[color=888888]— Luana Roycroft[/color][/center]

This would not be the first time Luana was smacked around by a large creature. It wasn't the first time she rolled across the ground, end over end, untill she came to a stop. It also wasn't the first time she cracked a rib. The important part was that it wasn't the last time.

[color=34c9cd]"This is getting to be a regular occurrence, eh?"[/color]

She grunted before standing upright. By that time there was little to be done. The dragon monologued again before scurrying off.

[color=34c9cd]"Too soon?"[/color] Luana ran up beside Ethelred. She held out her hand to help him up, but then remembered his curse and retracted her hand. [color=34c9cd]"Did you hear that? Too soon? Wasn't that tree monster saying something like that?"[/color] She eyed his armor. [color=34c9cd]"That thing put its claws on you and tried to gore you. I guess your armor is impervious to it then?"[/color] He was still on his back. [color=34c9cd]"Can I help you up? Do you like, have control over what gets frozen?"[/color]

And then Sorcha showed up. Or at least she was always here, but chose to do nothing until just now. She couldn't even pretend to be surprised with her at this point. She was eccentric and picked unusual ways to phrases things. Which was par the course for royalty. They could call Luana a knight if they so chose, but she was always going to be a peasant. At any rate, there was no need to concern herself with Reinhardt and Sorcha. They were both kind of annoying, and tracking down a lizard was something she could do herself. But if it attacked her, she was sure Ethelred could do something about it. He might not have a title like "invincible" but he seemed pretty reliable.

She scooped up her spear and pushed an acorn into its neck. Not long afterwards a new handle sprouted out of the bottom of it.  [color=34c9cd]"Ready when you are, Ethelred."[/color]
