"Judith, what are you doing here?" her brother barked, he always found a reason or two to pick on his sister. Brishen stood straight, his shoulders back and he looked displeased as always. If something wasn't perfect or at least the way he wanted it then he wasn't happy. Though even if things were as he wanted them he still always seemed displeased. Judith couldn't remember the last time she had seem her brother smile, even as children he was always sour. "What does it look like I'm doing?" she asked him, she seemed to be mocking him. Brishen narrowed his eyes and looked over his sister. "Nothing, that's what it looks like. This is the second day that I have heard of you acting strangely, what is causing this behaviour?" Judith hesitated to speak, she really didn't know how to answer that other than telling him the truth. "I'm not acting any different than I usually do, you must be seeing something that isn't there." she laughed quietly to herself. "I can't stay around and chat for much longer, I have to watch for Dark Elves." As Judith turned to leave her brother took hold of her wrist tightly. "I swear, Judith." he hissed under his breath. "If I find out that you're lying-" Judith pulled her hand away from his. "I'm not lying, you can leave me alone now." Judith walked away from her brother, though she avoided the direction that the Dark Elf had gone. She could feel her brother's eyes on her, if looks could kill then she would certainly be dead right now.

Judith finally turned once she had walked far enough from her brother, her eyes wandered over the surrounding area making sure that he was gone and had not been following her. She was thankful that he had not followed her because he could really hurt her if he wanted to. He wouldn't even hesitate to do so once he found a good reason to. Judith let out a sigh, relieved that she was finally alone. Except for she really wasn't alone, she had nearly forgotten about the little dragon that she had hid in her pocket. She reached a hand inside on her and smiled when she felt the little dragon nuzzling himself against her hand. She wrapped her fingers around him carefully and took him out. "You're not that bad," she said to him then brought him to her shoulder, when he perched himself upon it she tickled under his chin. "You just want some love, don't you?" she mumbled as she continued to spoil him with attention. "I'm going to keep you," she laughed quietly when the little dragon cooed happily. "Though you have to be quiet and behave, I don't want anyone else to know that I have you." Judith brought her hand away from the little dragon and he chirped happily.

How am I going to keep you? Judith thought let out a sigh. I will have to hide you under my bed or bring you with me whenever I leave. I wouldn't want you sneaking out to follow me then one of the other Light Elves capture you. I will have to train you and feed you, what have I gotten myself into? Judith's eyes wandered over the forest, she wondered if that Dark Elf was following her, perhaps he had been the entire time. If he was and if he decided to try something then he would get a nasty surprise. Judith wouldn't allow him to get an upper hand, even if he had a knife to her throat again she would find a way to get out of such a situation.
