Auriel watched him closely as he seemed to mill over her words. She hoped what she had said had calmed him some. She found herself wanting this creature to trust her, though she wasn't positive why she wanted that.

He then asked if she had a name and she giggled a little. "Well of course I have a name, my mother have me the name Auriel when I was born and that's what I go by." She have him a smile, but she could tell he was having difficulty with something. It then dawned on her that her appearance may frighten him. He almost had difficulty looking her in the eye and she but her lip.

"Does my appearance frighten you?" She asked softly and grew silent for a moment. "Perhaps this form may be more pleasing." She said as she began to shift into one of his species. Her skin became a pale peach color and her horns disappeared. Her hair became a light brown and her eyes changed from that chilling red into a warm brown color. Her lips became a warm rosy pink color and her features just softened all around. She watched him carefully for his reaction, hoping this would make things easier.

"Do you also have a name? That's my first question for you." She asked as she kept eye contact with him. "I am also aware that your situation is not preferable, but if it makes you feel any better I will do all I can to make sure you are released unharmed. That is a promise and may the gods punish me if I break that promise." She continued as she kept eye contact with him.

(I am so incredibly sorry this took me so long! I ended up going on vacation to Disneyland last week and couldn't get on at all. I kept trying to send you a PM, but every time I got interrupted or my internet crashed. Please forgive me!)
