[@Turbowraith]  Is there any way Lex might have agreed to be Ceria's partner in a hunt of some sort?  If Lex's mentor was female, Ceria would be DEEPLY moved and probably come out of her own shell to help.  The question that remains is what would it take for Lex to team up with Ceria?  I.D.K the male perspective that well, but would it help if Ceria flashed her mad archery skills?  Perhaps Lex was dealing with a mob of angry (insert D&D monsters here) and Ceria came in with level 3 Horde Breaker and lent a hand?  

If either Harbinger or [@Oraculum] have any other ideas as to how y'all met Ceria, my ears are wide open and pointy! ^.^
