The young man she was meant to be meeting was only a few inches taller than Nina, an hood covering his hair and eyes that she couldn’t quite make out the color of in the firelight. What she did see was the way he leapt away from the fire elemental, hand going to the blade at his hip. Nina, used to her companion’s antics, was unbothered, offering only a withering glance at the fire sprite, who was quit unrepentant in turn.
At least the stranger seemed friendly enough, despite the rude introduction. ”I am Nina,” she said, holding out a hand politely. ”That is Ember. We are here to look for celestial materials for Safrin.” She paused then, looking around. In truth, she knew little of Safrin and what the goddess might like, so she was quite hopeful that her partner in this task would have some ideas. ”Are we looking for anything in particular?”
