[QUOTE="CanadienneBacon, post: 6718055, member: 11146"] Brue flinched. Moments later, when the gnome said he'd prefer to be called Schepp, Brue let out a breath she hadn't known she'd been holding. At least she wouldn't be expected to call him Boddynock. A relief, that. Brue looked at Gnorth, Corilo, and Lorenzo, Corilo, gesturing for them to come a bit closer. She didn't look at or address Schepp, but she pointedly moved to the side to make room for him. [color=green]"Rowena left out bits and bobs. I'm the 'diplomat.'"[/color] Someone snorted in disdain, prompting Brue to look up and frown before continuing, [color=green]"...as I was saying, I'm the 'diplomat' Rowena sent with the treaty to the Wealdath. I delivered it as promised the Elves, picked up their ceremonial staff, and was enroute back to Kirgard when I was set upon."[/color] She scrubbed at her ear. [color=green]"Can't for the life of me think why Her Majesty chose a sword and board fighter for that job, except I'm of a heritage outside the norm; perhaps she thought there'd be less exception taken to the likes me, purely for the shade of my skin. Well, anyway. It turned out to be a bad job all around. I must've taken a hard knock to the head; I woke up at the Temple of Waukeen in Mosstone, and don't recall my assailants. Or where I was accosted, even."[/color] Brue frowned again. [color=green]"I'm no diplomat. I kill things, that's my trade. Look, I don't know why in the Realms Rowena thought she needed to leave off that tidbit, but if it were me being asked to take a jaunt to Port Kir to fetch and carry, I'd want to know the company I was asked to keep."[/color] The earth genasi paused. [color=green]"One more thing. My memory's no good since the bump on the head."[/color] She snorted at Lorenzo in a friendly way, shooting the cleric a grin. [color=green]"Not that it was much to begin with. But it's worse now."[/color] [/QUOTE]
