Welcome to Gaia! ::

As the two ladies played in the water Mollie was seeing to the troops. One had reported a human in the vasinity and so the camp wass very alert. Mollie took it upon herself to go and fetch the young princess and her guard to ensure that they would be safe.

"I beg your pardon my ladies but there is a human about and though I do not doubt Madam Kahlan's ablitites, My lord and I would rather be safe then sorry. Please come back to camp." The woman said after she waited for their touching moment to be done with. She scanned the grounds carefully while waiting for them to leave the waters.

Remembering that when she was in front of others, she put her warrior face back on. Only when she was alone with Valery did she ever act normal.

Very well...we shall play another time...

She shielded Valery's naked body with her own, as a way of telling Mollie to turn around as they got dressed. Kahlan led Valery out of the water, and retrieved a large cloth from her equipment. She used the cloth to dry Valery off, then held it in front of Valery while she dressed. When Valery was finished, Kahlan proceeded in putting on her clothing and armor. After they were done, she addressed Mollie.

Okay, let's make our way back to camp...

Kahlan stood patiently, awaiting Valery's command. When she saw Valery's wet hair, it reminded Kahlan to ring out her own. That extra bit of water in the hair could mean major air resistance in battle, causing her speed to slow.

Whenever you're ready, Val...

Mollie nodded and lead them back to camp where a few of the soliders were getting a meal together. Then over from one of the biggest tents came a tall man with rich robes around him. His hair was almost as fine as Mollie's and around his head he wore a circlet with a single gem in the center. Mollie smiled at seeing him and turned to their guests. "Perhaps you would like to dine with our lord. I'm sure he would be more then happy for the company."

Mollie smiled and then led them both to the large tent as the man disappeared back inside. "My lord. Our visitors have desided to accompany you for supper." She said as she entered the tent first. She then moved aside so that the two dark elves could enter. "May I present Princess Valery and Madam Kahlan." Mollie bowed as she said their names and stayed that way as the tall man turned and looked at them smiling. "Pleasure to meet you. I am Lord Rinzen Yeshe. Please, make yoruu selves comfortable." As he said that he sat in a chair near behind him. He then looked at Mollie and shook his head slightly. "Mollie please stand up. You'll hurt your back bowing like that all the time." Mollie obeyed right away but remained slightly stiff much as Kahlan was when others were around her and Valery.

Kahlan was used to bowing, seeing that she protected the royal family (Nightwind Family), so bending her back a little didn't bother her much. She responded in a polite manner.

Thank you mi'lord, for your much-needed assisstance. Giving us a place to sleep and eat is very kind of you...

Kahlan remained bowed until either the elven-lord or Valery told her she could sit. After all, she was just a low-life, crossbreed, to them anyway.

Kahlan was lost in thought as she stared at Valery's beautiful features from where she was standing. If only Valery knew how Kahlan felt about her, things might be different. But she was just a bodyguard to Valery and would never be anything more than her best/childhood friend. Quickly changing back to her warrior face, though not abandoning her thoughts, Kahlan remained standing with Valery until told otherwise.

Valery nodded politely, and sat down, then nodded to Kahlan with a smile, positive she would sit down as well. Her gaze returned to the lord, and she said in a polite, respectful voice, "Ummm...M'lord? Mayhap I may ask you something?"
