[QUOTE="Trouvere, post: 5895583, member: 37250"] The tavern door slams open and a halfling woman bursts in in a flurry of red skirts. She's tall for a halfling, though slightly plump, but the main impression she gives is of extreme irritation. "[COLOR=Red]Keldar![/COLOR]" she snaps, pointing at the human standing at the bar toying with his wine goblet. He leaps half out of his skin, and quickly runs his hand through – or just above – his hair. His splendid chainmail loses its lustre and becomes rather ordinary leather armour, though the golden star he wears as a cloak clasp remains. And suddenly he is holding a jaunty three-cornered hat. "[COLOR="SandyBrown"]Ah. Um. This is a surprise,[/COLOR]" he says, and darts one swift longing glance at the stairs. Instead he moves from the bar and arranges himself casually at a table with an arm draped over the back of his chair, the picture of a man demonstrating insouciance. "[COLOR=Red]Do you know what - [/COLOR]" she begins, but Keldar holds up a finger and points to Joe's famous notice on the wall. She fixes him with an icy stare, then turns to address the room at large, smiling ever so sweetly. "[COLOR=Red]I am Miss Rollfar Lightpurse.[/COLOR]" She considers for a moment. "[COLOR=Red]Advocate and counsellor.[/COLOR]" She considers further. "[COLOR="Red"]And associate of one Keldar. Hludovech. Warbray.[/COLOR]" "[COLOR="SandyBrown"]Heh, that's... that's not my middle name,[/COLOR]" Keldar assures the room at large. "[COLOR="SandyBrown"]I don't know where she got that from.[/COLOR]" "[COLOR=Red]Keldar![/COLOR]" His head snaps back around. Rollfar takes a seat at his table and leans forward. "[COLOR=Red]Do you know what I've been doing for the last month?[/COLOR]" Keldar bites a lip. "[COLOR=Red]I've been to Fallon,[/COLOR]" she says. "[COLOR="SandyBrown"]Have you?[/COLOR]" Keldar asks. "[COLOR="SandyBrown"]That's funny, because I was just - [/COLOR]" "[COLOR=Red]You [I]said[/I] you were going to Grenton! You [I]said[/I] you'd be two weeks. You [I]said[/I] - [/COLOR]" "[COLOR="SandyBrown"]I did go to Grenton. Something came up. I had to go straight on to Fallon, as it happens.[/COLOR]" "[COLOR=Red][I]Can[/I] you catch a ship to Fallon from Grenton, as it happens?[/COLOR]" asks Rollfar, extremely rhetorically. "[COLOR="SandyBrown"]Ah.[/COLOR]" Keldar's mouth hangs open. "[COLOR="SandyBrown"]Not as such, what with the river running somewhere else entirely. I did come back through Orussus. It was... it was Tarag's fault! He wouldn't hear of waiting. Or I'd have let you know, of course.[/COLOR]" "[COLOR=Red]I found out. I pay attention. I take an interest. You took Captain Cregle's [I]Lake Jane[/I].[/COLOR]" "[COLOR="SandyBrown"]I did not! He jumped overboard![/COLOR]" says Keldar indignantly. Rollfar winces. "[COLOR=Red]You know what, I don't even want to know![/COLOR]" She gets up and storms out. "[COLOR="SandyBrown"]That went well,[/COLOR]" says Keldar Hludovech Warbray to the air. [/QUOTE]
