Thread: A Lord's Quest (JmBz and Sheepy)

She shied away from the large horse as she came closer, but couldn't help but be curious about the young lord, and why exactly he had opted to come through the elven pathway. Perhaps he was heading to the dragon's lair? The thought caused her to frown in a troubled manner, disliking the thought of him putting himself in such danger, and also disliking the thought of the dragon being slain. Dragons were very beautiful creatures. Surely there was a reason to why one of them had suddenly become so violent? She could not fathom any of it. But there had to be some way to soothe the beast. Unfortunately, no one besides herself seemed to agree with that idea... And there was no way that she could even go all the way to the lair herself. And if she did indeed get in trouble, what would she do with no one else there? The young elf was jolted from her inner thoughts as the young lord hopped off of his mighty horse. She looked up at him curiously, and gave him a soft, abet wary smile as he came closer to her. She certainly was reassured as he bowed to her. But the question still stood. What was such a lord doing here? Then again, if he was from the Chaucer house, he might not have much to do... As much as it pained her, they were not the most well-known house. That was most likely why he was traveling. Possibly to bring some much needed fame to his family's estate? She was unsure of his reasoning. But she may be too timid to even ask. O-Oh... I-I'm glad. She gave a soft laugh. That... y-you're happy to meet me. She mentally scolded herself over her wording. But she paid full attention when he began to tell her exactly why he was traveling through their woods. She was sure that her father would have no issue, as long as he did not stray off of the pathway. Her father was a stern and protective man, especially when it came to his territory. You're going to hurt the dragon? Her wide, inquisitive eyes looked up at him. This time, she did not stutter, but instead looked rather troubled. Dragons usually don't get set off for no reason. She stated quietly. I'm sure that there's something I can do... without hurting it. She blinked, surprised after she said that. I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to speak out so boldly. But... Father says since I know the way, I can travel on this path alone now. I just go to the flower field every now and then. It's summertime, so now the flowers have bloomed beautifully. She commented fondly. I also know magic. So I can protect myself. She added, speaking in a determined tone. However, she actually doubted that she seriously had it in her to hurt anyone. She had only been trained in healing, magic and at times acrobatics. She wasn't capable of using physical weaponry in any way, shape or form. Her father had never wanted her to get involved in any type of battle. But the dragon... there had to be some way to soothe it! An idea, a rather daring one, popped up in her head, and she looked up at Daniel. Biting her lip fretfully, the elf princess struggled to get the words out. I-I know healing magic! She blurted out suddenly. I'm sure I can be useful. I also know nature magic and I'm good with directions... She then realized that she had not stated what exactly she wanted from him. After mentally reprimanding herself once more, the elf princess spoke without really thinking about her words. Please take me with you! The words came out, and she didn't think them over. She instantly regretted it... But she didn't apologize, or try to take them back.
