Ellaraine had been entirely silent, looking up at the strange and, oddly smelly, human as he spoke. Her sage eyes were focused, and responded with a blank stare as he spoke. Both of her hands wrapped loosely around her staff as it was pegged slightly into the dirt.
Once he had concluded, Ellaraine strongly considered taking the man's advice and just strolling away... but something kept her there, and caused her eyes to narrow and the tip of her left ear to twitch. "Ellaraine. My name is Ellaraine. As for your little... plight, I'll call it, I don't think I'm to be much use. I'm a druid, not a warrior. And certainly not a councilman. I've spent more time in the forest than I have any city on the continent."
The Pale Elf's voice was calm, and held a captivation to it, despite the fact that her words were far from respectful. "I can offer you my advice, human, if that is what you wish... other than that, I think you should see your own kind."

The pale-haired elf merely rolled her eyes again as the human, Shunsui, he had called himself, tried to explain himself further. Ellaraine didn't much care for excuses. Or humans. Or people. And excuses were never really a favorite of her's. When the drunk human offered her food, the woman shook her head very slightly.
"I've never accepted a morsel of food from anyone, human. It isn't how I was raised." Her tone wasn't cold, just blank and devoid of real feeling. Another of Ellaraine's particularly rude-sounding habits was showing itself; just because she knew someone's name didn't mean she would call them by it. "And all my wandering has kept me rather healthy. I might only be in my sixty-third year of life, but my lifestyle will carry me through to a comfortable five-hundred years more..."
Ellaraine motioned with her hand to the path ahead of them. "If we're going to walk, we should probably start walking... or, in your case, stumbling." She didn't bother waiting for Shunsui's reaction, and simply began to carry forward at a slow, unhurried pace.

Pale yellow eyes winced as they met the light of day- luckily it was dimmed by clouds rolling overhead, but he frowned as he ducked under the doorway as he exited. That feeding had taken longer than he'd thought; this particular victim had been having nightmares for some time before he got here. The poor fool was about as paranoid as they come, and that made getting any real strong emotions out of him a chore. As evidenced by it taking him until midday to satisfy his hunger. With a sigh, The Hunter pulled his hood over his face and stalked off into the nearby forest. The cool shadows embraced him as a lover would, and the barest hint of a smile played the edge of his lips as the brush and bramble crunched underfoot. When he heard voices nearby, the crunching was silenced immediately; until he knew just who he was nearing, he wasn't about to do anything brash. Especially considering it was daylight; when the sun set, he may have been less cautious. But in the light, all bets were off; he approached them slowly, close enough to identify. A male and female. Not particularly pleased with each other. Recent acquaintances. Safe enough, he supposed.
Perhaps he'd even make 'friends' with the mortals. They might serve some use to him; with the oncoming hostilities, having daytime protectors didn't seem like such a bad idea. He approached the two with the intent on discerning whether or not they'd serve his purposes; should they prove agreeable and malleable enough, he'd stick around. He didn't approach from behind, as he'd been following, however; he circled around in front of them, and stepped onto the path. He walked the same direction as them, but slower; they'd catch up to him in a few moments, and that's when they'd first encounter each other face-to-face. It'd be interesting.

As The Hunter turned to face the voice, his yellow eyes flashed and faded suddenly; one would be hard-pressed to tell what had happened at all. "A demon, you say?" He whispered, a small grin revealing pointed teeth. "Residual effects, I'm sure. I was recently in contact with one- not of my own doing, I assure you. A colleague of mine, recently met... He brought forth a monster from the Void, and loosed it on a nearby village. Fortunately I was there to put an end to it," he lied smoothly, suppressing his naturally dark flair; while it would still reek of malicious intent and death, he would resemble more of an evil human than a demon.
Blinking back another flash of his eyes, an inauspicious gaze swept across the company. The girl was an elf, although of different descent than his own body; the other figure was a human. Intoxicated, from the smell of it. His nose wrinkled up in disgust at the man, frowning. All mortals were rather pitiful, of course, but drunk ones were by far the worst. He sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose before swallowing his thoughts on the man and nodding. "What brings a pair like you so close to the borders? Wandering so close to Tribunal territory could be... Dangerous." As the final word slipped past his lips, his eyes flashed once more. The girl, she was strange. Able to sense his own aura, even with his precautions. Obviously versed in the arcane to that extent, she would indeed prove useful during the daylight hours. This man, however, the drunk one... They'd have to see about that.
