"Now, now. Octavia.  We've fought many things in the day or so together. Despite.... Well, how she is..."  Augusta started off.  Octavia was scared from a mere glance.  She would question it more if she didn't have some insider knowledge. "She's very strong but she doesn't mean us any harm."  She knelt down and scratched the pup behind the ears before standing back up to listen to Sorcha. 

After the woman was done talking about an intended path, Augusta opened her mouth.  "I'm not very knowledgeable of the dwarves of the mountains here, but that might not be so wise. A certain Lord Firebeard seems to have a want for an elven girl and sent some goons out. A hostage, maybe?  Regardless, we refused to hand Leuca to them and they attacked. Though, you can guess the result."

The elven woman gave a sigh. "Those dwarves weren't exactly what I'd call friendly. It might be dangerous getting near the Dwarven gate unless he's just leading a small faction of Dwarves.  Things might be different then. Or perhaps, there's another way to get there?  I don't know these mountains or the people that inhabit them well, so it's hard for me to say."  The woman was obviously fishing for information and hoping that Sorcha could give her some answers. 

"Oh, but the children of the Stieneter and the Apostles have been a bit of a nuisance."  She added, considering that aloud. Truthfully, she wasn't too concerned about them with Sorcha around but she wanted Sorcha's reaction to the Stieneter being mentioned.
