[QUOTE="Rae ArdGaoth, post: 3962395, member: 21064"] [size=1]Insert Cludge's response here. (I assume AGFlynn's celebrating the holiday season, as am I!)[/size] Hayder looks thoughtful at the mention of Tandi. [color=deepskyblue]"Tandi di Lune? Strange name for a Sairundani."[/color] Gram crinkles his nose, [color=darkorange]"Sounds like a newfangled Haboob name. Lune, huh! Probably the name o' some star or some big rock somewhere, not Tandi's mother or father at all. That tribe's barely even Sairundani anymore."[/color] Rais counters, [color=royalblue]"Gram, the Haboob are as noble a tribe as any of the Sairundani. I traveled with several of their number these past months, they were courageous and steadfast."[/color] Shadya's older brother seems rather upset over Gram's harsh assessment. [sblock=Shadya and Lasair: ]Rais is more than upset, he's downright offended. [sblock=Shadya: ]Something in his eyes, as he talks about the Haboob's nobility and bravery...

[color=deepskyblue]"Well then, if you have not seen her, I cannot say I am surprised. But Sabil's time is up. After Rais' trials, the Rites will begin, when Dervishes are blessed and marriages are entered.

You notice a tenseness descend upon the table. Even Amin and Rafiq no longer wear smiles on their faces. Most of your meals are finished. Hayder says, [color=deepskyblue]"The orc tribe that you encountered on the way here. Can you tell us more about them?"[/color] He provides no comment on Shadya's mention of an unprovoked attack. His tone has changed from lighthearted small talk to a more businesslike manner. [sblock=Minor OOC: ]I've been trying to do my homework on this one, I really have, but I've managed to confuse more names. =P Sabil is Sabil ai Habul, not whatever I said a few posts back.
