She shifted lightly in her sleep as hoofbeats approached the grove, not even coming to full consciousness. A light snore lifted from her lips, which is unlike elves. She was startled awake to a voice yelling "Hey! Who are you?" She jumped to her feet immediately, drawing her sword. Steel eyes scanned the forest before determining the presence may not be as big a threat as she thought. Sheathing her sword she turned to the other elf and dwarf who had entered the clearing. [color=39b54a]"Hi, I'm sorry if I was rude, I must have fallen asleep. I'm Vivian of the Kolinci village. [/color] She nodded. She was on high alert now that people were arriving, this grove was technically forbidden, but the spirit had given them no choice. [color=39b54a] "I have no idea why she had us meet here, but I suspect because it is hidden and private from others who would overhear. But you're right, a drink would be nice about now." [/color] She responded to the dwarf's comment. She leaned against the tree, still standing. Closing her eyes she thought of Emma and her parents. A small smile played on her lips as she pictured Emma running through the forest, climbing trees and jumping from the limbs. She always was a risk taker, no care at all what would happen if she were to fall. She stiffened as she heard another being nearing, interrupting her thoughts. Steel eyes met Zav's. [color=39b54a]"Last I heard, there was supposed to be six of us, not four. And we're to await further instruction from this spirit."[/color] she replied in a sarcastic tone. [i][color=39b54a]Great, someone who's clearly ill-experienced and unprepared. Did he not think this would be long and difficult? Or that it would be anything but fun?[/color][/i] she thought, not impressed with Zav's demeanor. She tried to give him the benefit of the doubt, but she was tired and grouchy from her long journey. [color=39b54a]"Where are you all from? Did you have to travel far?[/color] she asked the group. She figured they would have to get to know each other and trust each other pretty fast if what the spirit said were true. [color=39b54a]"It took me a full days worth of flying as fast as I could to get here, and on little sleep. I'm sorry I snapped, Zav." [/color] She answered her own question, throwing in an apology. She didn't want to give the wrong impression the anyone she could be trusting her life to in a short while.
