Slowly, more slowly then she would have liked in her injured state, a sense of numbness began to spread throughout her calf, replacing the sting. Aeylisia resisted the temptation to sigh with relief, instead slowly on curling her hands from their clenched fists and lowering her forehead onto her arm, the absence of pain allowing the fatigue she felt to crash over her.. She hummed in acknowledgment to the information about human's having slower healing rates, But otherwise didn't comment on that bit of information, storing it away for future reflection. Carefully, so as not to draw attention, she watched The part of Shade she could see out of the corner of her eye, Contemplating on his presents almost as much as he was contemplating hers.
trust me human. You will be the first to know if I feel any sort of pain." She responded tiredly a moment before a vague sensation of tugging started in her leg. It was an odd feeling, but no pain accompanied it, allowing her to easily put it from her mind.
Shade was not what she expected a human to act like. Aeylisia had been raised on stories of human brutality, stupidity, and short tempers. She had seen the evidence of this when she had encountered the remains of a group of humans that had been working on destroying part of her forest when she had gone to meet her father. She had heard stories of the wars their people had waged against the elves, So the violence hadn't surprised her as much is a tad in raged her. But here was a human that was doing a very thorough job of taking apart everything she had ever known about humans and was casting The preconceptions aside like leaves in the wind. He hadn't been in the forest to kill the trees, he had been hunting a manticore for the good of his people, he hadn't left her to be slaughtered by the monster, he had saved her life when the creature would have pounced on her unsuspecting back, And then he had helped her to his camp and was now tending to her wounds... Aeylisia blinked thoughtfully, beginning to wonder if all she knew of the human race was built upon lies...
His questions brought her back to reality and Aeylisia couldn't help the scowl that touched her face at yet another reminder of the attack on her forest, Despite the evident teasing in Shade's voice when he used her title again, making her want to cringe instead. With all that had happened between her begging for permission to hunt down the humans and stumbling into a camp with one of them, She had almost forgotten that she had first stumbled into one of Shade's traps when she had still been in her wolf form. The reminder only Deepened her scowl. But then she really considered his question and the elf had an immediate sense of conflict. He had no idea that her people called this forest home nor that there had been a group attacking part of the eastern border... Did he? To reveal that her people lived deep within the heart of the forest felt like a betrayal, So she carefully worded her response to give away the least amount of information that she possibly could. "... I was informed of an attack on this forest by a group of humans and it was quickly discovered that they were here hunting elves Buy a disturbing parchment they carried with them promising a reward for the capture of one of my kind." She began to explain, her hands tightening into fists once again as some of her anger resurfaced. "those who discovered the men chopping down and burning the trees had already killed the intruders as their axes were turned upon them... I volunteered to run south and check that there were no others attacking the forest." By the time she got the last word out, Aeylisia's voice had grown Sharp with her anger, her face turned resolutely away from Shade.
