Tirarian thanked Corinne. Elric would definitely benefit from the weight off of his feet. The question was could she explain what was happening to the Elf? The gnome decided that perhaps it was ok, they didn't know much, and She had always trusted Corinne, even though she was way older than Tirarian could understand.

"Well, I'm not certain about much, but Elric seems to have a target painted on him. I just stopped him from being carried off in a hemp bag." Suddenly Tirarian realised that Corinne might be implicated with Elric. "Corinne," Tirarian started, "If these people who are hunting Elric come after you, could you defend yourself? I know you have Shork, but it might be best if you let us off here if you are worried." Corinne was young and confident, and Tirarian doubted she would take her advice
