[QUOTE="Macv12, post: 6747436, member: 6801600"] After a brief moment of confusion (is bread related to cheese? How is bread made again?), Shen just smiles. Classic Daedarai. She can't tell if he really thinks bread is cheese, or if he thinks Alejandro wouldn't know the difference, but either way, you can't tell what he's going to do next. "Al, do you use the back entrance for everything?" she comments absently. As they walk, she bounces ahead of the group, then lags behind slightly, then ahead again, eyes darting between Daedarai's face as he talks and everything around her. She starts tracing the regular path to the boat they're headed for, then the fastest path [I]away[/I] if she had to escape; halfway through this, she sees a swiveling crane unloading some boxes from a boat, and wonders if she could use it to swing over to the ship wheel. But, remembering how disgustingly seasick she got before the Tarenwall campaign, she decides against trying. Distracted by a weird smell, she pauses to look over the dock, seeing if it's another dead person this time, but it looks more like a dog or rat. Gods, the city is interesting, but the awareness it demands is exhausting. And the dense geography and stench aren't doing much for that hard-to-breathe feeling. "Ain't used the 'F' word in a long time, but I never let down a partner...partner!" She holds a hand out for Daedarai to shake, forcing a smile back onto her face. "Just call me your bodyguard. Let's see where this goes!" "And I'll try not to talk about guild stuff the open." She pulls her hat down a bit to cloud her face and puts one shushing finger to her lips. She turns to Alejandro, walking backward next to him to hold out her hand. "Partner. Sorry about all the mess. Alls I remember is asking if there was any place someone good with weapons could get some work. Oh," she continued, looking up thoughtfully, still facing backward, "and I heard this bard story before coming here? Something about old ruins under the city? Might've asked if there was some way to find them. But don't worry, I'll stick with you folks, this is way more action than some kid story about curses and treasure and what-all. Prob'ly fake anyways." [sblock="OOC"]On an unrelated note, I'm enjoying the total integration of cantrips as casual conversational flourishes.
