"I'm Rave," she replied to Énien, the Elf maiden. Rave watched her closely as it seemed something was drawing her attention away. "Are you alright?" she asked the Elf.
Énien nodded, but did not outwardly answer. She kept her eyes on the road trying to secretly scan their surroundings. As they took a short rest while waiting for supplies, Rave looked over the travellers. Énien was tending to her horse while others took care of their own belongings.
Many different people here, she thought. Men and Elves of many different lands and also, it seems, completely different personalities. Strange we would all be in the same inn at the same time agreeing to go on the same journey. How very odd...
Rave looked over at Ranger who was talking to a man, probably a friend, beside him. A few others were over there, but mainly just the guides. And him... she thought looking at Ranger now out of the corner of her eye. He is so mysterious and yet he almost looks as if he is not sure of his own ways. What is the secret behind this man? Could he be hiding something? And his friend...the other man who appears to be...drunk? Why is he so untrusting to those around him?
Rave sat not only wondering about the leaders of this journey but also many others in the group. After all, this was an interesting group of people to begin with. She talked to no one for quite some time, but just sat solemly letting her thoughts drown out the world around her.
