“What?”
Liaena did a slight double take at her words, before giving Rithrynn an are-you-trying-to-mess-with-me look. “What would she be doing [i]here[/i]? Serphia hates the church”

“She is good hands with the clerics here” Thea said soothingly to the angry Night Elf, as Liam finally received help from the two apprentices that had dared to come close enough to the tiger to assist him with the heavy load of Rae’liel plus armour. Eying Serphia warily, the priestess let out a small, private sigh. 

[i]“When it rains, it pours”[/i]

“I believe we are currently accommodating some associates of yours. Were you aware of that?”

The priestess stood her ground as Serphia’s attention, the Night Elf previously being on the verge of spurring her Night Sabre out of the doors, swung around to fixate on her. “If you would like to speak to them, I would like you to find a berth for your tiger. I can assist you with an empty stable. And keep your voice down please, this is a holy place”

“That’s not what happened – the city guard weren’t even involved” Kathlin observed, peering over to glance at the pages as she worked on Alissah’s wounds. The girl sounded distinctly aggrieved by the inaccuracies of the news, as she scanned the pages. “That headline is sensationalist. The quality of the newspapers really has gone downhill – although I suppose we were technically terrorists. Oh dear”

“……”

“I think I need to explain what happened” the girl stated, after a worried pause. Resting a hand around on Alissahs back to support her, she helped the older woman shift back so she was more comfortably resting on the pillows. “I’ll finish up here, and then go and find Li. She’s good at this sort of thing….”

“Excuse me! Er, coming through, coming through!”

Starting at Liam’s voice, Kathlin shifted over to peer out through the curtains as Liam, the two apprentices and Rae’liel entered, the clerics dragging the unconscious elf towards a bed at the far end, before retreating back through the curtains to smile at Alissah. “Oh…it’s just Priest Gray, and a blood elf. Nothing to worry about”
