract concept, with demons and devils being a very real, physical manifestation of evil, he chose not to mention that to her, figuring he had already been rude enough as it was. Turning to face Ilya, he would bow deeply, making an attempt to fix the already terrible start he had with his soon-to-be travelling companion. "I'm sorry, madam, I didn't mean to offend you. I'm still somewhat new to the world outside my forest and it would seem that I still have much to learn." After he spoke the Elf would stand back up, offering the Half-Orc a genuine smile before turning his attention back to the bearded man.<br/><br/>It seemed that none of the folks there had the taint of evil on them, though Evri used his Divine Sense, just to be sure. After all, it's not as if every wicked creature or cultist would just announce their intent! However, before he could say anything else to the probably Wizard, he noticed the tall red headed man staring at him curiously. Turning to face the fair featured warrior, he would be taken off guard as Ye'me reached forward, brushing his hair behind his ear, the Elf feeling rather flustered as a result. Bringing his hand up to the side of his face as if to try and determine why he had done that, Evri would look at him for a moment, clearly confused."Um, thank you?" he said, unsure of how else to respond.<br/><br/>Shortly afterward, the already strange group would have another member, a small Human child... no, a Halfling! Evri would mentally congratulate himself for being able to make the distinction. He seemed to be just as surprised at the sight of Ilya, though for different reasons. He found it a bit odd that the Halfling would be surprised that there was such a thing as female Orcs, but to be fair, he thought they were all evil. "It's a pleasure to meet you, sir. I'd be more than happy for you to come along!" the Elf exclaimed, looking down at the boy and resisting the urge to give him a pat on the head.<br/><br/>When the other Elf had asked him if he was ready, Evri shook his head,  motioning his hands over his body,  indicating that he was wearing only a shirt. "Er, not quite yet, I'm afraid. Allow me just a moment while I go gather my stuff." With the pleasantries over, Evri would head back to his room, gathering his equipment and donning his armor. Once everything was in order, he would rush back outside, just in time to see the Halfling getting booted out the door. Rushing outside to see if he was alright, Evri had to stifle a giggle as the flustered boy cursed at the rest of the party, clearly upset over the forced exit.<br/><br/>Finally on the road again, Evri would take a moment to enjoy himself, breathing in the fresh air. The inn had been a pleasant enough place, but the boy felt far more at home out in the wilderness, or outside in general, at least. He followed behind Alrun, deciding it would be best for him to stay at the front, next to Arrian, in case of any attacks along the road. "As I said before I'm a Paladin of Tyr , God of Justice. Before that though, there honestly isn't much to tell. I grew up in the forest amongst other Elves, secluded from the rest of the world. I didn't really fit in there though so I just... left." He said the last part with a hint of remorse, the Paladin pausing for a moment. "It seems a bit silly in retrospect, but I had grown up reading a bunch of stories about Paladins who would go on world saving adventures and I guess I wanted to be like that too. The fact that I actually managed to join the order is quite miraculous." Evri chuckled to himself, shaking his head as if he still couldn't quite believe he had become a Paladin himself. Though, he wouldn't tell him that he hadn't made it there quite yet.<br/><br/>After Arrian asked his own question, Evri would scratch his chin for a moment, looking around at the other's in the group as if pondering their odds. "Oh, I don't know... I'd say this is a rather capable looking bunch. We seem to have the good fortune of being rather numerous as well. I suppose as long as we stay vigilant and keep our resolve, there's not much we<em>couldn't </em>handle." he said rather optimistically. Of course there was always the chance one of them would stab the rest of them in the back, but that wasn't a concern he really wanted voice.<br/><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Init:  24  (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=120478)<br/>My first nat 20 on this site :D</div></div>
