Queenie
Queen of Everything
Jord watches as the elf and bird man take wing and fly away rapidly. He is further yet in shock as the one he had spoken with the longest, Xobru, gets up and takes his molluscan friend with him. He is confused by this. Jord is a deliberate man. He does not make hasty decisions. He sighs, finishes his beer in one long gulp and turns to Lola, the last one at the table. "Well, they all left in quite a hurry. I hope mephits don't attack here again. However, I did feel some, some sensation. Should we go and take a look?"
Lola gave Jord a side eyed glance. "I admit, I felt something too. I will also admit, I too was drawn here for reasons beyond my own understanding. However, I have a lot of doubts about running off willy-nilly like those folks just did, not knowing what they are getting themselves into. I like fun but I also value my life and it seems like a dangerous city from my short time here. I also very much question the ability of any of them not to get each other killed, whether accidentally or purposefully."
"So, I don't have any great need to run off and join them immediately, not under the circumstances in which they probably all find themselves. I am very content to take my time getting there or not get there at all right now."
She paused and looked up at the giant man, considering. "There is one more thing. I... I'm not really sure why I think I can trust you." She flashed back to the scene of her throwing the fireball, and the fact that no one turned her in to the Captain afterward... it was much easier having someone to trust... "I am not exactly registered for using magic in this city."
She continued to look up at him as flashed him a huge, mischievous, pearly smile and swished her tail, back and forth, back and forth.
