Seeing his embarassment she frowned. She did not mean to embarass him. It seemed that she had a chip on her shoulder this night. Perhaps it was because she read the letter and knew that her father thought of her as a scandale that he wished never happened. " I am sorry Valan. I do not mean to be so harsh. I am pleased that I have met you, and I am grateful that you came. At least I do have closure about whom my father is. Even if he did not want me. I am used to being unwanted." She said with a shrug of her shoulders.
Worried about his own hide. For the love of the gods people are suffering, and all he can think of is himself. We are as different as night and day.
Hearing her brother she just shook her head. Elmayria would not be swayed by his refusal to help. She too heard the voice of the young girl. The soldier set off on his own, and she knew that he was on his own. With a little smile she handed the leash that Arria was tethered on to Valan. " You shovel, I am going to help the soldier. He will not be able to save the person on his own. This is who I am brother. I help when I can and if I get something in return well that sweetens the deal, but this is who I am."
With out waiting for a reply she quickly followed the soldier. Seeing the little girl in the burning building she frowned. Standing beside the soldier whom was looking up. " Well what is our move." If he looked at her with surpise or tried to hault her request to help him, she raised a hand. " Their is no way sir that you can save her on your own." Looking around and seeing no one. "And I am all you have. I am not afraid. So what do you wish for me to do?"
