The male grinned at her name, he seemed to like the way it sounded. "Azalea. That's a very beautiful name, my dear. Who gave it to you? Your mother or father? Or might you be one of those who name themselves?" She smiled, the action barely showing up on her face, only enough so to lighten her eyes. "Thank you. It was given to me by my mother, she's a healer so she has a passion for plants of all sorts." He then seemed a bit amused by her reaction to his name though the meaning behind it was all there. He was a stranger so she knew nothing about him and his name was a not a good word, at least not by most vocabularies. "Yes, greed is something that is seen as bad.

Azalea snorted, his words sparking the fire in her needed to get past her sudden caution, "I am rarely confused and if I were I would not tell you." She stood up now, moving closer toward him, looking him over. "So, you're a rogue? I'm not, but I'm sure I didn't have to tell you that. I'm from Valhalla. Are you from the region or somewhere else?" Her words were rapid fire, not waiting for him to answer her first question, which was rhetorical. Speech, |
