<strong>Aeryn Sunlight<br/>With everyone,<br/>En route to Commandant Vin's office, Point Respite</strong><br/><br/>Not a garrison messenger.  A guide to the island. Tabetha did indeed do Vin's dirty work, a type of work the Scholar understood quite well.  Her opinion of the intense woman grew quite a bit higher.  "A field scout, not a headquarters braveheart.  I fear I've wronged you in my mind, Tabetha."<br/><br/>She was smiling openly, observing Reliyian struggle not to inundate Erianthe with questions.  She and the Mountain Elf were kindred minds indeed.<br/><br/>Most of all, she was observing the surroundings.  She ahd been on edge the day before, suspsicious of the street urchin guide.  Not really paying attention to the garrison town.  She did so now.  Two elves and a Cloud Walker made the small band a focus of attention,  she ahd always stiven to avoid that.  she shrugged inwardly.  No helping it now.<br/><br/>Lazarette? Hm, roughly  the same age of the Crown Princess, no doubt there were a host of high-born girls of that name by now.<br/><br/>
