 [ A beautiful elf maiden's face appears on the feed. She has a delicate appearance, but from all the grime, dirt and blood marring her features, it's obvious that she's far from defenseless. The video is shaky because the hand holding it is trembling in fear. She's wearing a firm, authoritative expression however -- the expression of a no-nonsense General.  ]

My name is Laurana. We can exchange pleasantries when this place is safe.

I've noticed competent men and women took up arms to keep them off, but what about people that need help? Is there a closed, walled off space where non-combatants and children could be safe? I will volunteer to keep such a place together. All I ask is cooperation, especially from healers and people that know how to fight.

If there is one already, then I would like to help as much as I can. Another bow to the numbers helps.

[ When she's done, she gives a polite nod and the feed goes off. ]

Your mate!

[ DO DRACONIANS EVEN ]

[ ...Well, of course they do, Laurana. She blushes a bit because of the possibly rude outcry. ]

W-what I mean is, if it's possible you would get hurt in the flurry, then you need not come to my aid. Stay safe, Governor.

[His smile is genuinely fond as he lowers his hand.]

It's a long story, better suited for less dangerous times.

[And then, he snorts softly, definitely amused. It's extremely rare for other races, especially elves, to say such things and not be mocking about it.]

While I appreciate your concern for me, fear of injury has never dissuaded a draconian from battle before. I will join you.

We could talk about it another time.

[ Normally, she would just say that out of politeness' sake but... she is curious. ]

Thank you. I appreciate the assistance. [ Insert her location here. ]

[governorkang]

Of course.

[Even at his point of the timeline, it's not commonly known that females exist. It's only a rumor in several areas.]

I'm on my way.
