[QUOTE="airwalkrr, post: 3776541, member: 12460"] "Simbulleen?" Gedric said, cocking his eyebrow just a bit. He glanced over to Padree who looked just as surprised. "Queer name for a queer fella," she said, a goofy grin forming on her face. "Well, I'm Padree, and this is Gedric, Pad and Ged for short. But before we go actin' like we're all friends here, what is it you want with us?" Cymbelline set his left elbow on the table and then reclined his head upon his left hand. He gazed at the mouthy girl with amusement. [i]Youth is so flighty,[/i] he thought, [i]why is it I have no memory of being young? Ah, to be so naive.[/i] "What I want," the half-elf said plainly, "is nothing. It is what you want that should compel you to listen further." Gedric cocked his head to one side. "He means he knows somethin' we wanna hear," Padree informed him. Gedric's eyes lit up at the explanation. He nodded his head. "Ok, then elf, we're listening." "HALF-elf," Cymbelline corrected, "you don't see me spending all my time flitting about trees and making love to fairies do you?" The two urchins shook their heads. "I didn't think so. Now if I may continue, I happen to know a bit about this plague. Nothing stunning of course, but then again, you never can tell when a seemingly trifling bit of information can illuminate a dark mystery." "You know how to cure the plague?" Padree asked with just a little excitement in her voice, "You could be rich!" she exclaimed. "Now, now, child. Keep your voice down," the half-elf cautioned, "I don't want wild rumors to start flying and there are ears underneath the tables in this tavern," he said, tapping his nose twice with his finger, "but I do happen to know of something that happened many months ago, right about the time the plague struck. It is my theory that the two incidents may be related." "That's all well and good," Gedric said, "but you haven't explained why we want to hear this." "Well, my excellent young foundling, that is the best part. You see, you two are the ones who get to prove whether my theory is correct or not." Padree and Gedric exchanged blank looks yet again. Cymbelline was very odd, and they were not sure what to make of his words, but something about him made their heartstrings tug. Something in his eloquent speech made them long for something greater than their miserable lives. And if what he was saying was correct, the two of them could be useful in stopping a plague. The two of them might, in fact, become heroes. They immediately became rapt with attention to Cymbelline's every word. [/QUOTE]
