A look of relief comes to the young girl's face. The reason for it is likely quite different from what Anduin may believe, however. The logical thing to think would be that she was relieved she wasn't going to be killed. She looked so frail and easily broken, it probably wouldn't have taken much to do.
But of course the real reason is that she seems to have succeeded in her deception. That said, she decides to pour it on thick. "Your friends? You mean the pretty lady and the big man? I...I didn't want to see what they were going to do." It was a lie, she very much had wanted to see it, but had decided her time was better spent doing exactly as she was doing. "They tell us you're all evil, and that you want to make sure the world keeps suffering. That's not true, is it? You don't seem like that type at all. I..I can trust you, right?"
She gives a nervous little bow. "I'm Jrita. I...i'm from the Shadowbough Forest. I'm sure you've never heard of it, no one here has either. I'm sure I'll never see it again....oh. B..but I'm not hurt. I'm not hurt, but I'm sure I will be if I stay here. I think...I think maybe these people are the ones that are really bad. I can barely even tap into a basic spell and they want me to fight and...and maybe even DIE! I know I don't have the right to ask an 'enemy' for this, but please help me! I don't want to be here anymore!"
The matter becomes more urgent as footsteps and the rattling of metallic equipment can be heard nearby. The sounds of battle are obviously not rare on a battlefield, but it seems these ones are dangerously close.
