"I suppose you're right, Gharn. I probably could have escaped on my own. But, and this is just my take, I don't think I'd have nearly as much fun, now would I? Besides, I needed [i]some[/i] excuse to get you to join me! Now, then... If I'm not mistaken, the girl with the stone took off down this way..." She started off with a light step, her elven heritage lending her feet the swiftness that was the hallmark of her grandfather's race.

She was impressed by the lion-man's speed. She wasn't an athlete, exactly, but she was by no means out of shape, and as a part-elf, she was usually able to outpace most anyone without breaking a sweat or running out of breath. This was shaping up to be a well-balanced partnership. So long as Gharn was willing to follow her lead, Mira would be perfectly satisfied with having such an imposing figure to back her up, and his naïveté made him all the more appealing, as it would save some effort on manipulation. Tough and willing, that was exactly the type of backup that would serve her well.

As she considered her new situation, Mira nearly tripped on the trailing hem of her gown, as she stopped suddenly at the sight of a small group ahead of her, which included, in part, the nondescript girl who she'd seen stealing the blue stone. slowing her pace, and gesturing for Gharn to do the same, she strode purposefully over to the three who had congregated together, smiling openly at the otter-man and the thief, but largely ignoring the... whatever he was.

With one hand held lightly against her chest in a feigned motion of being out of breath, she said conspiratorially "My! I didn't expect to run into you all! That was quite something, that nonsense in the bar, wasn't it! I can't imagine how the barkeep must be feeling after all that. I imagine he's used to such things in this town, being so near to the ports and all." She looked pointedly at Yeva. "And you, miss! You got out of that encounter better than any of the rest of us, didn't you!"
