[QUOTE="CanadienneBacon, post: 6710101, member: 11146"] Kid sat down in a white-upholstered rattan chair in the lobby of the Colonial, not caring a whit about the ill looks he received from a nearby clerk. He accepted a coffee from Etienne, but set it down on a table at his elbow. The boy wiped sweat and grime from his temples; running was an exertion that made stark the lad's desperate need for a bath. Kid wiped his hands on the upholstery. When his breath returned, the boy looked peaky. His cheeks were chalky white. The odor of day-old rum, vomit, and body odor wafted across the settee and filled Etienne's nostrils. [color=teal]"What? No. Ain't seen 'em afore, don't think. They said they gots work and said a ship's name,"[/color] Kid shuddered before continuing, [color=teal]"that don't bear mentionin' 'ere. Best guess's they's treasure seekers, but lookin' fer diff'rent loot than us."[/color] Kid stood up. He drank his coffee and chicory in one go, grimacing at the bitter taste. [color=teal]"Let's go find us the others. Bound ter be 'round 'ere somewheres"[/color] Kid made his way back to du Tourbillion's rooms. [/QUOTE]
