[color=forestgreen][center][h2]Annevar Tel'ethir[/h2][/center][/color] Anne hadn't even been in front of the counter for two minutes before something unexpected happened. Out of nowhere, and before the blue-haired receptionist could answer Anne's question, a man appeared in front of her, blocking her from talking to the woman, and eliciting a yelp from Anne. The man quickly started talking, advising her to stick with him if she wanted to find the Church of Gnara. Anne looked at the man, sizing him up. Unlike the countless other human faces she had seen on her way to Vaald, this particular human stroke her as quite interesting. He could certainly be counted as being handsome amongst humans, but Anne had lived all her life amongst elves, and elves were always renown for their beauty and elegance. One could say that Anne had been numbed to the beauty of other races as a result. However, what Anne found fascinating was the way the man carried himself, and the way he talked. He exuded a sense of confidence that Anne had seen in very few people. And when the man ended his sentence by inserting in a smart compliment, Anne was even more intrigued by him. [color=forestgreen][b]"It seems to me that you know your way around words as well,"[/b][/color] Anne replied with a smile on her face. She was about to introduce herself when she noticed a hooded figure that was previously conversing with the receptionist behind the man, approach them. She made to stop the blue-haired girl when Anne saw her pulling the counter's shutter down but quickly retracted her hand when the hooded figure talked to her. [color=forestgreen][i]"Oh, it's a Satyr! You don't see those often around Rhiadan..."[/i][/color] Anne thought as the figure introduced herself as one Isyph Al-Delad. [color=forestgreen][i]"And what an interesting name too..."[/i][/color] Anne mused with a smile and shook Isyph's hand back. [color=forestgreen][b]"Oh my, indeed getting lost will be quite troublesome, wouldn't it?"[/b][/color] Anne replied. [color=forestgreen][b]"My name's Anne Tel'ethir,"[/b][/color] she introduced herself with a slight bow towards the two. Isyph's sidelong glance at the man, Dodger as she called him, did not escape Anne, but she did not think much of it. [color=forestgreen][b]"So, I take it you've been in Vaald for quite some time, what with saying you know your way around the city well and all, right?"[/b][/color] she asked while eyeing the two.
