"Liara, I want you to head out a league ahead of us. Your eyes and your grace put an old codger like me to shame, and I don't trust the boys not to walk into an ambush."

He went on with further instructions, outlining safety precautions, but she had stopped listening at that point. She didn't like to be buttered or coddled. Coming from Kalar, it was more of a father encouraging his daughter, but even that still felt strange.

It had seemed like forever since she last saw her father, and even longer than that since their relationship was anything normal. She often wondered what it might be like if her father was more like the ranger before her. She was still adjusting to the dynamics of the group, especially between her and Kalar. But he had only ever met her with kindness, so she wasn't about to shove him away.

[Color=#8FBC8F]"Of course, sir."[/color] The term wasn't only a distancing mechanism, but a habit she supposed. He was still her elder and her mentor. Respect and honor were two things she hoped to reflect. Two things that were hugely missing from her fights in the pits.

[Color=#8FBC8F]"I will take the proper precautions should I run into something. Anything dire and you will hear my signal"[/color].

She returned her hood to its former position, tugging it forward over her head as she rose to her feet. Stepping away from the group, she made sure she was a fair distance before circling around. Her intention was at the very least to secure the area before leaving them. Anc act that was cut short by an unknown presence.

It wasn't long before she picked up on his scent. He wasn't .. exactly human. Whatever he was, she couldn't quite discern. There was something about him that made her extremely weary. It was an aura she hadn't felt before. But what made her more uneasy was she knew he could feel her presence as well. There was just something about it all. But she couldn't take any chances, and she had a job to do. She readied her bow and knocked an arrowed, aiming in his direction. What if she left, went about her duties and continued on? What if he harmed the Rangers she had just left behind? She couldn't take the risk. 

[Color=#8FBC8F]"You take one more step towards that caravan, and I promise you, you'll wish you hadnt. What are your intentions"[/color] her voice bellowed out beyond the rain. She stood with her arrow aimed in the strangers direction, awaiting his response.
