[QUOTE="CanadienneBacon, post: 6670450, member: 11146"] [section][align=left]http://i59.tinypic.com/2emg5xk.jpg[/align]Kid glanced at Nia, then looked again and stammered. [color=teal]"P-p-pleasure."[/color] A hand shot out in greeting. [color=teal]"You're pretty."[/color] Kid shook his head, errant curly locks spraying. He drug his eyes away from Nia, and re-focused on Katerina. [color=teal]"Got some [I]monkeys an' a Mary Sue[/I] waitin' at the tavern. An' someboddie wot wants ter treat wit' you, m'lady. If ye'll come?[/color] Kid was purposely cryptic with his words, but he locked eyes with Katerina and raised an eyebrow for extra effect. He shifted his weight from his right leg to his left, leaning in the direction of the byway that would take the three of them to the Blackreef.[/section] [sblock=Thieves' Cant]I think Katerina knows Thieves' Cant? If so, Kid used slang for cannons and a gun. His intonation of the word "monkeys" is designed to raise Katerina's curiosity; they aren't just any cannons, apparently. Kid thinks they're something special, and the lilt of his tone is intended to convey that belief to Katerina. The raised eyebrow could have been taken by someone unfamiliar with the Cant to be a challenge to Katerina's station, but she knew better. The eyebrow was Kid's message to her that he had something good, something he thought she'd very much like to see, but that the item was hot and best left unsaid in a public byway. When Kid shifted his weight to his left leg, he tried to impress upon her the urgency of his request that she come to the Blackreef [I]now[/I]. Time was short.[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
