[QUOTE="Queenie, post: 7017922, member: 8058"] Lorelei chatted amiably with various patrons of the Velvet Rose, from the lowliest of the low, those who had saved their wands (coppers) for months just to have one special night at the tavern, to those off duty guards who everyone recognized as dropping their elixirs (silvers) here left and right on a very regular basis. The bardess seemed to give the same brilliant smile to everyone she encountered, one of her gifts was making each person she spoke to feel important and special in their own ways. It was vital she not let any one person monopolize her time but she'd learned early on how to keep conversation moving to an end. She also had a natural talent for spotting trouble and would interpose herself where she could even before it started. This would generally happen between workers and off duty guards who thought themselves higher than everyone else. Even if it was true, this was the one place people came to shed that feeling of oppression, at least give themselves the illusion of it for a short while. The only time this didn't work was of course when Absalom showed up, and in those cases, the crowds parted out of his way as soon as he walked in so he could get to the object of his obsession as quickly as possible. Thankfully he wasn't here tonight and everyone was breathing easier for it. Lei's friend Rana was busy with her own clients at the very end of the bar, so rather than interrupt her, Lorelei left a soft kiss on the exotic elf's cheek as she sashayed past her, wine in hand. She'd speak to her when she wasn't busy with little ones and brutes. She finally waved down Rashimi, who had been scurrying around nonstop. "Anything I can help with?" Lei asked, as she casually sipped her wine. She looked the half orc in the eye to ask an unasked question. "No, no, not tonight, you are just fine tonight." The poor woman looked a little harried, and who could blame her with the crowd. Lei's smile grew wider. "Very well, I'm on my own. I actually enjoy these kind of nights, my friend." She patted the larger woman on the shoulder. "Do let me know if you [i]actually[/i] need my help. I'll do my part from the stage." With that she turned back to the crowded room, sipped her wine and scanned it. There was no obvious need of her, yet. She returned to the bar, near Rana, and leaned forward over it, resting her elbows upon the worn wood. It was a safe place to stand, after all. "Manen go-yes, nur?"* the redhead says in perfect elvish. *how goes it, friend? Sent from my iPad using [url=http://r.tapatalk.com/byo?rid=93205]EN World mobile app[/url] [/QUOTE]
