Ialu took in the information, unable to piece it together. Over all, he felt a sudden stab of anger. As a child, he had never known his own father. His mother had raised him alone as long as he could before being forced to marry another man. That was when everything had gone badly. His mother died and Ialu was sold into slavery. He stood up, bristling, "Elves..." He shook his head, "In my culture, it is important to have a father. He is the one who will eventually train his sons to take over his craft. These elves, leaving women behind to survive on their own with a child... It's shameful, in my opinion. My father left before I was born, and I became a slave because it. I can't glorify any person, elf or not, that would do such a thing." He dusted off his pants, gathering his loose black hair at the nape of his neck to tie it. He glanced to Eladrian, emotionally cut off and not knowing how to address him, with the elf acting so secretive. He walked over to Mkhai, where all of their bags were attached, taking out some of his medical kits, "Is your ankle okay, Amal?"

Under the mask, Eladrian was brisling as well, how dare he, he thought, not all of the elves that travled down here are so callous. My foot is alright, just a bit sore, but I can walk." Amal said, checking his animal for any injuries and to check it's gear. "It looks like I'm joining you to Odessa, I have to get a job and raise enough gold to finish my journy from there." He sighed. "You guys dont mind right?" Eladrian frowned and nodded.
Amal truned around to mount hs camel, he had already figured out that the masked master was an eldren, from the way he spoke and stood, 'He's a youngling from the looks of things, if he stuided a bit more, a master of any house woud not have let me speak to him in that way'

Ialu mounted Sadiki, "You are welcome with us, Amal, as far as I am concerned. I consider myself lucky just to be traversing this desert to a new land. As long as you don't steal from us or try to harm us, we will spare all we can to help you..." The stallion beneath him bristled and stepped ahead a few steps, anxious to keep moving, it seemed. Ialu for a moment, wondered why, but he ignored it, "Amal, do you need time to rest? My companion and I have been travelling through the night, and while we still have energy, we could certainly take a break. Either way, knowing this land myself, we should stop at midday and rest during the heat of the day. Travelling at night is safer."

Ialu had rode beside Amal, finding the other man open and interesting. As it was, Eladrian's secretive mood was beginning to irk Ialu, who was open and honest with every person he met. And a closed-up, stuck-up elf wasn't good company. He listened intently to this strange man, soaking in the words like a sponge. But at last, he had to laugh. He shook his head, "They are upset that they aren't mystical? Humans had very little grasp on magic before the elven magic began to leak down." He glanced toward the horizon, "I don't know much about elves. If anything, their secrecy is what angers me... The sense of superiority... Even if they are superior, the way they treat humans-..." he shook his head, looking back to Amal, "No, I believe they are quite mystical..." he grumbled, "Too much for their own good, if you ask me."

Ialu tried not to roll his eyes, finding this whole game to be a little tiring. He didn't quite know why Eladrian was being so secretive. He had official reasons to be this far south, and Amal had never even met an elf before. What harm was this stranger?
He finally met Amal's eyes, "I've met elves. I've been a sex slave most of my life before my benefactor-..." He glanced to Eladrian, quickly pulling the lie from then air, "-bought me, and set me free. We travel together now. But I served the courts of many nobles. Rogue elves were uncommon, but I did see a few coming to greet my masters and mistresses. Their powers are true, but it doesn't make them infallible. Maybe that is the disconnect." He glanced to Eladrian, "The thought that their powers make them, well.... perfect..."
He looked back to Amal, changing the subject, "So what's your story? Do you have an occupation?"

Ialu rolled his eyes, "Well, you did a terrible job with me. If we have to keep this scribe with us, which we should, then I want you to give me reasons to give him for your secrecy, in case it comes up. Otherwise, I'll make something up and you might not like it." He sighed, wanting to sink into Eladrian's arms. But he knew they were being watched. He gazed towards the horizon, "Perhaps we'll say you are a monk, and as such, you have no identity any longer. You hide your face in modesty and shame for past transgressions..." He watched Eladrian's eyes, trying to figure out why Amal was such a threat. Surely, Eladrian was lying to him.
