Kathlin eyed the root that was being waved expectantly in front of her face gingerly. “Uhhhh…No. I’d rather not, thank you”

“…..”

Vashi toyed the root in her hand, looking somewhat confused, before taking a purposeful step towards the girl. “Aww Rithrynn. I thought you said your human ate anything”

“W-wait! What I mean is….that’s probably not a very good idea” Kathlin bolted out of her chair hurriedly to back away from the elf that was advancing upon her “This thing, is for an experiment right?”

“….Yes?”

“Right. Right. Then using me as a test subject is a terrible idea” Kathlin said hastily. Gradually working her way toward the door, she held out a remonstrating hand toward Vashi, who at the very least seemed to be listening somewhat. 
“Li…that is, [i]I[/i] take so many potions that any results you get are going to be completely different from what you’d get from anyone else. Ideally, um…what you’d want is a person, who’d only taken one potion, y’know as a control measure. And that’s not me. Not me at…all”

Pausing in front of the door, Kathlin gave Vashi a weak smile as she backed into it. “I, uh, got to go”

“Wut?”

The swinging empty door greeted Vashi in return as she gave it a confused look. Out in the hallway, Kathlin headed up the stairs quickly, throwing several anxious looks behind her. “…pretty sure I was done with the living room, anyways…”

“Where are you going?”

“…..”

[i]“This…could be better”[/i]

Liaena thought as she studied Ashei dubiously. Assassin or Night Elf? When it came to which she liked more, it was fairly close, but Ashei did attain an extremely narrow victory. 

“Oh. I’m going to Mister Dal’diebs house too” Liaena explained innocently. Holding her satchel up, she shook it around for evidence, making the unfortunate Donald inside feel even more ill. “I got asked to do shopping, but…then I got lost in the snow. That’s why I was asking my friend here the way” 

Walking casually away from Astrid, Liaena moved closer to Ashei as she started carefully walking in the same direction as the Night Elf. Turning back to look at the assassin, she gave Astrid a sweet smile. “Thanks so much. Um…were you going this way?”

[i]“Wanna play Night-Elf-Chicken with me?” [/i]
