Nahli covers a smile at Bayard's antics, her feline eyes dancing. "Seems like he has taken a fancy to Leafsong." She looks to Odette who is in tow, her expression one of appreciation. "Thank you. It means much to me. Not everyone has allies, nay, friends as good as the Jackals." Each step echoed down the corridor, before long they came to the cavern where they would be staying. It was cool, and dark, lit by torches. The flames within flickered and danced, casting light over the walls. People sat about, sharpening weapons, sleeping, practicing swordplay. Many wore dour or angry expressions. They had been dealt a poor hand, and no one was willing to help them.Â
They found their way to the open area where they would stay. Nahli would set down the saddlebags and begin unpacking the few belongings she had brought. A sleeping bag, a few potions, some bandages, her bowstring, rations and a few other odds and ends was all she had on this outing. "Last time I went on an outing I brought my whole room. Miir kept poking fun at me for it. Lots of unnecessary shite. I have been working on changing that." She sits back, pulling off her hat, her light skin glistening with sweat. "I am happy to be here. Despite all that is happening, I am glad to lift these people's hearts. Some call it pity. I'm not here because I pity them. I am here because they have nothing, and mayhap for a moment they can forget that in my songs. Mayhap from my songs they can glean a shred of hope for the future."
