[E] In their footsteps

Deciding to follow the tracks she attempts to keep an eye on her surroundings not wishing to step on any more critters hiding within the tall forest grass.
Perception 19

As I find the source of the tracks I approach the figure and intend to greet them.

[Bandit 14] The bandit is alone as far as you can tell and turns to greet Aeylin.
{the naïve ones are always the easiest} he thinks to himself.
The bandit makes a little bowing gesture, "How do you do, fair lady"

"Not as great as I would have hoped, I am unfamiliar with this region and am in search of my companions"

{Companions.. hmm.. it's just the two of us now..} "Is that so? And what would those companions of yours look like, are they centaurs such as yourself? Haven't seen those around recently as far as I recall.. but perhaps something shiney can help to refreshen my memory" [Bribe 16]

10 {Ugh seriously? Why am I sworn to be the nice 'guy'.. it seems I have **** but to persuade him somehow as he won't be giving information around freely.. just my luck that I brought no money with me, but they'd proberbly use a different currency regardless.} "Eh! No they aren't but I'm afraid I have no coin to pay for your humble offer, could you just point me in the right direction.. or give me a little hint?"

"NOPE. Pay up or you'll get it.. It's not like your friends are around now are they?"

"What? Oh goodness thank you, then I must seek them elsewhere!"

"W-What? T-That isn't part of our deal, don't you understand a treat lassy? YOU PAY or you PAY." You can see him pull the crossbow from his back with an arrow at the ready.

"B..but I..I mean you no harm, can't we just go our own ways? It seems to me that you don't have any friends either and I wouldn't want to waste a good arrow on you" She replies, bow at the ready herself.

"GGhhffh.. Fhine.. You are lucky this time! Just a tip lass.. free of charge. Don't trust people so quickly around these parts, they all have their own motives and desires and wouldn't much care for your pleas and preaches, nor would they care wether you want something or not.. Survival of the fittest you see. Now sod off before I change me mind!"
