You're not from around here, are you? *She offers a warm smile, green eyes assessing.* I'm Palla, of the Whitewings. If you're looking for protection or guidance, you've come to the right place. Just don't expect me to go easy on you during training. ((I hope this one is not another recruit who'll quit after the first week. We need reliable allies now more than ever.)) *Her pegasus nudges her shoulder affectionately.*
