Lanaey observed the two men that seemed so eager for battle. Well, not so much for battle as justice. They didn't like the idea of an innocent village being wiped out even more than she did. It was amazing how one little thing could bring so many different types of beings together in one place. Elves and men, they always seemed to be pushed together to help innocents, and neither side really knew why. Lanaey didn't even really understand why she was there. Lately she had been doing things that seemed out of character and she just couldn't figure out what was wrong with her. After this was all over she needed to go into isolation for awhile to meditate and work out what she really needed. Until she could get away she needed to keep herself in tight reign, otherwise she might give away something of herself to a member of the company that she didn't want let out.
Thagon shifted position and Lanaey instantly observed him. Thagon seemed familiar somehow. She couldn't place from where though, maybe that was why she was talking to him right now, to figure out who he was? It was definetly bothering her that she couldn't remember from where she had met him before, usually she had an excellent memory for people.
Closing her mind for a brief moment, she drank in the night air about her to help clarify her mind. After she had it cleared, she gathered only the information that she wanted to dissect to the fore of her conscious mind. There was an obvious connection in the information somewhere that they were all missing.
....A band of ruffians would attack the town en masse......Perhaps they expected a village of soft peasants....
What did it lead to? A personal vendetta perhaps?
"What was that?" Herebrand startled her. Lanaey hadn't realized that she had spoken out loud. She mentally kicked herself for letting herself get soft. The peaceful environment must have been affecting her more than she first realized. Blocking out her nature senses, she focused on the beings before her.
"They must have a leader, otherwise they would have done just what you said they would, attack en masse." Lanaey paused for a moment. "But why go against the little village of Alphirion? The leader must have some connection to it."
