It was hard find a partner who could keep up the pace of such a fast paced song but Elehna had found her partner. Just like the last time they had danced to it, they spun, twirled and danced Admittedly, it was a little harder that time due to her not being used to her new type of outfit, but Theodin helped her as they danced, celebrating.

At the end of the song, Elehna chuckled with happiness, pulling Theodin out of the middle as another song was sung and others danced once again. It had been the first time in days that the young queen had genuinely laughed, feeling happy. Of course, she was sure that her happiness wouldn't last long- it never did nowadays, but she enjoyed the feeling for the time being.

"Yet again, Theodin, you surprise me." She said with a grin, moving through the crowd of people with him to see Ildhrenion, Raina and Locien. Celebrating was all good, but they did need to press on. The longer they stayed to celebrate, the more chance something terrible would happen. "Ildhrenion, I'm surprised you are not in the middle of it all, celebrating." Elehna commented kindly in a gentle tone, a smile across her face. "You fought well." She added, nodding her head in respect.

"I feel we have hopefully gained the trust of at least these villagers and we can only hope our names and faces shall be spoken of and passed through other villages - good words and stories." Elehna said, mainly to Ildhrenion as she looked over to Locien and Raina who were still caught up in their little moment. Smiling, she gestured for them to approach closer so they could hear her words and also so she could ask Locien of his grandfather.

"The longer we stay put, the more risk we have of losing Morlay for good. We need these people's help - We need a lot of help. Locien, you say you wish to see your grandfather? Do you know where he is? And what would be the most suitable method of transport? I'm sure these good people would give us horses if need be." She paused for a moment, looking up at Theodin as if to ask him if what she was saying was right. All she needed was a look of reassurance to put her at ease. It was different being in charge rather than being 'the Princess.' - She didn't exactly see herself as in charge; she saw all her friends as equals who had a right to put an input of even decide for themselves... but without her Father, she wasn't told what to do anymore. It certainly was different.
