[i]'Important'?[/i] Riley scoffed. Since when has that boy ever had something [i]important[/i] to say to her, let alone Eldren of all people? Their conversations mostly centered around the frivolous, and the occasional Bureau contract, but neither was here nor there in importance to the hunt that they were about to embark on. If anything, it was her big reveal that she was not in fact the man she was pretending to be, but the witch who was being held accountable (at least partially) for the same beasts they were trying to kill. Still, he looked... offended to her? She couldn't quite name the feeling his words and actions placed in her, but perhaps it would be better if they talked... After their current affairs were concluded, that is.

Returning to Aelitha, Riley just barely chuckled. She was so used to talking to with people who had enough knowledge of the event to know of her former self's involvement in the incident, so talking to someone so relatively normal was actually quite refreshing. "Well maybe," he said just so that she could hear, "Maybe I know more than you; participated in one of those 'multiple fights'. Against a vampiress and an Astopolian known as the "God Slayer who was on her side of all things, just perhaps..." She winked at her with a coy smile on her face, an expression that didn't much match the shape of Eldren's face. "But then, you don't seem the type to put much stock in such blatant lies, aye Aelitha?" She chuckled again, turning to the nonplussed elf.

"Hm, horses, eh?" The witch began stroking her chin. She was never good with horses -- a major reason her bear was even a part of her life -- so thought of riding one was perhaps... hazardous, before she got to the real fighting, even. So perhaps... well, she had seen a similar spell cast once, and with the knowledge this body contained, it might even work for her. But first, a quick refresher from the man himself was probably due. 

She walked over to boy who was still trying to nap, and nudged him with the toe of her boot. "Hey, wake up," she said, looking at the ground next to him instead of directly at him. "I apologize for brushing you off earlier," the words were fired off rapidly enough that it was hard to make them out. "Whatever it is you have to say, though, it can wait until after we face the next life-or-death situation we're about to face, right? Because I want you to show me a... spell."
