Cliaux nodded. She could sort of see where this Highlander was coming from. It wasn't too dissimilar to the probing and prodding that her own master at the Pugilist's Guild had offered her. It looked cruel to those on the outside, and...well...it was. But some people either responded to it and some people wilted and withered.
It was taking the Lalafell some time...but she was responding. Slowly.
She nearly lost her breath as the hearty slap across her back in delight caught her by surprise, so by the time the Highlander had drawn her in to whisper she was already set for the woman's strength, her own powerful form tensing as Phye complained about her ministrations. She offered the Highlander another bright smile, this time beaming more earnestly.
"Just keep trying. Obviously, the 'nutkin' is worth the effort. And she might just surprise you!"
She looked ahead as the layout of the Bronze Lake began to loom large through the rain. She took a quick look down at the flier that was stowed away within her tunic, trying to shield it from the damp as much as possible. "I think we're getting close, friends! Shouldn't be long now!"
