Draydis Quinn D`Anorre wrote:Dray nodded as those that he spoke with began to tend to other matters and conversations. He looked about the room, curious if any others that he recognized would be present...
It was then that he saw Thrandil talking with no other than Raevyn.
Craghley, if he was looking at Draydis, could clearly tell that a brief moment of anger crossed the guardsman's face. "What is that evil bitch doing here?" the words were low and hushed, such that only Craghley could hear them.
It was then that Dray saw Ulder standing alone. He had been talking with Thran and Penth, so the adhiel warrior thought it best to go introduce himself instead of going over to slay Raevyn where she stood.
"I am going to go meet this man that Thrandil and Penth were talking with a bit ago. I think it's best for me to avoid a fight in this place. Steer clear of that one...she is pure evil." The words were whispered to Craghley.
He waited a few moments to let the emotions leave his mind and face, and smiled as he approached Ulder. "Good sir. I noticed you speaking with Thrandil and Penth earlier. I apologize for not joining you, but I had to meet a friend that I haven't seen in a long time."
It wasn't exactly the truth, but Draydis figured that telling Ulder that he wanted to speak with Ashtallion because he had only met the mage in his dreams before would sound very odd.
"I am Draydis Quinn D'Anorre of the Emerald Guard. I was formerly the Commander, but have worked with my brother, Thrandil, to reform the Guard out of the ashes of Taquar. My command is that of military warfare and the elite holy warriors of the Mother."
He gave Ulder a slight bow of respect and waited for his reply...
Ulder's gaze took his eyes from the room and to the figure that approached him. Ulder had some measure of experience with the Emerald Guard long before this day, but the Adhiel that stood before him was certainly unique. He took in the measure of the Commander and sketched a quick bow of respect in return.
"Commander. I am Ulder Synkaaros. It is a pleasure to meet you sir. I have indeed spoken with your brother and he is a fine leader, as I'm sure you are. When he told me briefly of your mission, I was certainly impressed with its gravity and importance. If I can be of any assistance, please let me know, and I will certainly do what I am able. Blademaster Theorn was a treasured friend of mine a long time ago, and his advice and counsel still linger in me to this day. His companions are my companions and it shall ever be so."
