The village girl though noticed the feather drop. She picked it up and felt how soft and real it felt as she paced with the group. Alice cocked her head and stared at the wings in puzzlement, [i]" How does she have real wings? Are high elves suppose to have wings? Is that why Mrs. Arielle always wears those fake ones? But the lord doesn't have any either. Alice, stop staring. It's impolite to stare and would be even ruder to ask about them. But how come she has wings?"[/i] She snapped out of her musings when Erika asked about animals in the woods. 

The blonde replied as she sat came up beside her, "Orcs have been a bother, but they've been infrequent this year, doesn't mean we couldn't still run into them. Other than them, the main ones are wolves and wargs. Mostly, they're in packs, making them easier to avoid but overwhelming if you're caught off-guard. Loners though are sneakier, so they may land a bite before you even know it's there. But after the initial surprise, they're manageable. Other than that, there is nothing dangerous in the woods. There are rumors of mysterious beasts living in the mountain, but the Bloodmoon sisters, the ones who own the inn, are the only ones who go up there and they don't say anything about such things." Then the human offered the feather back to its owner. "Here. You dropped this."
