Ren couldn't hide the smile on her face as the other mage bowed to her. She was surprised to meet someone this far from home that was familiar with her peoples customs. This bow was met with a slight bow of her own before she inwardly cringed from being called madam, that just made her sound so old. [color=ed1c24]"Please, please no need for Madam. You can just call me, Ren."[/color]

She was glad that he was so confident in his abilities, but he spoke like someone who had little experience with actual combat. Ren could tell by how he had been putting on a show for the rest of the people and even how he tried some risky moves that could've left him in serious injury. 

Ren felt the wind being controlled by the other mage brush against her and she inwardly sighed. She had not come on this expedition looking for companionship and she didn't feel like this would be a good time to start on the eve of a battle that could be her last one. She smiled at the other mage before lifting herself up on a cushion of air underneath her feet and floated a few inches off the ground. [color=ed1c24]"It would appear to be getting late and I should be getting back my fire before someone makes off with my pack. I hope to fight beside you tomorrow and see what your truly capable of with your magic."[/color] The female mage drifted away towards the direction of her campfire and the comfort of her book. Maybe she had spend to much time traveling alone and had not had much human interaction in the recent years.
