Ellorei actually had to pause it was the first time she saw someone outside of her tribe talk to the elements. To be honest it made her accept Flin at that moment. She allowed a small laugh to leave her lips at Flin's answer to her question. It made sense that there were always two sides of a story, still, she didn't think she'd be completely okay with the military until she spent more time with its soldiers and she would be lying if Noru and Daelin didn't make her nervous. When a question was directed to her she decided that honesty need be repaid with honesty.
"Surviving, I don't think would call it that. Living in the wilds is a great honor, and honestly, I don't know anything different. My tribe, the Cha'mir, are nomadic and our elders in the tribe are all druids too." She paused listening to stone again for any changes before she continued, "You have to keep in mind that I completed my ritual not six months ago, so I am still learning but I suppose in a way I was born to be a druid. As for the creatures, Gaia gives each druid their strengths and weaknesses like anything else. Animals, while they won't attack me unless provoked, are not my strength. My gift lies with the elements." Ellorei began to hold the fire in her hands the way a mother would hold a child before she let the flame travel down her arms across her shoulder and to her other hand before putting her hands in a prayer position, making the single flame split into two.  
"As far as I know, I am the only druid that not only controls the elements but can hear them as well. Fire, for example, sounds like a grandmother and stone sounds a bit like an ornery old man." At that moment a rock, the size of an acorn, flew from seemingly nowhere hitting Ellorei on the head causing her to laugh despite herself, "My case in point. Did that answer your question? Rem has more wisdom than I do, being more practiced."

Ellorei continued to absentmindedly play with the flames as they continued their path down before she got an idea, "Flin! Do you trust me?"
