Arialla nodded at Evie's words. It was good to have a more experienced individual confirm her instinct to flee. "I might just take you up on that. I was thinking of going to Torchline -- I like it there. It reminds me of home. I might move there full-time if ..."
If I can't leave Caido, she'd been about to say, but she didn't want to mention her quest in front of yet another person who would surely just tell her it was impossible. Instead she finished on a lighter note: "But as long as I'm here, I might as well lend a hand with the preparations."
And a hand Arialla certainly lent. She was proud to see how much snow she cleared with her efforts, though Evie's fall concerned her. "Are you all right?"
Watching the others, Arialla couldn't help but stare a little at Lily's transformation, though she tried not to be obvious or rude about it. From the others' lack of reaction, this was clearly commonplace in Caido, as were many things Arialla never would have expected to see at home. Arialla's attention certainly wasn't judgmental, simply surprised.
With the snow-clearing finished, Arialla turned her attention to setting out the hay Evie had brought. Since she hadn't known what to expect from the luxere luring, she hadn't brought any supplies of her own.
