He followed, seemingly picking up the idea quickly. She sat on the steps outside the sanctuary. She watched him approach, a vast difference from the hunter before. Her goal in her teaching had been mostly to make sure he reminded himself that he was human. That besides the basics of the dream. He already seemed less grim and had a sense of humor.
Ari’s jibe was just that - a jibe, but he had made an assumption. She wanted to know why. ”You assume that I’m not a devotee of the Brotherhood, Waiting Cobra, was it? How do you know this? Perhaps I picked this location for that reason. Perhaps you just insulted my faith.”
Elyse wasn’t a follower of the Brotherhood, but assumptions were dangerous. ”Im not and you didn’t insult me, but it’s safer to not do so. Anyone could be a friend - or an enemy. I’d still like to know how you came to your assumption that I wasn’t a member, but I advise caution. Especially since I’m usually pretty bad at it.”
A lack of caution had gotten her in trouble with her father. Had she kept her secret, her parents would still be alive. But she’d still be hiding. She didn’t regret her decision, but it didn’t mean she still didn’t question whether it was right.
”Another lesson - if you’re here dreaming, you’re not sleeping - at least not as well. Spending too much time here will exhaust you. Get some real sleep sometimes. Allow your body and mind to rest.” She sighed and stifled a yawn. ”Woth that said, I do have a job and need to get some real sleep. Practice is good. The wolves are also a good resource for learning. They’re experts here, and are usually willing to impart some knowledge. They’ll also be better at telling you how to get out - I just sort of do it. But remember, you’re human, and to get rest.” she smirked. ”Good to meet you Ari the Waiting Cobra of Istanbul.”
[[OoC: She hasn’t left yet so you can feel free to interact with her more. She’ll wait around for a bit, but you may mod her leaving if you don’t have anything for her]]
