For a moment she remained where she was, she wasn't too sure what she wanted to do for the rest of the morning. She wondered if she could sneak back to camp and sleep without being disturbed. Though if she was caught there then it would give her brother a reason to bother her and she didn't want that at all. She wasn't in the mood to deal with any Dark Elves or Light Elves, perhaps she could find a spot in the forest where she could rest her tired mind. Judith's ears shot up when she heard unfamiliar voices, at first she couldn't tell where they were coming from but as she slowly moved closer three Dark Elves came into view. One of them being the one that she had encountered twice now. Judith kept herself low and told the little dragon to remain quiet.

When the two that she had not seen before left the little dragon climbed down Judith from her shoulder and happily trotted up to the Dark Elf. He cooed and pawed at the Dark Elf's leg for attention. Judith remained hidden for a few seconds, wondering if she should reveal that she was there or not. Though, she wanted to ask the Dark Elf a question. She had heard the others speak his name and she remembered knowing a Dark Elf when she was a child who was named Rhyldrin. She wondered how many Dark Elves could be named that and decided that it couldn't just be a coincidence.

She finally stood from where she had been hiding and cautiously approached the Dark Elf. Her eyes scanned the surrounding area making sure that no other Dark Elves remained, she hoped that no other Light Elves would appear either looking for her because she was causing her brother trouble. Then she brought her eyes to the Dark Elf, she looked over his face curiously. No wonder she had recognized the scar yesterday, she remembered when they had first met he had been wounded. "Rhyldrin?" she tilted her head as if she were a curious animal. Would he recognize her as well? "I knew that I recognized that scar." she added then smiled.

"Judith," she said confirming that that was her name. Though he now knew who she was she still kept herself away from him, weary of what he could possibly do to her. The other day he had held a knife to her throat and had threatened to do harm to her in more than one way. They had been friends as children but now they were meant to be enemies and nothing more. Judith had wondered where Rhyldrin had been all of this time and deep down she wondered if she would ever run into him on the battlefield. It was an awful thought because what would she do if she had to kill him? Though she always assured herself that it was probably impossible that they would ever meet again or at least recognize each other all these years later. It had been ten years after all. Judith had stopped seeing him shortly after her thirteenth birthday due to the rising conflict between the Dark and Light Elves.

Judith wasn't too sure what else to say to him. Asking how he was was definitely out of the question, he probably had no interest in small talk with her. Perhaps it would better for her to leave him be, eventually they might meet again but it could end in bloodshed. She didn't need to build a relationship with him, it would only make things difficult. "It's sad that we have met again under such circumstances." she finally said, her eyes didn't leave him.

"I suppose not," she said then shrugged her shoulders. She couldn't help but find it awkward at the moment, perhaps if they did speak a little bit more she would be more comfortable though she didn't think that that would happen. Judith had to be careful, even though they had been friends as children didn't change the fact that they were now enemies. He could easily strike her when he least expected it, though she wouldn't strike him unless it became absolutely necessary. "It's too bad though, isn't it?" she asked then smiled at him. "There really is no longer a reason for the war to continue but it doesn't seem as if it will end any time soon."

Judith snorted with laughter at his comment. "Do you always flirt with the enemy?" she asked, she seemed to be teasing him she smiled at him warmly. Ever since she was seventeen men took an interest in her and as she grew older it seemed as if they wanted her even more. Though she never thought much of her looks, Judith was rather attractive. She even caught some of her fellow soldiers eyeing her every now and then. Though that could always just be because she was one of the only women in the war. She hesitated at first but then brought herself closer to him, her eyes wandered over Rhyldrin. "I could say the same about you," she almost whispered it, the words rolled off of her tongue.

"Hopefully that time will be soon, it would be nice to see the Dark Elves and Light Elves finally getting along. Though it would take some years for both to accept each other, ending the war and bringing peace between both will be a good start." Judith looked down at the little dragon who began to whine once again. He crawled up her leg, using her clothes as a latter to bring himself to her shoulder. He perched himself there and let out a soft yawn, it was barely the afternoon and he wanted to nap already or maybe he was bored from not receiving any attention.

Judith bit her tongue, afraid of what might slip from her lips if she didn't. She had become quite the flirt over the past few years, Judith had been with men before and if she really wanted to manipulate Rhyldrin she always could. Though, she wouldn't do that to him because of their past and she didn't believe it was necessary at all, she didn't need anything from him. Besides, she didn't think so little of Rhyldrin that she would do that to him. She knew that he wasn't an idiot, even as children he was rather smart for his age. "Cute?" she purred, she had not been called cute before. "That's the first time that someone had called me that." she added, her smile became even bigger.

"Have I ever lied to you?" she asked teasingly, Judith wondered how far she could push him before he did something rash. Though maybe it was better she left before any urges overcame him or any overcame her. "To be honest I always found you rather attractive, is that a bad thing?" she looked at him almost innocently. Judith took a step back and threw her shoulders back in a shrug. "I suppose that it can end now, we can't really be caught speaking to each other. Can we?" though she knew that she had to go she really didn't want to. Her skin was crawling with excitement and her heart was pounding in her chest.

"He would probably be furious if peace came between the Dark and Light Elves, he isn't one to give up." she said it sourly, Judith didn't like her brother that much. Though there was still that love for him because he was her brother and for no other reason. "If it had happened when we were children then we would have never stopped speaking, that would have been nice." Judith allowed her mind to wander a bit, she wondered what would have happened between them if they had continued to see each other. Though when Rhyldrin spoke in another language her attention went back to him.

Curiosity grew in Judith's eyes, she wondered what Rhyldrin had just told her, she knew that it was his native tongue and he was probably using it on purpose to tease her. He certainly knew that she couldn't understand it. She was tempted to ask him what he had said, then she decided not to. It was probably better not to know. He had been flirting with her and it could be something that could tempt her to stay longer and she would probably say something without thinking. Though whatever she said she would mean it, Judith was still a kind person but she wasn't as innocent as she use to be. She wondered what Rhyldrin thought of her because of the way she had been acting.

"I'm not saying things just to flatter you." she purred, Judith had to try very hard not to giggle. She felt like a child playing with a new toy, though she already had already had this toy before, it just had new features. "I wouldn't want you to be caught either, I'm enjoying this." Judith would look forward to them meeting again, she wondered when that would be. "I will probably be here again, you can find me whenever you want to." she too heard the footsteps, though it just seemed like a few soldiers patrolling the area. They might have been sent to check up on her, to make sure that she was doing what she had been sent out to.

Judith looked at the little dragon on her solider and brought a hand to him. "I will have to hide you again for now," she whispered to him. The little dragon crawled into her hand and didn't resist being put into her pocket once again. Judith scratched under his chin lightly before she took her hand out from her pocket. As she headed back to the camp she crossed paths with the two soldiers, they gave her an odd look before carrying on with their conversation. Judith went to her living quarters, her brother wasn't there to question why she was back so soon and there were little soldiers around who she knew. Judith brought the little dragon out of her pocket and placed him on the table by her bed, she crawled into it without hesitated and once she was some what comfortable she let out a sigh. The little dragon chirped and brought himself beside her, he buried himself against her for warmth and closed his eyes.

It had not taken Judith too long to fall asleep, it was about time that she finally got some proper rest. Though it didn't last more than a few hours. The little dragon had heard the footsteps coming to the tent and quickly hid underneath her bed. Judith was abruptly woken by a Light Elf who had entered her tent. She stared at him, still groggy because she had only woken up. "It seems that we have a problem," the Light Elf said, Judith rubbed her sore eyes and looked up at him. It was a familiar face that she would rather not see. "Your brother wishes to see you, I'm surprised that he had not come to get you himself, he's behaving rather well despite the news that he just received." he smiled at Judith, she wrinkled her nose in disgust when she caught his eyes wandering over her body. "He wants you because of your talent with your bow, we are expecting some visitors tonight." he stepped towards her bed, Judith prepared herself to smack him if needed. It seemed as if he was going to climb into bed with her, the thought of that made her stomach feel knotted. Though he didn't, he reached out his hand to help her from her bed.

Judith sat up from her bed and brushed hair away from her face. "I don't need your help," she hissed then stood on her own. She pushed past the Light Elf, if she could stab him without any consequences then she certainly would. His eyes followed her as they always did, no matter how much she rejected him he continued to come after her. "I don't need you to escort me so you can leave now." Judith began to gather her things. The Light Elf hesitated for a moment, his mind was elsewhere. Judith didn't even want to begin to question what he was thinking of. It felt as if he was undressing her with his eyes. "Go!" she barked at him. The Light Elf grinned at her, before he left he spoke once more. "You're a god damn bitch, but I like that." Judith felt sick when she heard him laughing as he walked away. She wondered how such a bastard could become a general, especially with his reputation with woman. If he ever tried anything with her he would get a nasty surprise. All he had to do with give her a reason to hurt him and she would without hesitation.

Judith listened to make sure that he had left, she didn't want him following her to her brother's quarters, even if that would be where he would be going as well. She didn't like being alone with that man, when she was seventeen she had quite the incident with him and didn't wish to have anything to do with him. As long as he was in a room with others he seemed to behave, though he still couldn't keep his eyes off of her. Maybe she would tear them out as a punishment for what he had done to her. She wish that she had years ago. Judith breathed in deeply then breathed out, she had to remain calm in the presence of her brother. She had already been testing his patience for the past few days. She took strapped her pouch of arrows to her waist, then her dagger to her right thigh and picked up her bow. Judith looked around the small space, she had not seen where the little dragon had gone. "Don't follow me," she said aloud. "It's for your own good, I will come back later." then she left.

When she reached her brother's quarters there seemed to be quite the commotion. There was more men than there usually was and Brishen seemed clearly on edge. When he saw his sister he approached her. "I don't need you to pull any of your crap tonight," he spat at her. "I need your skill, I don't need your bullshit." he added then walked away from her. Judith raised an eyebrow at what he had said. From what the other man had told her she assumed that they were expecting Dark Elves. Brishen cleared his throat and the men fell silent, then he explained why he had brought them all here. Judith rolled her eyes, he was exaggerating the entire situation as he always did and going on another power trip. Judith wondered how someone so clearly insane could be a general. When he was done the men cheered, they were thrilled more than nervous about being able to draw their weapons tonight. Judith chewed on her lower lip, she wondered if she would see Rhyldrin.

Her eyes wandered over the crowd, they were all preparing themselves for their encounter with the Dark Elves. Judith's eyes fell on the Light Elf from earlier, when their eyes met she turned away, deciding to leave the crowd. When would he leave her alone? As she left the group of men she could hear her name being called. Judith resisted the urge to turn and see who was calling it, it sounded like her brother's demanding voice. He probably wanted to threaten her to stay our of trouble but he should know her better by now. Even as a child she didn't listen to her parents or any other Light Elves, especially her brother. Judith went to the forest as she pleased no matter how much she got in trouble for it. She did other things too as she got older.

Judith had gone back to her tent, avoiding any Light Elves on the way. She would rather be sleeping right now, though she really had no choice. Please Goddess, she thought then brought herself to her bed. Don't let my cross paths with Rhyldrin. Judith brought a hand to her face and rubbed her tired eyes. "You can stop hiding now," she said aloud. Judith expected to hear the little dragon chirp happily but instead she heard someone step into her tent. She looked up alarmed, her nose wrinkled in disgust when she saw a familiar face. "I didn't know that you knew that I was there." her skin crawled when she his eyes wandered over her body. "Get out, Uldric!" she barked, then stood from her bed.

Uldric laughed at her, he thought that she was being cute rather than intimidating. The way that he was looking at her made her feel violated. "Are you deaf? Get out!" she nearly screamed it. Judith's face was hot and her skin felt as if it were boiling. Instead of leaving he stepped towards her, he took her wrist in his hand tightly and pulled her close to him. "Why should I do that?" he asked, a smile crept on to his face. He brought his free hand to her waist and pressed her body against his, Judith trembled at the feeling of his body against hers. When she tried to pull away he tightened his grip. "Let go!" she spat in his face, Uldric's smile disappeared and he became angry. "Bitch!" he hissed he threw her to the ground hard without hesitation. "Why do you have to be so difficult?"

Judith gasped frantically for air, for a moment it felt as if she couldn't breath. All of the air had rushed out of her lungs when she hit the ground. Judith tried to lift herself from the ground quickly before she could Uldric brought his hand across her face. She let out a cry from the pain, the right side of her face began to throb. She whimpered when she felt him get on top of her, she couldn't allow this to happen. Judith pushed her hands against his chest in an attempt to get him off. Uldric laughed at her, he quickly took her hands in his own ad pinned them down above her head. Judith squirmed under his weight, he wasn't going to do this so easily. Despite her being difficult it didn't stop him from forcefully kissing her. When she felt him push his tongue into her mouth she saw an opportunity. Judith brought her teeth down on his tongue, she gagged when the taste of blood became overwhelming. When Uldric pulled away she let go, he howled like a wounded animal. She should have bit his damn tongue off.

"You fucking bitch!" he hissed, he spat blood as he spoke. Judith flinched when she felt some splatter across her face. Uldric reached out a hand to grab her by the neck, Judith bent her arm and brought her elbow across his face hard. She pushed him off of her, Judith quickly stood and took her bow in her hand. When Uldric lifted himself from the ground he looked up at her, his face was twisted with pain. "You broke my nose!" he cried, his voice had a mixture of anger and fear. He held his broken nose in his hand as he stood. Judith prepared herself to strike him with her bow if it became necessary. "Get out!" she barked at him, Judith's wide eyes watched him carefully. She wouldn't allow him to gain the upper hand. Uldric took a step towards her, she swung her bow across his head. "I should kill you," she hissed at him and took a step back. "I should beat your damn head to pieces!" Uldric raised his free hand attempting to show that he no longer wanted to harm her. He slowly backed away towards the entrance of the tent. "Don't think that this is over!" he hissed then left.

It took some time before her breathing returned to normal, though her mind was still all over the place. Judith didn't have enough time to dress in clean clothes or to clean up her tent. Knowing Uldric he would run to her brother and tell him that she had attacked him. Even though she could easily prove that he had followed her with the intent of harming her, she didn't have enough energy to do so. "Fuck," she mumbled quietly to herself. She waited another minute before leaving her tent. Judith wasn't sure where to go, she couldn't stay here.

Brishen was finishing a speech as the two foot soldiers rushed to him. They pushed themselves through the crowd and pleaded for his attention, they had important news about the whereabouts of the Dark Elves. Brishen smiled, he spat out a few more words then brought his attention to the two men. "What is it?" he asked, demanding to know everything immediately. He raised an eyebrow when the men hesitated to speak. It seemed that all of his men worshipped him but feared him at the same time. One of the men cleared his throat before he spoke. "The Dark Elves are not too far from here, a few minutes into the forest and-" the other man interrupted him, he seemed a bit on edge. "They were fighting one of their own, they seem to be quite distracted. If we go now then we can catch them off guard." they both smiled at Brishen, they knew that he would be pleased with this information. "Though we should still be cautious," one added, the other nodded. "Rushing would not be a smart idea either way."

"You two can lead us to them since you know their whereabouts, though don't wander too far from me." Brishen turned and looked over the crowd of men, they had fallen silent as one by one they noticed that he was looking at them now. "Listen now!" he barked, they stood straight and clenched their weapons in their hands. "Follow me and these two men, we now know the whereabouts of the Dark Elves." the men nodded and as Brishen began to walk with the two men they followed. Though he didn't get too far before Uldric approached him, Brishen raised an eyebrow at his condition. "What happened to you?" he asked though really he didn't care too much. Uldric let out a heavy breath, he had been running. "Your damn sister!" he hissed, he still held his broken nose in his hand. "She broke my fucking nose and nearly tore off my tongue!" Brishen roared with laughter, Uldric was slightly surprised by his reaction. "I have no time for this," Brishen said then pushed past him. "Go care for yourself, I will talk to my sister after this but I doubt that she would do that to anyone without a good reason." Brishen didn't give Uldric a chance to speak again, he quickly left with his men. He knew of the incident between Judith and Uldric some years ago and a few other incidents that involved Uldric and women. Brishen wouldn't be surprised if Uldric was up to no good again. He probably deserved worse than a broken nose and sore tongue.

( such a lame fight - kicks self - )

Judith's feet pounded against the ground as she ran. Why did it seem as if she couldn't find any peace? All she had wanted to do was rest for the night, to have energy finally but she had to be disturbed by that scum bag. Then she was told about attacking the Dark Elves, then Uldric coming into her tent just moments ago. Her head was pounding so hard the she almost couldn't think clearly. I should have killed that bastard, she thought bitterly. Why had she not killed him? If she had then she wouldn't have to deal with him in the future. Don't think that this is over, that's what he had told her before leaving. Uldric deserved more than a broke nose, sore tongue and a sore head from her bow. Though Judith could easily do harm to him she couldn't bring herself to take his life. She was too kind even to the enemy, soon enough she would cause her own death if she didn't change.

She had not ran too far from the camp, the light that surrounded it reflected off of her eyes as she looked back. Thankfully she had been able to avoid any Light Elves, by the time she had left most of them had gathered around her brother to listen to what he had to say. Judith let out a heavy breath, she wondered if finally she could be alone. "You're a pretty one," Judith turned and her eyes landed on a lone Dark Elf.

Judith didn't have the chance to speak before he drew his blade and swung it at her. Judith felt the material of her shirt split open, exposing her stomach, she breathed in sharply waiting to see red but he had not touched her flesh. As he swung at her again Judith brought her bow up allowing it to take the hit. It was better to damage her bow than to receive a wound that could potentially be fatal. She could always have this one fixed or purchase a new one. He pulled his blade away from her, he seemed frustrated that he had not been successful at shedding blood, "Damn Light Elf," he hissed. When his blade struck her bow a second time it snapped in half. The Dark Elf brought his free hand to her neck and tightly wrapped his fingers around it. Judith quickly reached for her dagger, he was a fool to think that she would give up so easily and allow him to take her life. Judith quickly brought the dagger to his neck then slide it across his flesh, he dropped his weapon to the ground. The Dark Elf sunk to the ground with his hands pressed against his neck. Judith kept her eyes on him until he no longer breathed.

Judith breathed out but quickly held her breath as she felt a sudden pain. She pressed her hands against her stomach, they felt warm and wet as she brought them away. "Fuck," she mumbled, the Dark Elf had slid his blade across her stomach before she did the same to his neck. Though at least it didn't seem as deep as she had feared it might be, she would certainly live. She still needed medical attention of course.

Judith breathed out heavily, she had to have the wound stitched and bandaged to prevent an infection. Even though the bleeding couldn't kill her then an infection certainly could. Though it wasn't deep she couldn't allow it to bleed any more than it already had, Judith had began to feel a bit light headed as she pushed herself in the direction of the Light Elf camp. With her luck Uldric would be at the medical tent receiving attention for the wounds that she had given him.

Judith had not moved far from the Dark Elf's body before she heard a sudden noise. Her ears shot up and she listened curiously, was it another one? In her current state she could only take so much. When she heard her name her heart throbbed in her chest, she was happy to see a friendly face. Though she wondered how friendly Rhyldrin would be considering how he had tried to kill her just the other day and considering what was happening tonight.

"I-" she hesitated to speak, really she couldn't explain why she had chosen to wander so dangerously close to the forest. What had she expected to happen? She should have known better than to do so with all of the Dark Elves about. "I'm an idiot, that's why." she mumbled quietly to herself. Did she really look that bad? She wondered if her face had bruised from Uldric striking her earlier, her wrists had bruises from him holding them so tightly.

"I didn't know where to go, I shouldn't have come so close to the forest. I should have thought of something else but really my mind isn't in the right place right now." she laughed quietly to herself, thinking about it even more made her feel worse. "I just had a run in with one of the Light Elves, I didn't want to stay at the camp knowing that he would cause a fuss and blame me for the entire situation so... I fled." she looked up at Rhyldrin and smiled weakly. Judith didn't feel like going into details really. "I can get treated in the camp, why are you worrying about me?" she seemed to be teasing him. Though she wondered if he really was concerned for her well being. It was kind of cute. She stumbled a bit, nearly falling over in the process.

Judith watched Rhyldrin for a moment, wondering what she could possibly say to him. "I don't like to shed blood but if someone is going to threaten my life or cause me harm then I will defend myself." she seemed a little bitter as she spoke. The last thing that Judith wanted to do was take the life of another but she wouldn't allow herself to die. "I value my life quite a bit, even if you intended to harm me then I would defend myself." she smiled at him, though if he went to harm her now she barely had the energy to defend herself properly.

"What are you going to do if I can't walk?" she asked, Judith pressed her hand against her wound, she cringed at the feeling of it throbbing. She had been wounded before but had not received a wound of this size, it was new to her. Judith wanted to walk, she pushed herself to take a few steps but then it felt as if she continued her damn legs would give in. She didn't know how much blood she had lost by now, she felt rather light headed. "Fuck it," she mumbled quietly to herself. "I can't walk, I feel as if I'm going to collapse."

Judith bit her tongue when he warned her not to scream, she didn't feel like being dropped and left on the ground as she bled out. Judith looked away from Rhyldrin, for a moment her cheeks burned and became red. For the first time in what seemed like forever she felt comfortable. "How romantic," she said teasingly, she looked up at him and smiled. "Do you always care this much for others or am I an exception?" her eyes wandered over Rhyldrin, she wondered what was making him do such a thing. He didn't have to help her, he could have just left her there to care for herself. She couldn't even begin to imagine the trouble that he would get in if he was spotted brining a Light Elf to safety. Judith closed her eyes, they felt rather heavy and she felt sleepy. Though she wouldn't allow herself to fall asleep in his arms, she wanted to know where he was taking her.

Though she wanted to trust Rhyldrin she couldn't let her guard down even for a second. Even if they had been friends as children and seemed to get along as adults for now he could easily turn on her and decide that she wasn't worth saving or perhaps he didn't plan to save her at all. He could always be tricking her. Judith felt small in his arms, she had not thought about it before this but he really was quite tall and much bigger than herself. "Am I heavy?" she asked curiously, she wondered if her weight was nothing to him. Judith had a small frame, she was a tiny little thing compared to Rhyldrin.

Judith opened her eyes and looked up at him, though he never told her where he was bringing her she had an idea of why she wouldn't like it. She decided not to question him about where he was taking her, she didn't want to push his buttons. "You know how I am," she said to his comment about her asking stupid questions. "I find interest in almost everything, I'm naturally curious." Judith smiled warmly at Rhyldrin though that smile disappeared when he mentioned dragging her around when they were children. "If I remember you were quite a hassle." she mumbled, she reluctantly allowed her eyes to close. Judith was afraid that she could fall asleep at any moment. "I remember that you had quite the temper and always wanted to teach someone a lesson," she laughed quietly to herself remembering a few times where she had convinced him to not do anything rash. "There was a few times when I was afraid that you would even turn on me. I know that I was a chatterbox back then and if you don't know by now I still am."

Judith wiggled a little bit in his arms in an attempt to become for comfortable, she kept her hands to herself not knowing if he would allow her to hold on to him. "I understand," she said then opened her eyes. When she looked around they were in an entirely different place, had she fallen asleep for a few moments? She didn't remember the last thing that she had said though she heard what Rhyldrin had told her. "I'll keep to myself then and be quiet, I don't want to cause you any trouble."

Judith's ears dropped when Rhyldrin mentioned that he could have been like her brother. She wasn't too sure what to say to him, though it wouldn't be good things about her brother to defend him. They had been raised by two loving parents, despite them disliking Dark Elves and a few other things they were good people. Judith wondered what had caused Brishen to become the man that he was, then again Judith wondered why she had turned out the way she was. She had not allowed what her parents, the elders or any other adults influence her and shape her opinions.

She felt nervous as Rhyldrin spoke to the guard, Judith was afraid that he would discover what Rhyldrin was really up to. She didn't want to cause Rhyldrin trouble, really she was surprised that he had picked her up and intended to care for her. She could have made it back to the camp some how despite her current state, she didn't have to be such a burden.

She breathed out heavily, relieved that the guard had not bothered Rhyldrin about why he had her. Judith opened her eyes and looked up at Rhyldrin, she still didn't know what would drive him to do such things other than he really was a good person deep down inside. She wanted to ask him but decided not to, there were other Dark Elves around and she could ear them whispering and feel their eyes on her.

At first she was confused as to why Rhyldrin had kicked opened the door, then after listening to their conversation it made sense. Judith let out a heavy breath when she was placed on the bed, it wasn't the most comfortable but it was better than being on the floor or the cold ground. Judith kept quiet, she didn't think that speaking right now would help Rhyldrin. If they seemed too friendly with each other it could make the entire situation suspicious, but then she heard the man say I know you better then that, hell I know that your not even going to touch her. Judith wondered if Rhyldrin had done this before, perhaps this Dark Elf just knew Rhyldrin well enough to know what he actually intended to do. Judith nearly jumped out of the bed when another one appeared, though she calmed down once Rhyldrin seemed to be in no danger. Hell, what was she going to do if he really was? She really couldn't do anything in her current state.

Judith bit her tongue afraid of making any comments that would upset the woman. She was adorable? It seemed as if she was a pet rather than another Elf to this woman and that made Judith upset. Though she knew that she couldn't say anything, she didn't even know if she could speak to the two other Dark Elves as she would with Rhyldrin. He was certainly different than the others, Judith wondered if the other Dark Elves would bother him because he brought back a living Light Elf. Then again females were quite hard to come across, at least female Light Elves and Judith was quite attractive despite being beat up. Maybe they wouldn't question him too much about bringing her here.

"I'm not going to scream," she mumbled quietly to herself. She knew that if she did it would just cause a commotion and she had had wounds tended to before. She didn't like the feeling of a needle piercing her skin or the feeling of thread closing her wound though she would tolerate it to prevent herself from getting an infection. Her eyes wandered over to the two other Dark Elves, she wondered how long they would stay.

It was good that Rhyldrin had numbed her wound taking away any pain from him tending to the wound. If she had felt him piercing her skin with the needle she might have felt sick. She didn't do too well with having her wounds treated or having wounds to begin with. Perhaps that was another reason why she avoided conflict with others.

Judith felt less nervous when Rhyldrin told her that the other two Dark Elves were alright to talk to. Though she didn't feel completely comfortable yet, she didn't even fully trust Rhyldrin yet even though he had just tended to her wounds. The war had done that to her, she felt as if she couldn't trust anyone as easily as she use to. Judith couldn't even bring herself to trust her own kind, she had her reasons of course. She was surprised that she didn't hate Light Elves by now or even Dark Elves from her experiences with them in the war. Though she continued to remind herself that not all of them were the same.

Judith sat up when Rhyldrin left her side, she hung her legs over the side of the bed and let out a sigh. "That's comforting," she said and smiled at the woman, she really did mean that. It was good to hear a Dark Elf say that. Though Rhyldrin helping her was certainly proof enough. Despite how he had wanted to kill her just the other day and do other things as well. "If it helps not all Light Elves wish to do harm to Dark Elves." she added, Judith looked at the man who stood by the woman. "Can I really slap him if he bothers me?" she asked and laughed quietly, she was only joking and hoped that the man took it as one.

"Food does sound good but I really don't want to bother Rhyldrin," she said and smiled weakly at the two. Though that didn't stop the woman from bothering Rhyldrin about it. "Though if he doesn't mind cooking then that would be good and I will eat." really Judith felt as if she could fall into the bed and sleep for days without waking. Her eyes felt heavy and were unbelievably sore.

"My name is Judith," she said to the woman, her eyes wandered over to the doorway of the room that Rhyldrin had disappeared into. "And well, I have known Rhyldrin for quite some time but we have only recently met again." Judith chewed on her lower lip, she wouldn't tell the woman everything about their past just a few details. She didn't want to talk too much and bore her. "I was quite the rebel when I was a child, I lived in the Light Elf capital and did as I pleased despite what my parents told me." she laughed then continued. "I use to go to the forest close by all the time, one day I bumped into a wounded Dark Elf, it was Rhyldrin. To be honest I think that I really annoyed him, I talked a lot and always asked questions. After I left I thought that I would never see him again because I thought that I had scared him off with my constant talking." Judith brought her eyes back to the woman, she hoped that she wasn't talking too much. "He wasn't there the first few days, but then I bumped into him again. He started showing up every now and then, we became friends. Though our friendship came to an abrupt halt when tension between the Dark and Light Elves began to rise, my parents stopped letting me out of the house. Then the war broke out and well..." she paused a little allowing herself to breath. "I never saw him again, well until the other day. I didn't even recognize him at first. It really surprised me when I realized that it was him." she seemed a little sad for a moment, Judith had always wondered if she would find Rhyldrin in the war.

"I'm sorry," Judith felt the need to apologize. She really did talk quite a bit, didn't she? She smiled weakly at the woman. "I do talk too much." she laughed maybe she should learn to talk less, but she hardly thought that was possible. She looked back over at the doorway that Rhyldrin gone through. "Rhyldrin what are you making?" she asked aloud, she had gone back to teasing the poor man like she had earlier today. Judith felt a bit more comfortable once the woman made it clear that she didn't dislike Light Elves and that she wasn't a threat.

"Huh?" Judith looked back at the woman with a confused expression, though that shortly changed into an almost embarrassed one. Her face burned and turned red from her question. She really didn't have to make what she had asked any clearer, Judith knew that she was asking if they were doing anything sexual. "No!" she said quickly, her voice was a bit higher than before. She had never thought of her and Rhyldrin being together like that.

If Judith were a balloon then she would have deflated when Neimi poked her. "I just-" she wondered if she could say anything to really defend herself. Now she was thinking about it, perhaps a little bit too deeply though she dismissed the thoughts quickly. Judith could never see herself being intimate with Rhyldrin, he probably didn't have such interests with her anyways. "I have never thought about that." she squeaked, her cheeks burned even more. Judith hoped that Rhyldrin had not heard that part of their conversation, her stomach felt knotted. "Trust me," she laughed a bit before she continued. "I could never think bad thoughts about Rhyldrin, only good." Judith didn't speak again after that, she didn't want to fuel the subject anymore.

Judith's ears dropped, Rhyldrin seemed quite irritated. "Well, I do know that he has quite the temper. He told me that he has it under control more now but..." she smiled at her, Judith wanted to change the subject though she wondered if Neimi would keep it going despite Judith bringing something else up. "When we were young he always seemed mad about something, he always wanted to teach someone a lesson and put them in their place." for a moment Judith drifted off into her own thoughts, she smiled remembering a few times where she had convinced Rhyldrin to calm down. "I think that I saved him quite a few times from getting in potentially dangerous situations."

Judith laughed and looked up at Rhyldrin who had poked his head into the room. "No one is alone forever, even those who tend to stray from others eventually accept someone else into their lives. At least..." she went a little quiet at the end of her sentence, deciding that she would say something else. "That's what I think at least, I couldn't imagine being alone forever anyways. It's nice to have company and someone to chat with." she smiled nervously.

Her ear's dropped as Neimi cut herself off. Judith looked at her for a moment, wondering if she should ask what she had intended to say and why it was so bad to say it but she kept that question to herself. "Don't worry about it," she said quietly afraid that Rhyldrin could possibly hear. "I won't ask questions or dig into his business, I understand that some things are better off left untouched." though she seemed alright with not knowing her curiosity would eventually get the best of her.

Judith flinched as Rhyldrin entered the room after he finished preparing them something to eat. She hesitated to speak at first, afraid that he could bite her head off for saying anything really. Though she really wanted to tease him she held her such an idea back for now at least. "Thank you," she said to him and smiled. Judith took the bowl and tilted her head as she curiously looked at what was inside of it. It looked a bit different but it did smell rather good. Even if it didn't smell good she would eat it anyways, Judith was starving.

When she had finished eating she placed the bowl on a small table by the side of the bed. "That wasn't too bad," she said and looked over at Neimi. "It was much better than what I can do, I'm a horrible cook." she let out a sigh, it was true. Judith had spent more time training with her bow and playing in the forest than learning how to cook and clean like most women did.

Judith had forgotten about the dragon up until he mentioned him, she felt guilty knowing that he could possibly be still hiding in her tent back at the camp. "When I was told to go see my brother I told him to hide and he ran under my bed. I went back to my tent after that but.." she fell silent for a moment, she remembered that she would have to deal with Uldric when she returned back to the camp. "I had to deal with something and after that I fled from my tent, my mind was all over the place and I didn't remember that the dragon was in my tent." she let out a heavy sigh, she felt bad for the poor dragon. Was he still hiding under her bed? She hoped that if anyone were to go into her tent that he would flee.

She smiled at him as she stood from the bed. "I don't have much energy to do such a thing and you know that I couldn't bring myself to do that to you," she approached Rhyldrin and stood very close to him. "You're going to make me bathe alone?" she pouted making herself appear upset. "That's a pity," Judith purred, she brought herself to the door way and lingered by it. "Then again maybe I don't want company." she threw her shoulders back shrugging a bit then disappeared into the room. Judith closed the door behind her.

Judith ran her fingers through her tangled hair for a moment then she brought it up making a messy bun on top of her head. "Why?" she asked aloud when Rhyldrin told her to watch how far she went with her teasing. "What are you going to do to me?" she asked her second question quietly wondering if she really wanted him to answer that anyways. If Rhyldrin tried anything she wouldn't know what to do really. It wouldn't surprise her though considering how she had been teasing him and pushing his buttons since earlier this morning. It wasn't as if she would mind though, she found it surprising when she realised she would be alright with him trying something. What are you thinking? she let out a heavy sigh and brushed some loose strands from her face.

Judith untied her boots and threw them beside the tub. She hesitated at first the undress but then allowed her trousers and shirt to fall to the ground with ease. Before climbing into the now warmed water she made sure that Rhyldrin wasn't going to surprise her by coming into the room. Judith stepped into the tub then sat down in it, the warm water made her sore body feel better. Her wound stung she washed herself, she cringed at the pain then continued seeing as she would have to tolerate it. It would heal soon then she wouldn't have to worry about feeling any pain.

When she was done she stepped out and dried herself with some towels, she wasn't sure if she was allowed to use them but Rhyldrin had not told her otherwise and he didn't tell her which ones to take. Once dried she put her clothes back on, it felt odd to be clean while wearing dirty clothes. She looked forward to wearing some clean clothes but not the other things that she was face once she returned to the camp.

She opened the door slowly and peeked her head out, when her eyes landed on Rhyldrin she smiled. He was sleeping or it at least seemed as if he was. Judith walked quietly to the bed, her hair was still up in a messy bun. She would leave it like that, sometimes it's length annoyed her. Judith left out a quiet sigh and fell into the bed. She wondered how long it would take her to fall asleep.
