Low gasps and pants left as the illness seemed to stop for now. Elise was honestly astounded Volke had
not shown up. In a way though, she was glad. As a new voice, however, hinted someone
had seen her, Elise's heart raced. Navy eyes slowly glanced over to see ... was this the same silver-haired girl Volke said would also need to be escorted along with Ike? Her head bowed politely as she kept her trenchcoat held closed, not wanting to flash the girl with her body. Her head shook no in response to the question.
"No, we haven't. Xersees. Well .... please keep addressing me by that. I know that's obviously not true but .... I'll explain it all to you later. Right now, I'm behind on even being ready to escort you and Ike to Ashera. So .... if you'll excuse me." Giving another polite bow of her head, she somewhat shakily stood up and began heading back into the tent. A low sigh left as she saw Volke not there; go figure. Then again, maybe bringing up the mere possibility would be smarter if they waited anyways. No sense getting him worked up over something that was merely a 'maybe' and not a 'yes' for sure.
Letting her trenchcoat slide off for now, she put the rest of her clothing on; bandages especially. She chuckled lowly, remembering how he'd untied them not long after finished the knot and then began fondling --- wait. She stopped herself from dwelling anymore on last night, lest she get too aroused and give away her guise. Goddamn, this whole thing was getting annoying as hell. It was then she made a silent vow with herself.
Maybe ... if by the time I get a confirmation - positive or negative - I can tell the rest of the Mercenaries. They deserve to know .... especially Ike and Soren. Ike for the obvious reason of him leading this entire brigade and she felt horrid on having lied to Soren. It
had been him who saved her from that creepy Duke character, after all. The least she could do was give him the truth.
But she wanted to ensure the same sensations were avoided with all here like they had been with the enemies, especially of Begnion. A few seemed eccentric at worst ... but not judgmental. And it made her feel good on the idea of eventually revealling her true name to them later. As she pulled a new non-midriff tunic over herself, the trenchcoat went back over her. She felt the pockets, ensuring all of the daggers were there including the odd crimson one that Volke had tossed her to aid out with the dragon.
And finally, the veil went over her lips. Tying it tightly enough, she then walked out of the tent and towards where Ike was supposed to be; the most likely location where Volke was. Her head bowed lightly to both men and she made sure to get into the mindset of Xersees first before spoeaking up.
"Sorry about that. I hope I haven't kept you two waiting too long." Her eyes slowly glanced around, wondering if Micaiah had managed to meet up here or not yet. If not ... she would have to hint to them where they needed to go to find her.
