I waved as the group left more than a little disheartened.  One turned around for a final glance; for which I rewarded him by blowing a kiss with a wink.  His face turned red and he jumped when his companions called him.

I fell into a brief fit of giggling when we were alone again.  It was always fun to tease the young men and sometimes women adventurers from time to time.

[b]"To answer your question.  We both herald from a place once called 'the City of Starlight'."[/b]  I answered.

[b]"For whom I am greatful that they let me leave with one of their most prescious star!"[/b] Wrensthav interrupted before placing a kiss on my forehead which caused me to become flustered.  I collected myself and continued.

[b]"I am greatful that you have accepted me into your fellowship, Pretty Elf-lady, but I would very much like to prove my worth to both you and the strongman."[/b]
 

The hot drink warmed my being as I sipped from the ornate tea cup the Pretty Elf-lady summoned.  I laid my hair across my lap to keestrongrom being soiled as we sat and rested. The flavor was very much like the person that summoned it.  Strong, but not overpoweringly so, with light hints of other exotic spices which gave it a bit of bite.  To bad Wrensthav wouldnt be able to enjoy it as much without it being triple strength.  Though he did sip absentmindedly when the Elf-lady spoke.  The blonde strongman seemed a bit out of place in our newly formed party of comparitively lithe figures.  Wrens and the Pretty Elf-lady were deep in lighthearted conversation, hardly a word from a third party could be squeezed in.

I admitted my defeat with a sigh, turning my attention to the strongman.

[b]"Strong man, what so piqued your interest in this venture?"[/b]
