Lyassa watched the elves walk off. She let out a sigh, she had a feeling her coming along displeased them. "I'm... truely sorry if I caused any trouble," she said to Aiden, though the priestess knew she had.

"Oh no, you didn't cause any trouble," Aiden replied, watching Eliamn and Naclia walk away briskly. "I did." The handsome elf turned to smile at Lyassa. "Don't worry, my dear, everything will work out just fine. Now, lets go see your high priest?"

Aiden looked up to the temple to Marfa, which only slightly lacked in splendor from the Falis temple. Large, white marble, and with a large statue of Marfa in robes. Otherwise, it was quite modest.

"How could you have caused any trouble sir?" She asked him politily. She thought the elves had pretended to aim their anger at him, though she thought otherwise. She looked up at the temple of Marfa. "Woud you like to tell me abit about yourself sir?" She said as she started to open the door.

OOC: character interaction time! Let's play know our characters better lol.

"Well...ah, I didn't exactly ask them if you could come," Aiden replied, scratching the back of his head uncomfortably, as if he could still feel Eliamn and Naclia's eyes boring into the back of his skull.

Aiden darted to hold the door for her, as a gentleman should, then entered the temple behind Lyassa. "Hmm...well, there isn't much to tell, we elves don't lead very exciting lives," Aiden replied, though his life was a little more interesting than most. His father was a half-elf, and he was born in a time when the Mirror Forest wasn't exactly as open minded toward humans. Only a few of his mother's closest neighbors knew that Aiden was a quarter human, but they kept it quiet. Naclia knew, but Eliamn did not. Aiden was raised by his mother when most children had a mother and a father. And he wasn't about to explain to a girl that adored him that his mother was insanely controling. "What about you, my dear priestess?" Aiden asked. "I'm certain you must have a far more interesting life than an elf whose never been more than five miles out of his forest until now."

Lyassa looked over at him as they continued to head to where the priestess was. "Not much to tell about myself... I spent most of my life in study under my mother's guidance.." She said with a slight smile. She sighed and stared outside for a second. "This is the first time.. I ever been so far from home.. My father was a knight of Moss and mother was a Priestess of Marfa.. They let go out into the world to offer my service as a priestess and thats what I've been doing most of my life." She said.

Aiden was a little confused, it sounded as she left something out. If her father was a knight of Moss, wouldn't they be living here? Why would this be the furthest she had been from home.

"Your father is a knight of Moss, and yet this is the furthest you've been from home? You've never left the country?" Aiden asked.

Lyassa didn't reply to that. "I was born in Tarba." She said to him. She continued walking looking around one final time to take everything into her soul before she left, since she wouldn't be here for quite awhile.

"Oh," Aiden replied, though he didn't know where Tarba was. It apparently wasn't in Moss though. Elf and priestess passed through the temple corridors as Lyassa led the way to the Head Priestess's chambers. "Where is Tarba anyway?" he asked after a moment. "We elves don't exactly keep up with human nations and cities. They tend to flourish and fade quickly from out point of view," Aiden explained, though he hadn't exactly lived through many changes in his century and a quarter of life.

Lyassa looked over at him and nodded in understanding. "It's located in the White Dragon Mountains.. Which is located in Alania." She repiled to his question. Lyassa turned her head back straight ahead. "Theres a small village where I grew up.. Theres also the grand shrine of Marfa.. We have no guilds like most places do."

"Oh, I see," Aiden said. A pair of priestesses passed him and Lyassa, one brunnette, the other blonde. Aiden smiled warmly at them, which could only be construed as friendly. The brunette gave him a nod of greeting and the blonde smiled almost flirtatiously back at him. She wasn't exactly his type, so he merely moved on without a second glance, likely seeming aloof to the priestess. With his present situation, Lyassa probably wouldn't appreciate him flirting anyway.

"Isn't Alania on the other side of Lodoss?" Aiden asked after the two priestesses were out of earshot. "You have traveled much further than I have, that's certain."

"Yes, its on the other side of Lodoss." She said to Aiden. She smiled as they were coming close to the door. "I may have traveled far.. But, that doesn't mean I'm a adventurer or such like you will be sir." She said to him.

"You're going to be an adventurer too," Aiden grinned to the priestess. At the end of the hall were a pair of massive oak doors, which reminded Aiden of the Falis High Priest's study they had visited only moments earlier. This door was unguarded, but it was obviously belonging to this temple's High Priestess. Aiden let Lyassa lead on.

OOC: Just knock on the door and I'll control the high priestess.

Lyassa gigglied abit as she walked over to the door. "I can't wait to be on." She said smiling at him. Now, that she was at the high priestess's door she liftied up a hand, knocking on the door and wiated for a response.

"Enter," the mature voice of a woman called from the other side of the door. Lyassa opened the door and stepped inside, Aiden following behind her. The high priestess was a statuesque woman in her late fourties with long brown hair that was lined with gray strands.

"Ah, Sister Lyassa, what brings you to my office...and who is your friend?" the priestess asked. She was of course familiar with Lyassa, since she had recently arrived at the temple.

Aiden composed himself to appear as aloof and graceful as was expected of elves. The high priestess was attractive, in a strong, mature way. He didn't have a clue as to her age, only that she had to be much older than Lyassa. Aiden didn't know what to make of human ages, elves didn't appear to age until late in their lives, but humans aged with every passing year. Despite the gray in her hair and the lines around her eyes Aiden still thought the high priestess was attractive.

Lyassa bowed to the much older priestess. "This is Aiden. I met him outside the temple. He had wished to come in with me." She said. Once, she had introducted her friend she tnow began to explain her reason of vist. "I have to come to inform you Mother Erinea that I will be traveling with Aiden and his friends for a while as a their healer, as well as to spreaded the teachings of Marfa all over Lodoss."

Lyassa smiled at Aiden's expression toward the older priestes, but she said nothing to it. "I hope that I may be allowed to do so Mother Erinea." She said with yet another bow.

Erinea studied Aiden sternly as he managed his elven poise, and she appeared convinced that he was a model elf--cool and distant. Erinea's gaze turned to Lyassa. "Sister Lyassa, you are a raised priestess and currently not obligated to any temple. You are welcome to come and go as you please while you take your missions. None the less, thank you for telling me. If you need any supplies, or a horse, the temple will provide them. Good luck, and Marfa's blessings upon you both," the high priestess concluded with a smile.
