A breeze shuffled her dress and hair. Watching the faint figures moved, she could make out a masculine outline. Frustration hit home- it wasn't very often that men were found to be full of goodness and purity. This is typically due to that they are more susceptible to sin. There were temptations all around them; whores, their strength, money, and promise of eternal damnation already. The likely hood that this man would be sufficient enough for Him was not high.

Standing on her toes, Celestia attempted to peer through the trees, in search of the woman's voice she heard. At that moment she could hear the shuffling of feet that weren't her own. Flash of metal against the sun brought her immediate attention to the weapon that accompanied him. Her golden pools stayed fixed on it, a shot of fear lingering in them. Looking up at the man, her eyes lingered upon every feature. It was true, what she thought before, He would not be happy with this bit. The man standing before her served Verden. A few things gave this away. First being, the way he held himself. He was most definitely a soldier. No soldier of Dalen would hold themselves in that matter- most of them truly thought they were better than most. Second being, a Dalen soldier would be wearing his armor. If a soldier wasn't, then he would be hiding. Why would a Dalen soldier need to hide?

Taking two steps away from the man that entered her view, her hands clutched at her bag as if he would steal from her. With wild eyes she scanned their surroundings, her heart beating fast. "I mean no harm." The pleasant tone of her voice was shadowed with shakiness. "I- I- I was just passing by." Swallowing hard, her hands released the bag and came up slightly in a sign of surrender. One hand went up to push a strand of red hair out of her face. The cream, filth stained dress clung to her figure but relaxed at the waist. The sleeves came down to just above her elbow, with small leather laceings on the side. Her neckline came to just below her collarbone, her dress slightly open at the top to reveal only a small portion of her chest- nothing revealing by any means.
