Although the Night Elf's eyes were quick to jump to the newcomer, Rithrynn did not seem any surprised at Bella as she came out from her little hiding place.

Indeed, there had been at least a dozen of different eyes trained at her during her wait outside the room, mostly from curious little priestesses who presumably came from the same nosy herd as Liaena. It seemed as if the moment she had stepped into the cathedral, she had become the main center of curiosity for the more nosy members of the church, of which there were no shortage of!

[i]"Yes, this certainly does seem familiar."[/i]

"Apparently, the people who are tasked with protecting their very lives during a soon-to-be very dangerous rescue operation; are not trusted enough to be allowed to participate in a simple discussion." Rithrynn remarked with a slightly sarcastic tone, clearly not happy about being left on the outside as she stood with her arms folded across her chest.
"One would have thought that when there is a paramilitary secret cultist organization going around town and kidnapping their members, they would at least be a little bit more open to their few allies."

Rithrynn, who's face had remained in a sour pout, soon changed expression when she suddenly noticed Bella's features; a spark of recognition appearing in the Night Elf's eyes as she suddenly gained a more curious expression herself.

"Hey, wait a minute... you aren't one of Liaena's peers, are you?" Rithrynn asked, suddenly stepping a bit closer to stare down at the considerably shorter creature.
"In that case, you should probably take care. Li has a tendency to get her friends maimed, kidnapped or worse, which is why we are here in the first place. She is an expert at sticking her nose into anything, especially if it's dangerous. She usually gets out alive; granted, with some considerable help from me; but I cannot really say the same for the people around her."
