Aelih almost glares at the girl, gaze softening to simply be a sort of blank look, with uncaring eyes. The elf stretched, shifting around to get comfortable against the tree.

"Well I'm hardly about to go exploring an unknown cavern with how I am right now. Besides, the others have it handled, that Orc doesn't seem like he'll go down easy. For that matter, what kind of child insults someone by trying to question my courage? Lack of fear is the mark of a simpleton, or a fool. It takes no courage to not be afraid, it simply takes stupidity or recklessness."

With that said, Aelih's gaze flicks to Lui, then flicks back to Nona, a small grin on the elf's face as Aelih watches Nona's face closely.

"Besides, I'm tired, and not in the mood to dungeon right now."
