Luana had mostly been addressing Ethelred, but the other knight and squire found time to interject with their own comments. If she heard Lugh comment on her beauty she made no attempt to acknowledge it. Elnith managed to catch the druid’s attention when she asked about her teacher.

[color=34c9cd]”No!”[/color] She practically shouted her response. [color=34c9cd]”I mean, maybe? Possibly? I don’t know.”[/color] She hugged her spear against her side. [color=34c9cd]”Ever since I started my quest to find an elf, I’ve spent a lot of time in forests. Living in them, hunting in them, and once you become the forest’s friend, it starts to talk to you!”[/color] She held her chin. [color=34c9cd]”Or that was what I had assumed. Maybe the whispered instructions of the forest were actually a Tuatha who took interest in me. Maybe a distant admirer? But then why wouldn’t they approach? Oh, maybe it was an elf!”[/color] 

But dreaming of such fantasies would have to wait.She offered makeshift earplugs to each of the knights.  

[color=34c9cd]”Oh yea! I should have known you were too cool for that sort of thing.”[/color] Her grin got just a bit bigger.  [color=34c9cd]”You’re still not the coolest one here though.”[/color] Lugh’s refusal seemed to hurt her more, as she almost looked concerned. [color=34c9cd]”Really? I mean, your ear canal can’t be that wide, right?”[/color] She shrugged and grabbed a hold of her stocking.  [color=34c9cd]”I think I’ve got some more material here to shave off.”[/color] 

But she wouldn’t have time. Birds started to fall out of the sky, and Luana’s new companions were drawn towards something. Cloth ear plugs weren’t the best, but they seemed to do their job. She gave the knights a quick glance before correcting her posture  and resting her spear on her shoulder. 

[color=34c9cd]”I’ll keep us safe.”[/color]

She remained behind the knights, ready to mirror their behavior. Their mark might know where they were, but had they anticipated one of them would be immune to their charms?
