<strong>Reliyian Isilivanthar – You don’t get away that easily</strong><br/><br/>Nodding as Eshalu speaks, she either didn’t quite understand or ignored the implications of the huntress quickly withdraw word. “Yes you do need a bath and myself I would much enjoy the cool waters of the mountain springs but for now a quiet place will have to suffice. Reliyian lingered a moment to help Eshalu clean at least a bit more, icing over another section of cloth if need be. When Eshalu raised Reliyian’s instinct was to immediately jump to her aid which caused her to hop a step. It dawned on her though that the Eshalu’s people might find such a thing offensive, or at least perhaps a mark on Eshalu’s honor without letting her at least attempt to move on her own.<br/><br/>“Of course, I will fetch it immediately and try to find any source of clean water I can.” Reliyian lingered, not wanting to leave Eshalu on her own but had little choice. Besides, she would at least try to prove to her warrior cousin she was more than some kind of dainty scholar who knew more of books than the world. Reliyian first set out to gather Eshalu’s spear; upon picking it up Reliyian handled it as if it were a sacred object; studying it and feeling its weight and form in her hands, running a finger along the sharp tip, looking at the material and construction. She carried it awkwardly when she moved but very carefully. Next was to find a place for them to rest but at first this was only met with frustration. She was both embarrassed and ashamed to have failed Eshalu so, but Reliyian’s<em>Longing to See the World</em>drove her forward, risking extra danger to circle back again. Following Eshalu’s advice, Reliyian’s second pass through found success as she discovered the small stream. She ran back to Eshalu, almost giddy, “I found it!” She nodded and jumped with both feet, “OH! And this.” Reliyian moved forward to hand the spear back over to its rightful and deadly owner. Her bright, green eyes peered up at Eshalu with an equally sunny smile. Deep down Reliyian knew her discovery was but a minor accomplishment but she was still so very proud of it.<br/><br/>Once Eshalu felt good enough to walk, Reliyian pressed on slowly and carefully; navigating the rough terrain with sure-footedness. She was blessed of her body, as Eshalu had noted, but she by no means soft through laziness. She trained just as hard as any of the soldiers as was expected of a daughter of a noble house and never once shirked that duty, even when some of the Tower would have preferred her to spend more time in the study. Buoyed by the finding the river, the oppressiveness of the forest didn’t break her spirit. She would pause and cast her gaze back to her friends to make sure they were keeping up. Offering a shoulder for Eshalu if her leg caused her any difficulty, in fact it was likely Reliyian did so much more than necessary.<br/><br/>Coming across the enclave Reliyian stopped, “Look at this!” The pitch of her voice rising sharply at the end from a burst of excitement, “What do you think of here?” Reliyian didn’t hesitate to lean down and poke her head into the cave. Her eyes peered around this place, once a place of respite she thought, where one could admire the river among the cool shade. The encroachment of time and the gnarled roots that broke through the walls like ancient claws tearing them apart faded in Reliyian’s mind as she imagined what this place would have looked like. A bench where many ages ago two lovers might once have sat and shared sweet words and lips, the thought caused Reliyian to blush and giggle in the ever so slightest that she cleared her throat and looked about embarrassed to be caught.<br/>Once Eshalu had settled in, Reliyian immediately set about trying to disguise the place. Following the instructions of Eshalu to the tee without complaint as Reliyian once again wanted to prove her worth. She wasn’t even sure why she felt the need to, but seeing Eshalu’s skill in battle, perfect muscles that looked as if chiseled from the mountain rock by the greatest elven artists left Reliyian feeling inadequate. Not jealous, but awestruck and inspired. She tried not to let her feelings of inadequacy show.<br/><br/>As the day wore on, Reliyian was starting to feel tired. Her entanglement with the vines did not leave her unscathed. The tears in the hem of her skirt and along one side making her dress look somewhat haggard. And reaching around to touch the back of her head she still felt the dull pain of her fall to the hard ground. Eshalu could use a few aids in her recovery and the bounty of the forest, dangerous as it was, was sure to provide at least some extra relief. “Eshalu. I am going to head out and find a few things that could help us. There is still daylight, I will be back well before sundown.”<br/><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Fate Stuff</div><div class="spoiler_body">Actually TUP if you read the OOC I wanted to take the +2 instead with my fate point bringing up the total to +4 for the notice check.

Her eyes beautiful, pearlescent orbs of pale sage are set against her light skin that when the light strikes her has a feint golden glow dotted by freckles from her face to her shoulders.  She smiles, you think, the expression is too faint to be sure. Even her mouth seems to shimmer with a soft glossy pink. Her ears are long, ending in perfect points. Reliyian wears a blue strapless dress held up by her impressive figure and by crisscrossed silver thread across an open back, wide enough to reveal most of it in a V-shape to the slight curve at the base of her spine. Long detached sleeves ended in golden lace that was also embroidered throughout the dress. Her skirt ending just above her ankles below which you see her golden lace low heeled sandals, it has a slight up the left side exposing much of her supple leg to where you can just make out the curve of her hip.<br/><br/><table class="bbc_table"><tbody><tr><td><strong><span class="bbc_u">Stats</span></strong></td><td></td><td><strong><span class="bbc_u">Consequences</span></strong></td></tr><tr><td>Refresh: 2</td><td></td><td>Mild: - </td></tr><tr><td>Fate Points: 0</td><td></td><td>Moderate: - </td></tr><tr><td>Physical Stress (Physique) </td><td>[X] [2] </td><td>Severe: - </td></tr><tr><td>Mental Stress (Will) </td><td>[1] [2] [3] </td><td></td></tr></tbody></table> </div></div>
