[QUOTE="Queenie, post: 7021600, member: 8058"] Lorelei briefly caught the eye of the panicked woman Rashimi over the Captain's shoulder, she could see terror residing there like she never had before. Understanding there must be a [I]great[/I] need here, she formulated a quick plan. She went to the table where the Captain had been sitting, poured herself a drink, then refreshed his. She brought his drink over to him and offered it. She spoke slowly and clearly, still calm, hopefully giving anyone all the time they needed to do... something. [COLOR="#DDA0DD"]"It seems you may have found a traitor in our midst, Captain? It seems every so often one of these villains finds their way into our sanctuary, our reprieve from daily life. I don't know why they believe they can come here and use us this way, it is quite disheartening."[/COLOR] Lorelei took a long drink from her glass, she needed this drink and more after this night. [COLOR="#DDA0DD"]"I believe even our most Revered Ordinator will be quite disheartened."[/COLOR] She timed a sigh, then a long pause to let that sit in. [COLOR="#DDA0DD"]"When Absalom comes to my bed,"[/COLOR] she stopped suddenly to look the Captain in the eyes, [COLOR="#DDA0DD"]"Oh, you do know that, do you not? He visits me in this very place Captain! When he comes to my bed here, he tells me how happy he is with me." [/COLOR] [i]Well, that's not a lie, [/i] she thinks, [I] though he'd probably take me in a garbage bin and doesn't give a rat's tail about this place... [/I] [COLOR="#DDA0DD"]"He tells me how happy he is and I imagine that he'd be very UNHAPPY to find out something bad had happened to his favorite place in the whole world."[/COLOR] Lorelei took another sip and started slowly pacing around the wooden floor, trying to give a reassuring smile to a frightened customer every once in a while. Lorelei tapped on her full lips. [COLOR="#DDA0DD"]"Hhmmmmm. Captain Okten. Your name does sound familiar to me.
