"Pleasure to make your acquaintance, Taldo." She said as she accepted his hand and stood up to her feet with his aid. "I'm Leah. Leah Rivers." She spoke her name freely for most people only knew her as 'water phoenix','water bird', and other such names. The only people who knew of her true name were the dreaded mages. 

"I wouldn't mind the walk but I'm afraid I don't quite live in this area. I've traveled here for business reasons." Leah informed him giving a sheepish smile. Though her 'business' would have to wait, which was never a pleasant thing considering she couldn't afford to stay at an inn and was much too paranoid to sleep out in the open as a bird. The chance of being seen by an enemy was much too high for that risk. "Thank you for your kindness, though I think I can manage myself from here. I wouldn't want to be a burden on you anyways." she told him.
