Taurion returned and had an ale at the bar, smiling merrily. Youlielle would be returning with them. This was good news, indeed. However, a certain sombre feeling fell over him. He was beginning to feel a definite protective nature regarding Youlielle. What if someone tried to hurt her? Well, Taurion would protect her. It was also probably somewhat his doing that she was going to return. If he had voted for her remaining here, she would probably be safer. But, then again, he did not know what her life was like here. There seemed to be a definite fear of the area that he could sense in Youlielle. Maybe Taurion had hoped for what was best for Youlielle after all...
Taurion looked over and saw Youlielle with the others. He smiled to himself and ordered another drink. After he had finished his ale, he got up and silently snuck back to his room. He began to fletch more arrows, hoping that the trip home (with Youlielle) would be a safe one, for both his sanity and her life.
