“... so let's go around and introduce ourselves and what we all bring to the table."
She shifted uncomfortably as the group tightened together, eyes bouncing back and forth between each other. Hesitance drifted in the air before Andromeda's voice broke the silence with a sharp sting. Ethereal watched Andromeda's confidence boom through the crowd, but found her threats solemnly dwindle among the bloody rips of her wedding dress. Ethereal laughed sadly at her aggression, the coldness of her tone and rashness of her words reminding her of a small broken child. It was doubtful anyone other than Vox could help stitch up her wounds, but no one but her would ever be able to help with the scars.
"Half. I'm half-orc. Name is Shuza. ..."
Her thoughts were quickly interrupted. She looked up at the towering woman nearby, admiring the orcs steady build and open loyalty towards her god. She could sense the mistrust, but that was everywhere, in everyone. It was unsettling to think that a group smothered in suspicion would be the source of Vales freedom. Yet, it was a relief that Vale had a group willing to do something at all.
Ethereal brushed her dress off briefly before relaxing her hands upon each other. "My name is Elysian, although you may one day encounter others who recognize me as Ethereal." She smiled invitingly, hoping to instill some feelings of peace in her stature. "I am also capable of an array of healing and cleric abilities, although they are not yet that impressive. To make up for it, I can hold myself up during a quarrel using a variety of magic that I hope to assist you with - but please heed my caution. I will fight with and for all of you, but I will do everything in my power to avoid killing anything. If you choose to land the final blow, that may be your choice." She glanced at Vox. "Nature knows me well, and it has never been my purpose to live in order to take without consequence."
