Alice couldn't help but laugh at Beren's question, "In the high courts of Vrettonnia, through most of my childhood. I'm afraid they aren't the type to accept the company of Dwarves, and for a lot of them it's more the pity." She remembered how up-tight half of her homeland were, but honestly the two peoples had a lot more in common than one might think. Both strong preservers of cultural history and lore, not to mention fine appreciation for good craftsmanship.
"Stick with this one, lad!" Geradin said, suddenly appearing between them and poking Alice in the side as he winked. "She's got the know-how. I swear I've heard her talk her way out of an Ogre's cooking pot before. Quite a sight too, mainly for the Ogre. I called down me God's wrath before it could take the astonishment off its ugly face. Hehehe." She laughed maybe a bit too loudly for the company they were keeping. "I remember that very differently," she recalled being more than a little panicked and definitely lucky at the end of it. Another page in the epic tale of Geredin and Alice, if they'd hired a bard they could be rich by now. "Honestly you'd be surprised how well lecturing Ogres how to cook their meals by their meals actually works, considering it's among the oldest tricks in the book!" she left the two Dwarves laughing and beggining to pour each-other drinks, much to the dissaproval and tittering of the Elves around. But, in Dwarfen tradition, they completely ignored the wayward looks and showed a wonderful display of quick comeradery that she always liked the people for. She unfortunately had other business, as she saw two of the group head off in a separate direction, like they were discussing something not for all ears...
Alice wondered after An-Hasst and Argon, in a way one would try and push their way into a conversation. "I wouldn't worry about Settionne." she grabbed their attention. "He seems the type that'll pour his heart and soul out for a bat of the eyelids. I'm more concerned with you two, I'm glad to be in the company of the more practical."
Standing amongst these two made her feel incredibly small and scrawny, which she was hardly a titan to begin with, the contrast in clothing too would be as obvious to any observers as it was likely funny. "I agree, this dragon hardly seems our original task, but I should expect such things to be linked. It would be better for us to fight it if we can, in an arena of our choosing, than as a surprise later on." Unlike demons, Alice knew a fair amount of binding beasts and the like to ones will. Mainly because it was incredibly simple, and most wizards have some sort of cat with them or the like. A dragon was obviously a dozen times more complicated, but no-where near beyond the realm of possibility. At least, not far enough away to help me sleep at night, and if you knew the same you'd probably take to living underground "Besides, surely it is better to do as much good on the way, no?"
She gave a small laugh, "I think we should all be more concerned focusing on how we can actually beat one of these things, unless you have an array of ballistae in that exotic coat of yours?" she turned to the Lizard "I don't suppose you've hunted such beasts before? I do hope you are up to the challenge." She was doubtful, but hoping he would say "Oh yeah, me and me mates just do it all the time. I'll run to my tribe and bring a couple of the boys, and a giant magical net!" Things could never be that easy...
