She tries to assess the crowd unobtrusively, looking for possible dangers.*       *       *Finally Jesabela's attention returns to her companions, and she curses herself. Naar's wart-ridden toes, I cannot believe I let a Kai girl go around asking for Davias! She winces when she hears the explanation Moon's Brand gives the barmaid. So much for subtility ... DAMN!! Mentally kicking herself, she moves over to the young Kai."No need for subterfuge," she chimes in with a weak smile at Moon's Brand. "I'll ask her myself." Then she turns to the barmaid. "My traveling companion from the road wasn't sure whether my reason for looking for Davias are confidental, but they aren't. You see, he was a friend and business partner of my late father." Her face saddens a bit, and she quickly looks away. "On his deathbed he implored me to finally give up my ways as a ne'er-do-well and follow in his footsteps as a Kadanese cloth merchant." Her voice catches for a moment, and a carefully calculated tear glistens at the corner of her eye.Then she rallies again. "Sorry, it's ... not yet easy for me to speak of it. I'm sorry." Again she throws Moon's Brand a weak, grateful smile, seemingly for her earlier attempt at helping Jesabela. "I'm here to personally tell Davias of my father's death, and to maybe persuade him to continue his earlier business relation with me now. Do ... do you think you could help me find him? Please?"Sorry for taking so long in posting, work was rather demaning these last weeks ...  :\Good you took over, Andrew!</blockquote>
