All the same she nodded back: the elf seemed very professional and to have a steady head on her shoulders. Yet more introductions as Amelia bowed, in her odd – and very definitely not sleep-dreamt – helmet.<br/><br/><strong>“Tania,”</strong>she said.<strong>“Although, I don’t yet know if I’ll be staying with you. My assignment,”</strong>she said, thinking rather grandly of what was in truth just her contract,<strong>“Was to ride out with Mr Oxenbridge. <acronym title="Tania will join the party but doesn’t know that yet IC">If he has further need of me, I shall stay with him.</acronym>”</strong><br/><br/>The introductions out of the way, Tania was aware this wasn’t a tea party: they were loitering in an ambush site and, while the crew had dealt with the ambushers fairly well, she did not think it a good idea to linger. She decided to go with Twin to inspect the bodies: while she didn’t think she could identify the horses, she’d dug a grave or too in her time and could, if nothing else, help Colin clear the road. She kept a hand on her sword grip and her ears pricked up, green eyes scanning the horizon for any further signs of trouble.
