Alae's mouth drew to one side, and she caught Alaerth looking back at her with a raised eyebrow. 'If you want me to deal with him, I will', was what the look said. Alae shook her head and he continued forward, breaking into the clearing.

"Xvim, if you would follow my brother into the clearing, I will be there shortly." She said, not taking her eyes off her cousin. She waited until the kreen plus Gus and Ivan were behind the trees in the camp before turning Star Shadow left and walking her out of the woods at a right angle to the camp site, "Follow me."

When Arlyth caught up with her, Alae sat facing him, hands folded across the horn of her saddle, against the sheer cliff that marked the end of Avalon's forest. A broad plain expanded out from the trees, marking the end of castle property. There was still light, dull though it was.

"I'm speaking to you now to save you trouble, little cousin, and to give you a warning." She turned her silver eyes from him briefly to look out at the horizon. When they came back, they were still silver, but hard, "Alaerth and I told you that if you wanted to come with us, you would have to behave. Be wise in what you do and say." She leaned forward in her seat, "There are certain values I hold in my heart. One is to be true to my allies. You are traveling with Alaerth and I, by your own will. You are threatening allies that we decided were safe to bring in the party, simply because of what they are, not who they are." She straightened, "I am giving you two choices, Arlyth. One, get over yourself and your antipathy to the kreen who lost everything she had to drow. Respect my brother, for he is the guiding light in this mission. It angers me that you anger him. Your other choice is to leave. We cannot have you snarling at everyone, wanting things done your way, and certainly not drawing your blades on ones who would help you. I love you little cousin, but I won't let you bring this party to chaos." Her calm silver eyes returned to the horizon. She seemed to be watching something far off.
