While she doubted that she would get along with many of the members of the expedition the man seemed like he would have only brought along those who had a good deal of worth. Of course, recognizing their usefulness did not mean that she would not respond to rudeness in kind.<br/><br/>"Though not necessary, the question still bears answering for it is an interesting topic. You see there was once an elf who desperately wished for a child and thought that copulation with a hell hound would be the easiest means of making herself pregnant," Nsia spoke without any inflection and paused just long enough for her words to sink in, "That was a joke. The truth of the matter is that my parents actually loved each other very much. My mother was an elven woman and my father was either a succubus or incubus, I never found out which it was. I suppose I never will too. They both perished in the early parts of the invasion."<br/><br/>She looked at Morgan as she spoke, not paying attention to the man who first asked. Nsia had not seen many of her kind so seeing how she reacted would be interesting if nothing else. Then Arngrim's words caught her attention. She turned to the man scowling as her tail swished the dirt behind her fast enough to form a small cloud of dust. While some of his comments were good to hear, one in particular was a sore point that she could not simply let stand after her past experiences within 'civilization'. "So you would see us as nothing but breeding stock. Is that it? As if you extra soldiers would be any more use than a mind with decades more experience. I'll have you know that I at least have made myself immune to the effects of the Blight through use of the magic that you seem to disdain so much. While I can not speak for the others who use it, mine comes from innate properties that are inherent within certain materials. If it comes to pass that you are stricken then these boons will still be available, however much you do not trust them."<br/><br/>"Of course, learning how to utilize alternate forms is something that I do desire," She brought her gaze back to Anton and Velatha. She turned to the pretty elf first, "If you wish to try your hand at teaching I would gladly listen. While unable to cast spells myself knowledge of the process could assist me in my extract preparation. Several years ago I discovered a means of flight thanks to the knowledge of an elder wizard gave me about the spell he developed to achieve the same."<br/><br/>"As for your contract I would not have asked if I were not interested in acquiring such power," She looked over the wording for a moment, "This is something I can trivially agree to. Though I would imagine that your trust must reach a fairly reasonable distance for such a thing. I am quite light and as such you could probably throw me at least across this room."
