mleibrock's in-game thread for Council of Thieves

Liath ('Leeth') Starateli



Yellow eyes look the horseman over carefully before moving on to examine the other occupants of the tavern in their turn. After long moments the girl makes a small concession and pushes her hood back, but doesn't move to join the others. "And I'm . . . well, you'll learn my name if this meeting goes the way I hope. Forgive my reluctance, please, it's not personal; where I move trust is thin on the ground and letting down one's guard makes a short walk to the Boneyard."

Dru exchanges knowing looks with Trevor and keeps his peace with regard to the prickly newcomer.

Trevor returns Drux glance and after a inspection of the newcomer in and up and down way more sizing and estimittiang than sexual gawaking, he accepts her comments at face value as there is not need to do otherwise and returns to his ale. Remembering his manners he refills the avians mug from the common pitcher.

Suzume understands the girl's reluctance all too well. He raises the refilled glass, "Cheers."

The girl gives the bird-man a slight smile and tips her head a fraction as she settles in to wait for their hostess.

Janiven

Janiven reappears and it pleased to see Liath has arrived. To Janiven's mind, Liath and she are kindred spirits - both strong women who fight for the oppressed.

Janiven walks to the table Liath is sitting at and speaks, "We are only expecting a couple more...can I get you anything to quench your thirst?"

With Janiven's appearance, the girl's 'tough as nails' demeanor undergoes a radical shift; she shifts uncomfortably in her chair and won't quite make eye contact with their host, and fidgets with the hilt of her sword. "Nothing for me, thank you," she says quietly.

Janiven

Janiven checks the clock on the wall.

"4:00 on the money. Well, not as many are here as I had hoped but definitely the important ones are. If you want to wash up, dinner will be served momentarily."

Janiven gestures to the wash basin and then to a more private room off the main bar room you are currently in. This room contains a long table set for dining and there are currently 8 chairs around the table with a few others along the wall.

Trevor will wash up as requested and head to the table. Being used to being a much younger son he will select a chair well down from the head of the tabl.e

Suzume rises and moves to the wash basin as well. Then he selects a seat where he can see the door. "Only four when Janiven was expecting at least eight." He clicks his beak in what must pass for a Tsk Tsk sound among his kind.
