Judith chewed on her lower lip nervously. She was silent after he said that he wanted to kill her own kind and her own brother. She didn't really know how to feel about that and she didn't know what to say. "I understand your need for revenge," she said softly. "But don't allow it to blind you, Rhyldrin." her mind felt as if it was all over the place. "If you want nothing more than to kill my kind then why didn't you kill me? Why not kill me now?" she asked, Judith's eyes met his and she didn't look away. "You have some good in you, everyone does but you just refuse to see that." she almost whispered her last sentence, she seemed upset.

"At first you were just another Dark Elf," she said and let out a sigh. "I would have killed you without hesitation to be honest, you brought a blade to my neck and I saw you as a threat. When I had shot my arrow at you I had intended for it to be a fatal shot or at least to knock you down. If you were still alive I would have just shot again or if you were on the ground I would have used my dagger. Either way, when I saw you I wanted you dead." she looked away from him, she seemed a little uncomfortable. "Maybe the Goddesses didn't want you to end my life and didn't want me to end your life. Who knows? I was actually surprised when you decided to take your blade away from my neck. I thought that you were tricking me, I was ready to protect myself if you went back on your word." she brought her eyes back to him and smiled weakly. "It's funny, some how when you told me that you wouldn't harm me if I didn't harm you, I felt as if I could trust you. Like I could trust someone that I had known for quite some time. That's why I dropped my weapon and agreed not to do you any harm."

Judith wondered what she could possibly say to him, he was afraid of getting close to her. She found that sad in a way. "It seems as if you're afraid to get close to anyone." her smile disappeared, she seemed serious now. "You live alone, you don't come home for months... you don't like to speak to your own kind, even if you can't trust them you don't even seem interested in the ones who care about you. Don't you ever feel lonely?"

"I know that I can't stay here, I know that it would cause you more problems than you really need and it would also cause me problems. I know that that can never happen, don't worry about it too much." she paused allowing herself to breath. "I'm not going to try to convince you to let me stay, it just can't happen and that's that." she laughed quietly then smiled at Rhyldrin finally. "I'm sorry that I'm tormenting you, I'll stop if you don't like the teasing."
