[IC] Fortune or Fate?

The blonde elf girl had considered a hundred different things in the brief moments when the wrapped and bandaged elf's figure had loomed over her. Now that his attention was occupied she decided a few more things. For one, she had absolutely no aversion to prancing about in the nude but very few people saw fit to protect a brazen strumpet as they did a shy maiden.

Moving quickly, bringing a flush to her cheeks through practice at feigning emotion, and she shuffled sideways with arms covering herself as best she could. She considered using magic to make herself invisible again but the shuffling, the blushing, it made a more convincing feint than if she were to simply vanish.

Finally she crossed the path and disappeared into the brush once more, moving aside plants to find her bag and clothes. Silently she wished she'd brought one of her more mundane dresses along so she could better play the role she wanted to. All she had was her dancer's outfit, one that somehow made her look more revealing than if she were naked. It took her several long minutes to put on all the rings, anklets, toerings, necklaces, earrings and the armlet.

Up until now, Rook's attention had been on the goblins; both her captors and the Liberator. She hadn't gotten a good look at the fellow with Stybs. But as she made her way back to Kaiden, she got a better view of where Marius was conversing with the naked elf girl. She stopped mid-stride, fear gripping her yet again, as she recognized the bandaged man who had voiced the very inhuman, frightful command causing her to bolt toward Kaiden in the first place.

But as much as she might want to flee again, she could not simply abandon her companion. Plus... it seemed he had played some roll in her rescue. So like it or not, perhaps she would find herself allied with ... whatever he was.

She moved toward Kaiden's form, hoping the others were too preoccupied with each other to take much notice of her yet.
