Rhavaniel didnt flinch- she had heard the horse, but dismissed it. As usual, her instincts where right. After a couple of loose calculation she realised that the woman posed no threat. She slipped into her own saddle, regarding her soundlessly, her hands resting- out of habit- on the twin hilts of her sword.
in strong contrst to the silky black mane that feel down her back.Her skin shone ivory white in the dense forset light, in strong contrast to the silky black mane that flowed down her back.
And those emerald eyes flickered from face to face.

[font=Arial, sans-serif]The young elf maiden gave an amused smile, placing her hands on the folds of her hood, she gave a gentle tug and it fell backwards. It revealed a slightly tan complexion, standing out against her dark, dark emerald eyes and she had long, silver hair that fell down to her mid-back, with a single streak of blue on the left side of her head; but she was an elf none the less. In the life of a human, she would be considered eighteen, despite the fact she looked much older.
"You are right to ask me so," she laughed and then put her flute in a hidden pocket of her cloak. "Or it would lead me to question your intellect," she gave a low, gentle bow and then straightened to look at them. "My name is Calath Ailnariel, but you may call me Cala if you wish." [/font]

"And what is your business here?" spoke up Meleth. "Forgive me, but my trust is hard-won and you have not yet acquired it."

Meleth's eyes softened for just a minute - after all, she had no home now either - but she quickly buried her emotions and nodded. "All right."

(Yes, I get to name her! Wow, I'm a bit too happy....)

Kith turned slightly as he saw a horse and rider emerge from the trees. He stood, watching the conversation as he soothed the restless mare. "Her name is Rinivel" one of the elven gaurds said to him. "Rinivel..." Kith whispered. What a beautiful name. Well suited for such a beautiful lady like yourself." He watched the newcomer elf, wondering who it was she was tracking.

"Three elf maidens, and a ranger from the north...i feel like a King in your presence."

"Is that an insult?" Kith asked. "For as I remeber, you have grown up elsewhere, but you are still from the North, just as I am." Kith smiled good naturedly.

"Ahhh....so we have a comedian! I wil be looking forward to more of your jokes." Dernhelm replied with the same comical grin he always had.

"A comedian I may be, but you still have not answered my question. But don't bother, I can see you ment no harm, your highness. " Kith bowed deeply, flourishing his arms extravegantly.

"Oh, was that a retorical question? I thoughtwhen the elves wanted answers they spoke in riddles. But I am sorry my lady, and i will repeat the question if yousay it again."

"Now I am no longer a ranger from the north, but a lady? "

Meleth would normally have grinned at this comical back-and-forth but she did not smile, merely listened. "We should get ready if we are to leave." she said calmly, looking at the group. "You may accompany us if you so wish," she told Calad, eyes still grave and unemotional.

"Ah, but i must have confused one so easily confused, see, i am the ranger of the north, and you are an elf maiden."

"Ahhh.." Kith sighed. "I think t is not that you confused me, but that you confused yourself."

"That may be, but we still have the issue of getting a move on."
