[indent][indent]Tara could feel the ground beneath her turning into thin ice, any movement resulting in shattered ground, only for her to be drowned in defeat with her unsuccessful attempt at gaining their trust. On the contrary, she did succeed in hiding her frustration towards the nobles, though their propositions were valid. Tara knows all too well the desire to keep the royalty of one's city safe, thus, her true frustration was aimed towards the false crime that got her here in the first place. But even with her companion's added persuasion, they were still not swayed to believe that their intentions were just. They spoke too fast for Tara to properly defend herself against their accusations, but she knew that she wouldn't get far with anything she had to say. 

Tara decided to speak humbly, her unwavering dedication to the task would hopefully instill even the slightest bit of trust, [color=A1C2E0]"Although it is to my dismay that you all do not see the truth within our intentions, I respect your resolve as I, too, was once faced with decisions of the like. We will gladly accept your test and we will see to it that the citizens are cured."[/color] Tara gave a small bow in respect before turning to her companion and placing a gentle hand upon his shoulder, [color=A1C2E0]"Come. Let us see what plagues these people."[/color] With that, they were escorted back into the public.

Tara took a deep breath, the air escaping into a mist before her mouth. It was already so cold, there's no way the ill could survive the winter. She turned to her companion, [color=A1C2E0]"I would apologize on behalf of the Order for sending your aid to fulfill a task such as this, but it would appear that we were in the same boat--and I mean that literally."[/color] Tara let out a chuckle before continuing, [color=A1C2E0]"My name is Tarasynora, but you may call me Tara."[/color] She took a moment to eye over his appearance, her eyes darting from one elven feature to the next. Perhaps he would be familiar with the name as she was known by many of the elves within her homelands.[/indent][/indent]
