[The camera is propped up on a ledge so that Aureln can eye it as she works, placing the saddle on the back of one of the horses kept in the stable. She sighs.]

So long I've been stuck here, my battles - frozen in time. Frozen. Hah. Excuse the pun. [Her tone is sardonic, as is her smile. She shakes her head and continues saddling up.] At least

[selfished]

Yeah, people sure like to do that whole disappearing and then returning later thing here.

[ There's another sound mixed in with her voice - she's probably muching on something as usual. ]

Maybe the faeries just don't like getting rid of people.

[ audio ]

[bloodforlight]

Well, presumably they didn't snatch us away with no reason.

[ audio ]

[selfished]

Who knows, maybe they just thought it seemed like fun for a while.

[ audio ]

[bloodforlight]

To some, that reason is as good as any.

How long have you been here, bright eyes? You missing home that much?

Video;

[bloodforlight]

Long enough, human. Longer than a year, I think, though I returned home for some time.

[albinoidiot]

That doesn't sound much like fun.

I guess I should have guessed you aren't human. What are you?

[bloodforlight]

How observant of you!

I am of the Sin'dorei. The Blood Elves.

We'll let an ogre chase the elf around for a few hours. It'll be just like home.

[bloodforlight]

[...She snorts with laughter, in spite of herself.]

[Audio]

[shamanisticrage]

Now there's the Aureln I know and love to drink with.

[Audio]

[bloodforlight]

And there is our wise shaman.

[dragon_savior]

You know how to ride a horse?

[Audio]

[bloodforlight]

Tch! Of course I know how to ride a horse! And more, besides.

[Audio]

[dragon_savior]

I'm kinda jealous, I'm not that skilled with riding animals. Then again, I'm usually fast enough that I don't need one.

If you don't mind me asking, what's waiting for you back home?

[Audio]

[bloodforlight]

It's a useful skill. But then, I wouldn't mind such speed behind my feet, either.

[She studies him briefly before answering. As she speaks, her expression hardens, her lips curling into a near-snarl, her voice wavering. Not from fear, not from sadness, but from anger.]

My comrades and I were in the heart of the Lich King's sanctum, the frozen halls of his citadel in Icecrown. We'd slain every one of his lieutenantsm all of his foulest servants... Only he remains.

Aureln...

[bloodforlight]

Yes, Duibhin?

[sunwell_eyes]

[A pause, thoughtful, calculating. And then he's studying her more intently, offering that small, warm smile.]

May I come with you, sometime?

[bloodforlight]

You'd be more than welcome, friend.
