[color=34c9cd]”The queen…”[/color] The druid’s smile relaxed as Ethelred introduced himself and explained the situation. But once he asked her to do the same, her smile returned. [color=34c9cd]”Oh, I don’t know if I’d quite call myself a druid. I haven’t had much practice with magic. I’ve been a hunter far longer than a druid.But since we’re all on a first name basis, why don’t you call me Luana?”[/color] She nodded, as if affirming an approval Ethelred had yet to give.  [color=34c9cd]”As for why I’m here, I really just wanted to see some elves. I don’t know if there are any here, but I thought there were a lot of Unseelie. I mean, logically, you’d have to assume they are sort of related. Legends tell of times when elves protected the fey, so there has to be a chance the fey here know where the elves are, right? Right? Of course I’m right! And that also means our interests sort of align, don’t they? Different mysteries with the same common thread.”[/color] She rubbed her chin with a hum. [color=34c9cd]”I’d better come with you. You might actually find your mark if I stick with you.”[/color]

Luana opened up one of her pouches and pulled out a handkerchief. It was a dull red and quite old, and wasn’t difficult for her to cut one of the corners off. She twirled the corner with her fingers and stuck it in her ear. [color=34c9cd]”Your mark is a shrewd one. They won’t come out and fight us while we’re at full strength. They like to subdue their targets, maybe divide them up.”[/color] She cut off a few more strips and rolled them up. [color=34c9cd]”I wouldn’t take a chance with that song either. If we can avoid hearing it, we should tune it out.”[/color] Once she finished making a second pair of earplugs, she tossed them to Ethelred. The cloth froze in his hand as the heat escaped as white mist. [color=34c9cd]”Then again, maybe some of us [i]should[/i] be able to hear the song.”[/color] 

Once Luana had filled her ears, and made any more ear plugs that were requested of her, She stood up straight.  [color=34c9cd]”If you want to lead the way, sir knight, I’ll keep an eye on our back. Just uh, someone give me a poke if something happens. I can’t promise I’ll hear anything unless you’re loud enough.”[/color]
