[QUOTE="HolyMan, post: 5124821, member: 84167"] Vance's winning smile falters for only a second. Had Aidan been refering to some flaw in him? [I][COLOR=royalblue]Nonsense,[/COLOR][/I] he thinks. The young lad is jealous as most men are. [COLOR=royalblue]"I believe your Ma left you off her aporn strings to..."[/COLOR] but whatever Vance was trying to say was lost as Lora spoke up about Martomum. The lord listened and smiled tucking aside his questions like Brend had taught him. Interupting always led to people going silent. Either they didn't like to be interupted or figured out they were talking to much. So he sat there and listened and enjoyed the view. [COLOR=royalblue][I]I wonder what it looks like when she smiles,[/I][/COLOR] he said to himself after she was finished. [COLOR=royalblue]"Yes I know Martomum, Dellex, and Lord Bear. They were here with another man, Fallon, the four of them solved the gnoll problems that were plauging farmers near Harkon Manor. After they were finished they needed to hurry back home and took The Spider's Path, even after all the warnings. I was younger then and Lord Bear inspiried me to choose the life I now lead."[/COLOR] Vance goes silent as Brend returns holding open the door to the wayhouse. The barkeep, Frella, and another man wearing a cook's greasy apron come out bearing more trays of food. Their shoulders are hunched and the look at no one and say not a word as they put the trays on the table and then return inside. Brend takes a postion standing behind Vance arms folded. [COLOR=royalblue]"Now you say you were part of Lord Bairin's army,"[/COLOR] he says helping himself to some of the steaming food brought out. [COLOR=royalblue]"That Dellex has takin charge of Lord Bairin's force and instead of marching to war with the elves to the east, he had the army head north."[/COLOR] he pauses to take a bite seemingly lost in thought.
