[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 5684531, member: 4936"] Nia scowled to herself. Not even a word of thanks greeted her. No one offered name, nor water, nor food to ease her way. She would have loved to have imitated one of her mentor's, Kilsasha, legendary rages...but Kilsasha herself had drilled more than once into Nia's head that she should not make threats she was not willing, or able, to back up. Nothing hurt one's credibility more than having a bluff called...and for a witch to lose credibility hurt not just her, but her sisters as well. Her strange blue eyes strayed and found the [i]Opai'lei[/i], the First People, who had been tamed by the invaders. They flinched at the hard scorn in her face and posture. The invader called them 'hillfolk,' and by capitulating, they had lost what they had been, and become Hillfolk in fact. At least they had the grace enough to flinch. Some part of them remembered what they were. That gave Nia a glimmer of hope. She released the erstwhile tribesmen from her glare and looked down to watch the innkeeper reviving the fool on the floor. It was, she decided, only right that all courtesy went first to the man who would die without it. She would give the innkeeper a fair moment to offer her courtesy before shaming this place by asking for water. To the man who addressed the fool, she said stiffly in her accented Common, [COLOR="Green"]"Him did not come to de jungle wit' me."[/COLOR] Her lips peeled back in a sarcastic grin. [COLOR="Green"]"If him had, I'd have kept him on his feet...or killed him on de spot." [/COLOR]She nodded at him, sprawled on the floor there.[COLOR="Green"] "Found him walkin' de trade road, no food or water or blanket to sleep on. Someting be watchin' over him, doh I know not what. Someting be keepin' him alive when him should be dead."[/COLOR] There. Let them chew on [i]that.[/i] [/QUOTE]
