[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 7196581, member: 4936"] Aridha snorted and threw a bit of wadded-up bread at the frog. Quick as a snake the amphibian's tongue shot out, nicked the treat in midair, and thwipped back into its mouth. Its eyes flattened down a little into its head as it swallowed. Aridha giggled in spite of herself. She thought it was howling daft of them to go anywhere with this bunch...especially if Old Rana had had some kind of vision of doom upon them...but there was no arguing with the hag once she'd made up her mind. Not from lack of trying had Aridha reached that conclusion. When the girl picked up her bread again, the frog immediately perked up, but this time the bite was Aridha's. She poked her tongue out at the beast, but perhaps predictably it didn't seem impressed. It was...easier to look at it, Aridha found. Almost everyone else at the table she'd just have to stare at, and then everyone would think she was some kind of stone-blind simpleton or something. The Lady was one of the Fair Folk by her ears, and was so beautiful it almost hurt to look at her. Ari was short and scrawny; a toothpick of a girl next to her. All freckled and her flaming scarlet hair all afloof...she might be young yet, but Aridha knew the mere passage of years wouldn't close the gap between her and the Lady. Even the leathers that she'd paid the journeyman Upton to make before leaving didn't fill out her figure much. Then there was the dragon man! Tall and huge, with a crocadile head and blue-scaled with teeth and claws and tail...but wearing clothes like a man! Aridha [i]longed[/i] to ask him all the questions she had, but Rana had kept too close with her gimlet eyes and cane. Ari knew exactly how fast that cane could move to thwak someone's knuckles if the old bag thought they were being too pert. Way. Too. Fast. The dwarf was an imposing figure too. Not tall, which was kind of a relief. Even Aridha was a cut or two taller, though perhaps less than a full head. But he was WIDE. And she'd rarely seen armor like that on anyone. The stories said dwarves were wrapped iron when born, because dwarves didn't have cloth, and they made their own armor as they grew up...shedding it like snakeskin, practically. There was another woman too...awkward and fumbly, a little, which was [I]definitely [/I]a relief. Not EVERYONE was a figure of legend striding out of the mists! Gwylla had a bit of the elves around her too, but hardly seemed to know it from how she acted. She was just a regular person! Aridha really wanted to know how she'd wound up with these others. The manservant Templeton had an unhealthy air to him that Aridha didn't much care for. From a city, probably. Plagues ran wild there, or so she heard. Jumped at the first chance to escape. If he hadn't been so sinister, she might have had some sympathy for him. As it was, she simply resolved to keep her distance. Aridha glanced from the frog to surreptitiously ogle the others at the table, then leaned over to nudge Captain Blackpearl...while still keeping half an eye on Rana. [COLOR="#008000"]"Oi.
