Ellien continues to watch the two from her vantage point.... Seeing the man she couldn't help but be thankful she had a good hiding skill... if he decided to go PVP then she'd be screwed... he had to have been a pure fighter.... With nothing but dump stats in order to hit that hard and move that fast... and it would be best for her to just avoid him by any means necessary... Instead, focusing on the spear wielding woman as she goes to leave. Ellien follows her moving from tree to tree, staying in their shadows, until the woman finally seems to receive her message... The suddenness of the reply ding caused her to flinch a bit before she opened the message.
Who is this? I don’t normally mind partnering with strangers, but at the moment I feel as if I’m being stalked like prey through the hills.Looking over, she saw the woman hesitating, staring at the invite screen before sending her another message
If you don’t want to reveal yourself around other people that’s fine. If you head south there’ll be a nice clearing, meet me there and we can talk in person about your A frown crosses her face as she brings up her map and looks at the surrounding area to locate the clearing... it looked like it was a decent distance away... not much chance of encountering the glass cannon again... So, she goes back to the message window and replies.
that works... Sorry... I have a personal thing against poachers and glass cannon players... I see the clearing on my map and will meet you there. She sends, before picking up a stick from the ground under the tree. Being an information broker and theif... she had a thing for theatricals and misleading people... So she decided she could at least play up the interesting character concept a bit to mess with this woman...
She hurls the stick over the woman's head, hoping her perception wasn't high enough to notice, and it lands in the brush a little ways away, causing a rattling as it shakes the bush. The moment it lands, Ellien sprints away, figuring her speed was easily higher than anybody who uses heavy armor.
With her speed, it doesnt take her long to reach the clearing. It was probably about twenty, thirty yards in diameter with a few fallen logs laying across the tree line and into the grassy clearing... At the center, as most games liked to do for scenery like this, there was a single, large mossy rock. Which, of course, Ellie saw as a great opportunity to play up the mysteriousness of herself as she climbs up and looks to the north towards where she had come from. Not seeing anybody she pulls up her inventory, and scrolls down to her lute option, which she taps and holds her hands out. Wish a soft whooshing sound, the lute spawns a few inches above her hands, and drops into them.
She gently slides her fingers down the strings, causing the series of soft notes to ring out into the empty clearing, as she sits there, wracking her brains for the best song for this kind of setting... A small grin crosses her face as she remembers a nice, soft, almost sorrowful song she had heard quite some time ago... You gotta hand it to the Japanese... they have some really good music and cartoons... She didn't need to sing for this one either... so it would really help her mysterious image... And after taking a nice, deep breath, holding for a few seconds, before slowly letting it out... she pulls her hood up and begins to
