Silvara enters the glade and wades in between the two dangerous combatants, holding her hands up, without a care in the world. Even in her elven form she is still, after all, a dragon and perfect hits by both warriors in unison would do little to harm her. Shandara, seeing her approach, stops on que. Enthrawled in the battle, Thorin skids to a halt in full swing, barely able to avoid hitting her. "Were you going to hit me with that?" Silvara asks, looking at Thorins spiked axe hovering over her head. "I would never hit a woman"..."I was going to hit her" Thorin replies, unaware of the paradox of his statement. "Is your head as thick as your bicep?"..."Did you hear what you just said? Silvara asks him." shaking her head. "Is that why you're here?"..."To save your friend?" Thorin replies, attempting to sidestep his previous blunder. "To save her from you?"..."Oh that is rich" Silvara smiles. Thorin glares at Shandara, but does take a moment to consider the fact that she is standing there, calm, in an almost reptillian sort of way, while he is breathing like he just took place in the "running of the bulls". "How many times has she hit you with the flat of her blades?" Silvara asks him evenly. "A few, but she was off balance" Thorin replies defensively. "I see" Silvara adds, raising her brows, as if enlightened by his response. Through all of this Shandara stands emotionless, listening attentively. "Well, enough pleasantries"..."Shandara, I would like you to meet Thorin son of Boromear" Silvara states looking at Shandara. "And Thorin, I would like to introduce you to Shandara"...You're new teacher" Silvara continues, looking up at Thorin for the responce both females know will follow. "My what?"..."You must be kidding". Thorin roars. "I'm not sure what Shandaras curriculum will be, but I would imagine your first lesson will be in humility."..."With that, I'll take my leave and allow you two a while to get better aquainted" Silvara replies. Grinning to Shandara, then glancing up to take note of Thorins expression of total confusion, Silvara walks back into the woods. To be continued... Enjoy, -Arakas
