[hr]

As it turned out, the owl was [i]not[/i] pulling Cormag's leg, as he found himself face to face with a woman. She was a small thing- though Cormag supposed [i]everyone[/i] looked small in comparison to he. White hair, like snow and pointed ears. An elven woman then? She explained her presence before Cormag had a chance to ask- she seemed nice enough, interested in crossing over the wall like he was. He'd no reason to doubt her words, and thus took it at face value. [color=lightblue]"Ah, no need for that,"[/color] He chuckled, waving his hand at the elven woman's raised hands. [color=lightblue]"I ain't gonna hurtya. Just habit's all."[/color] He leaned the fusilaxe back against the wooden post where Gomie and Ferrus sat- either confident that the woman truly did not intend to harm him, or merely sure of the fact that she wouldn't be able to easily use his large weapon against him. 

[color=lightblue]"You too, aye?"[/color] Cormag chuckled. [color=lightblue]"Well, I reckon there’s no use'n tryin’ to head on in tonight- well, not sayin' you couldn't, but the place is dark as- well, night- and dark's when things like to skulk about."[/color]

[color=lightblue]"I figure it'd be safer in the morn', let the sun chase the shadows off. Least', that's what I figure- But I won't stop ya if you're dead set on heading on in."[/color] Cormag shrugged, though before he could continue his attention was once again drawn away. Perhaps due to his ingrained training, but he immediately began reaching for his fusilaxe again- though stopped as he heard the newcomer speak. Another woman, this one on horseback- with a gryphon of all creatures following her. Silent road indeed- Cormag shot his owl friend an almost accusatory look, seemed the owl only cared to hoot when it wanted to.

[color=lightblue]"If'n yer friendly, you can share my fire if ye like- both of ye."[/color] Cormag greeted the the newcomer. [color=lightblue]"Name's Cormag."[/color], he introduced himself to the two women, before pointing at the Ox, and metallic dog respectively. [color=lightblue]"That'n there's Gomie, and that's Ferrus."[/color]

He gave a look at the gryphon that was less suspicion, and more confused interest. [color=lightblue]"Not seen a gryphon this close before- or in person at all, come ta think of it. s'he yer friend?"[/color]
