The sigh at his continued innuendos was not audible, but was instead written all over her expression. Perhaps she should not have been so indulgent, but it was still a viable solution to their issue.
When he actually got to the point, she found herself agreeing. It was well within her abilities and should make quick work of the other. With luck they'd spread rumors of the haunting and the tomb would be left alone. [color=#9a00b2]"That will be simple enough, yes," [/color]she assented.
Oh again with the innuendo. Much as she respected his desire to reclaim their lost history she could do without the constant entendres. [color=#9a00b2]"Not all spirits moan, if you will,"[/color] she said aloofly. [color=#9a00b2]"And this one will not unless you choose to inflict it on them."[/color]

Anyone who looked upon Ruth would see only a glowing humanoid form, not quite elf, not quite human, but something more menacingly ethereal. A foot or two around him would seem to warp, twisting their surroundings in impossible ways. Eerie sounds would become louder the closer anyone got to him - howls, clicks, screeches, otherworldly noises that would make hair stand on end. Once he got closer to the party she would ensure they all felt a creeping sense of dread to complete the effect.
