[Areka D'Rinishad]

Areka had slowed her horse to a stop. She looked on the two elves before her and listened as Serion and Faust spoke. She had to admit she was a little surprised the way Serion was handling the situation but now understood what Faust had been trying to tell her all along about Serion.

Listening the to the guards' replies she was pleased that no exchange of arms would be dealt here and now. As it looked they would be entering the city once and for all she reached her hands back to replace her hood over head. She would not be able to enjoy the pleasure of the sun upon her face in the wide open city. In making the movement to cover her eyes so they were protected from the harshness of sun she remembered the ring the Matron of House Vhileraen had sent to her with the messenger. It had been on her finger for a couple of months and she usually forgot it was there. Thinking it might not be such a good idea to have the ring upon her finger in the town she made sure the guards were not watching and quickly slipped of and placed it into a side pocket insider her clock.

All seemed well and she waited for Serion to make his move before following the female guard inside the city.
