Did she sound...disappointed? Well, of course she did. She was probably being rude for declining, thinking about it. Well...she [i]did[/i] have work first thing tomorrow. At least, Nusgrout would need help with the forge. She wasn't particularly good at making weapons and armor, but she did help around with small things. Plus, apparently her cooking lunch was the best part of his day and she was good for attracting business...whatever that meant, she had never figured out. Tania had turned her attention from the room towards Vili, and had started glaring at the demon. The pixie could surmise what was going through Vili's head, and she wanted to give that batty slut a good talking too.

As a servant appeared with the tea, Lena found the small ability to finally sit on a couch and try and relax a little. The tea at least, was good and calmed her nerves somewhat. A few minutes in silence ticked by with Tania silently giving the demon a cold shoulder and a small glare. Only the occasional sip of tea from Lena's cup as she sat on the elfs hand was vili's only reprieve from it.

[color=lightsalmon]"... if you don't mind my curiosity, earlier you had a question?"[/color]

Vili's voice startled the Elf slightly, causing her to fumble with the cup.

Right. She had a question. She almost forgot.

[color=fff79a]"R-right,"[/color] The elf took a deep breath, trying to think of the words to use that wouldn't sound too...confrontational. Really, there wasn't anyway she can put this delicately, was there? She had been trying to come up with something but she couldn't. [color=fff79a]"I-I apologize if this comes off as rude and...uncivil of me, but...are you just that complacent or are you just a coward?"[/color] She tried to stop herself from saying that last bit, but it just came out so suddenly, and the elf did feel a tad bit of...was it anger? She wasn't sure, but it wasn't a pleasant feeling. Seeing that she had [i]probably[/i] just offended her host, she immediately turned red in mild embarrassment and gave Vili a shocked looked as if she couldn't believe what had just come out of her own mouth, but try as she might she couldn't stop speaking. This was too much of an important matter to the elf, and she couldn't bring herself to stop. Tania seemed to be stifling a small laugh.

[color=fff79a]"A-Ah I mean, I'm sorry! I just...w-well when the spirits were in trouble-you...just sort of stood there and it made me sad and I couldn't believe that someone as nice as you would do that...and uhm..."[/color] She was doing a terrible job of explaining this, wasn't she? She furrowed her brow, trying to come up with a better way to delicately put this, but again she had nothing.

[color=a187be]"Basically, Lena's saying you're a complacent apathetic coward who's fine with watching spirits get trampled over, ya batty slut."[/color] The fairy took a sip of tea, but Lena could say nothing in regards to that...those were mostly her own thoughts and it'd be discourteous to pretend that they weren't.

[color=fff79a]"I...I want to know why you didn't help? I...I uhm, am not trying to tell you that you have to! But...you said he's not worth it...I understand if you don't want to stand out and cause trouble...heh, being bullied most of my life I understand....really. But...If no one does, then nothing will change. Help, I mean. Stand up to people like that...noble fellow."[/color]

...ah dear god she just completely butchered that and Vili probably hated her now.
