When the...man, pinned his cloak shut Elaine blinked and drew her eyes back to his face, as if she was asleep and someone clapped really loudly in front of her face. "Sir...kull" "Circle!" she repeated loudly, "They, you, are who I am looking for!" she smiled as the world began to make sense again. "I-my name is Elaine." she took his hand and jolted a bit at the feel, she had somehow managed to forget that this creature was not a human and was indeed, covered with fur. "It's nice to meet you Mr.Far-ess" she bobbed his hand up and down vigorously, "I came here because I heard your group would be meeting..." she drew her hand back abruptly to hold her satchel up, "I'm already ready to travel!" she said with some pride. "Oh, are we going to be riding horses? I have never ridden one before..." she looked to the stables nearby then quickly back to Feress, she had been told before it was rude to not keep eye contact when talking with someone, and she wanted to get along well with people from the Circle.
