“Hi…” Kathlin said slowly as she stared up at the gigantic purple face of her rescuer. On a friendliness scale of 1 to Janessa, this one at least seemed a lot less malevolent than the last lot. On the other hand, if she changed her mind about that, the size difference would make the result a very quick battle.

“That's actually a very good question”[/i]

“…why….wouldn’t I be?”

A quick glance around the room revealed too many reasons to list and Kathlin grimaced as she looked up at the elf, whose eyebrows had only risen higher on their trip to the ceiling. “…it seemed like a good idea at the time, okay? Don’t question it.”

[i]“I really hope you have a plan, Li…”

“I need a plan.”[/i]

Thought Liaena as she made her way carefully through the passage, keeping a sharp look out for any traps thoughtfully left for her by Falere and trying to make as little noise as possible. Taking a route that circumvented the room with the cheerful din seeping in through the walls, she paused by one of the dusty doors built into the wall to put her eye to the keyhole. 

The view was partially obscured by the net curtain hiding the servant door, and also the large ass of a Night Elf just then passing though her line of sight. As the latter wandered out of the way, she could just about make out some of the room, with scantily clad Night Elves everywhere. Craning around she could just see Shani, flopped in a chair but looking over at a bunch of elves clustered around a table with interest. 

[i]“Rrggh….why can’t you just be a good target and just leave the room? I thought you were supposed to be on duty!”[/i]

Moving away from the door, Liaena propped herself against the wall of the corridor and thought as she considered her options. 

With a bit of work, she could be the elf on the gate….but she couldn’t speak the language, and in a room surrounded by elves was exactly the wrong time to get busted. 

She could be Serphia, but with her luck Serphia would pick exactly that moment to get out of her bath and it would all go to hell. 

Besides, under the circumstances it was exactly the wrong time to put the idea that Li-could-be-anyone into a Night Elven head. 

[i]“Maybe I should bomb the room and be done with it…they have had it coming for a while”[/i]
