Aubri:   Auri does not understand life in the wild, so I will teach her.<br/><br/>I don't know if I'm impressed with Aubri or just embarrassed of myself.  He's....  Too manly.  Muscles too big, shoulders too broad.  HE's like a caricature.  (i wonder if he knowes that word.)   (I wonder if he's just as exaggerated beneath those trousers...)<br/><br/>Still, seeing him in the woods, moving in time to the Greensong almost as well as a wood elf, it makes the comedy fall away. Suddenly...<br/><br/>Oh, wow...  He's...  Not handsome, but still hot...<br/><br/>Really hot.<br/><br/><br/>Lilith:   Lilith broke up a fight I was involved in.  I was probably going to loose, but she doesn't have to know that...<br/><br/>"Okay, I don't usually draw steel for my pride, but I gave that smug fop three chances to back down.  I didn't even demand an apology 'til I drew steel, just insisted that he would stop saying such things about my school...  Damn it, the fop was thirty years old.  If anyone gets wind that I was loosing to a<em>toddler!</em><br/><br/><br/>Thiale:  "Auri is keeping an important secret from me."<br/><br/>"Thialie wants to know more about bladesinging.  She's an elf, it's okay for me to teach her, but...<br/><br/>"Thialie seems to think I'm being secretive when I explain that Bladesong is as much an art as a martial art, more a spiritual discipline than a science.  I hope she doesn't think i'm trying to hide things from her."
