The young elf was stopped as a large hand gripped his shoulder painfully,
"Stop it now." Alaerth growled, "I do not know what you said, but your intentions are clear enough. Lay a finger or blade on her, and I'll be very angry." His eyes glowed; he was starting to lose his temper again, "Do I make myself clear?"
Alae had crossed her arms dissaprovingly at Arlyth's behaviour, her mouth pulled to one side, while the smirk had reappered on Alliene's face. The drow turned to Xvim,
"You must forgive the child, Xvim. Despite what he says, he commands nothing but the alpha male's ire, as you can surely see."
Alaerth snorted and released Arlyth, whistling for the horses. They came rustling through the brush, led by Alliene's gelding. Alaerth mounted, Alae and Alliene following his lead. The half dragon looked down at Arlyth,
"If what Alliene said is true, then I am dissapointed. Out here, you are no better than anyone else, and therefore, have no right to order anyone around, our allies least of all." He turned his horse and trotted off north, Alliene following.
"I really wish you would not provoke my brother so, little cousin." Alae told him as he mounted his stallion, "You would not like him angry. Or me, for that matter. Remember what we told you about your attitude on this journey." She turned Star Shadow to the gnome and Gus, "You may ride with Gus, if it pleases you, or you can walk, if you can keep up." She turned her mare north and started her forward, "Walk up next to me please, Xvim? It seems my aunty has picked up your language. I would have her teach it to me so that you and I may converse."
