And here's a little more:
Leanadas stayed silent, her eyes staring out across the torrent as she tried to sort through her thoughts. Why had she pulled him from certain death? She would have been saved a great deal of trouble if she had let him fall. On the other side of the outcrop, the night elf sighed and pulled himself to his feet. With several quick steps, he reached her side.
"Surely it's not that hard a question?" He hunkered down beside her and half extended a hand toward her. "Why did you not let that flood kill me?"
"I don't know." She snarled back at him, her eyes snapping to his with an intensity that made him pull back. "For a moment I forgot you were trying to kill me, for a moment, you were someone that I couldn't allow to die like that. Why is it so important to you?"
He expelled a long breath, holding her gaze. "because I don't like mysteries. And it's a mystery that you would save my life. I would have killed you down there on the valley floor. I would not have spared you, however you pulled me to safety. I don't know if I would have done the same." His voice trailed off and he stared at the ground. "I could have understood you leaving me to drown, but I didn't expect you to save me."
Silence followed his words and she stared across at him. "I didn't act according to your expectations and that bothers you?"
"That's not it." He whispered, his voice barely audible above the rushing water. "I don't know if..." He swallowed and got to his feet. "If I would have saved you if I reached the top first."
"And you're concerned that you're not the good little Alliance soldier that you thought you were?" Her voice cracked across the clearing as she got to her feet and walked towards him. "If it's pressing your conscience that badly, I can kill you and bring things back to an even keel." She stopped just shy of him and stared up at his face with a mocking grin on her lips. "At the very least I'd get some peace."
"Do you have a answer for everything?" A small twinge of a smile brushed the corners of his mouth.
"Not everything, just for annoying Night Elves who don't know when to accept a turn of good fortune and shut up." She kicked a small pebble into the water and continued. "Here we are, stuck on a small ledge with no shade and a raging river of death barely twenty paces away and all you can think about is why your life was spared. And all this is after you've tried to strangle me."
"I wasn't going to strangle you." He snapped back, his temper flaring once more. "I lost my temper."
"Well that's a fabulous excuse." She affected a mock apologetic tone. "I'm sorry I snapped your neck, I was merely expressing my disapproval. If this is how you react mad, what the hell do you do when you're happy?" Her eyes caught his and he could see the mockery deep within. "For that matter, how do you plan to thank me for your life?"
"God woman. Do you never shut up? At this rate I'll wish you'd let me fall."
"Well at least we agree on something." She retorted, whirling away from him and marching back to the cliff wall. "Now be useful and help me set up some shade or so help me, I'll..."
A rich full throated laugh sounded from his lips and he walked toward her with several swift strides. Leanadas stepped back, her words dying on her lips as her heart leapt into her mouth. She raised her hands, ready to defend herself, the bruises on her throat still tender. He watched her move and he chuckled again as he backed her up against the cliff face. He was close, too close, she could smell the dust and sweat rolling off him and she swallowed, her heart beating faster.
"You'll what?" He asked, amusement thrumming through his voice. "Threaten to burn me to a crisp? You would have done so already." He looked down at her fingers and chuckled. "Do I scare you blood elf?" His words rolled out of his mouth in husky, laughter filled tones.
"Not in the least," She whispered, her eyes holding his. "but if you were going to kill you would have. So what do you want?" The magic was tingling at the tips of her fingers, ready to arc through his body at the slightest wrong move.
"I guess I'm trying to understand my saviour a little bit." he chuckled, his voice softly mocking. "I guess we are going to be here a while, so we should try to get along. I'm Kalvor."
"Well welcome to the situation." She sneered back at him. "But I see your point. My name is Leanadas, it's a pleasure," Her voice dripped with mockery. "to make your acquaintance." She pushed past him and pulled the long cape from her back. "If you've stopped playing, you can help set up a shelter before the sun bakes us to a crisp." She handed the edge of the cloak to him and raised an eyebrow "You do know how to set up a small shelter?"
"Play nicely Leanadas." He retorted as he moved to help her.
