[color=#E0E0F8]Rue floated over Riverport, attracting far too much attention then she preferred. She instead focused on finding Bowyn. It wasn’t easy; there were people everywhere - demis, elves, orcs, dwarves, and forest fairies. She had never seen some of these species until her recent adventure. Slightly curious, she perched on the side of a roof to watch the passerby. Her gaze flickered over a rather unusual trio; a red haired elf woman with waist length firebrick red hair, a towering green orc assembled with various weapons, and a tall, slender feline demihuman with a rather punk but interesting ensemble. As though feeling her gaze, the feline turned and stared at her. Rue quickly looked away and down to find Moonlight waiting at the edge of the shop patiently. She smiled at him to assure him there wasn’t any harm. She didn't care glance in their direction again; something about that glare had sent shivers down her spine....

Then, Arn’s voice reached her as he began to separate himself. Thoroughly confused, Rue watched him point to himself and the street. She frowned and silently understood. With a sigh, she watched him depart and felt a twinge of relief; at least Bowyn wouldn’t run away now when she approached. However the sight of him leaving tug at her heartstrings. Poor Arn. She had a gut feeling he meant good; but what Bowyn said made her flinch as she recalled it. Maybe she did trust too easily… Maybe the letter she had wasn’t so noble after all either. Maybe she was just an average little winter fairy being sent off to die. She gritted her teeth and pushed the thoughts out of her head. No. She didn’t have any reason to distrust him or the letter. Rue let out an irritated sigh and growl that caused Moony and one passerby of Elves to glance upwards with curiosity. She managed a mixture of a scowl and a smile which sent them running. She frowned more and stood back up. The longer she sat up here, the farther he could be. 

Rue took a few steps back and then hurtled into the air, catching Moony by surprise. He jogged easily to keep up with her and followed. Passerby made room for the odd duo until she spotted him… with a light elf? She frowned; did Bowyn know him? The two talked rather animatedly, as if they had known another. She’d have to find out wouldn’t she? And if he didn’t, wouldn’t his words come back to haunt him? No, it was Bowyn, and she trusted him; but the wound was still fresh. She gritted her teeth as her temples began to throb. She glanced at Moony and descended to land gracefully beside him in a rather deserted spot. Making sure her wings didn’t disrupt anyone’s space, she folded them against her back. Forcing a smile onto her face, she approached the duo as people parted to allow the wolf by with curious glances. 

[color=lightskyblue]”Hey there!”[/color] she greeted as she forced cheeriness into her voice. She forced a smile and clasped her hands together. Her wings poked out over her shoulder despite being folded. [color=lightskyblue][i]Think Rue! Say something else![/i][/color] But she was caught off guard at the newcomer and wasn’t sure what to make of him, so she glanced in Bowyn's direction. Hurt still reflected in her eyes, but her cheeriness and forced smile was making up for it. Unbeknownst to her, her eyes were still red. She turned to Moony and patted his head as she glanced in the light elf’s direction, unable to meet his gaze. [color=lightskyblue]”He’s safe, don’t worry. He won’t - err - attack you.”[/color] She stroked his head as she thought to herself, [color=lightskyblue][i]Unless I asked him too. Darn it, why did I say that? It was so stupid![/i][/color] Her insides squirmed and her gaze flickered between the fae and the light elf, awaiting whatever came next. [/color]
