Alaira had been quietly singing to herself as Athalus approached, seemingly heedless of him. Well, that told him she wasn't sleeping, at least. Still, she wouldn't notice him approach, right? It was a song he'd heard her hum before, though not often. She didn't like singing it around Lyn, thanks to one of the lines. 

[color=fff200][i]"When the wind is slow,
And the fire's hot,
The vulture waits,
to see what rots.

Oh so pretty,
All the scenery
this is nature's sacrifice.

When the Air blows through,
With a brisk attack,
The reptile tail,
ripped from its back.

When the sun sets,
we will not forget
the red sun ov-er paradise..."[/i][/color]

Alaira's hearing was excellent, and she had heard Athalus when he got close enough... in fact, his quietness had worked against him, since she knew exactly who it was. Though even she wouldn't have been able to hear him if there was more background noise to drown him out, since she didn't sing very loudly. A pity, she had a beautiful voice when it wasn't twisted into an angered snarl. When he wrapped his fingers around the haft, he had unfortunately chosen the battery housing... It was still quite close, so Alaira willed it to give him a light jolt.
