[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 4954805, member: 4936"] On the heels of two weary-looking workers entering the inn comes another magus, though it is forgiveable that she was not immediately greeted as one. The figure was not particularly imposing...small in stature and slimly built, like a youth. Her clothing was well made and sturdy, but utilitarian...nothing fancy in the slightly baggy brown breeches, white tunic top or dark blue hooded cloak; certainly nothing magical. Most telling of all though, completely absent in this newcomer was that slight aversion from The Gift that was all but ubiquitous here. Even among those who had long lived with it, even among mages themselves, that undertone of unease marked mages beyond shadow of doubt. Then the stranger pushed back her hood, and her stature as magus was immediately conferred. It was like unveiling a lamp in a dark room. She was radiantly, extravagantly beautiful; a character from heroic stories that had somehow strided out from the pages and into reality. Golden blonde hair that fell in waves down to her shoulders, cheeks that still bore some of the roundness of youth, full rosebud lips and large, gorgeous emerald green eyes that almost seemed to sparkle even in the relatively dim light inside the inn. She had an unearthly quality to her as well. A hint of soft focus, a suggestion of the play of light and shadow being slightly -different- on her than in the surrounding room. A trained eye might see the effects of [i]glamour[/i] around her, though surely not from a spell. Not under the Aegis. Squinting just so and focusing the eyes as if just beyond her, and one could see that the glamour was merely enhancing a natural beauty, working with what was already there and lifting it even higher...rather than plastering a face of illusion over an ugly, or even plain, visage. In any event, like eyes adjusting to new light, after a few minutes the 'impact' seemed to dwindle. The new magus spied Heidi and made her way over with an open, disarming grin spreading over her face. [COLOR="lime"]"Hello, I'm new here but I think I'm expected? I'm Ilshana."[/COLOR] Her voice was high pitched and had a sort of singsongy tonality to it. She held out one of her small, almost dainty little hands.
