The dark clad woman shifted her weight a little as she noticed the tone of Lumen... her eyes sparking lightly with surprise and perhaps a bit of interest. It wasn't everyday that people didn't change their attitude when they stood at the side of one of the hated half elves. Even more pleasant surprises were had when Lumen revealed her mastery of water Thauma... and put it to effect on a magnificent spell. Letting out a soft whistle, she leaned a little closer to feel a single drop of that water fall upon her cheek... looking back at Lumen with a smile as she said "It was about a chance in five, but I really didn't expect this place to be lucky enough to find itself an Undine Thauma user... And more so for them to be a skilled spell caster. Summon Spirits must be looking over this temple... Or perhaps not, given it got torched down in the first place" With that, the half elf takes a few steps back, to Lumen's side once again to look over the wreckage as she puts her hands to the back of her head "Who may have been the vandals? Hope they left a clue or two about their identity... This place is as far away as it can from the other nations to be a good target" "Ah, by the way, I'm Lianne... don't mind my prattle too much? I'm used to thinking aloud a bit too much" She says with a little smile... just as she notices someone else coming to the scene... and her eyes sparkled with even more interest as she noticed the dark skin of this new arrival, raising her voice for the young man to hear "Now this is looking like the beginning of a joke. An elf, a half elf and a dark elf all stand watching a temple burning to the ground..." "Well, young man... so far, we don't know what caused this... event. However, I'm more than a bit curious to find out... and better yet, I'm sure the authorities of the city will be even more eager for that information" says Lianne, lightly scratching her chin "Want to help a fellow long ears try to get to the root of this?" Asks the half elf with a light wink of her golden eyes.
