Yunalesca smiles...

"Mal... would you mind if I joined you... I have never been here before and it seems like you have a good grasp on how this big city works..."

Yunalesca bites her lip... trying not to sound to imposing...

"I promise not to be too much trouble.... I understand if you are too busy and all."

-''Well, huh...

Mal is silent for a moment as he mentally weights the pros and cons of tagging along with Yulanesca;

''-Pro: She's hot
-Con: She drags a Lion around!
-Pro: The lion will keep the annoying people from annoying me.
-Con: But then again the Lion might draw its own brand of annoying people who'd want to pet him...
-Another Con:The Lion might keep the pretty girls away.
-Pro: But then again the Lion might draw the pretty girls in. Do the pretty girls like lions? Hmm, it does travel with a pretty girl. And he looks a lot like a big kitten.
-Another Pro: He'll keep the cutpurses away! Well, that's the clincher.

Mal suddenly smile to Yunalesca, his decision taken.

-''Miss, I'd be delighted to escort you through the city.''

Talking to the guard:
"Oh Valis... he is perfectly hamrless... He won't harm a soul I promise..."

Mal raises an eyebrow at that comment and starts thinking again while Yula argues with the guard:

''WHAT? He won't harm a soul? This sort of defeat the purpose of dragging a lion around.

And if he won't harm anyone, he will not scare the annoying people away. Hmm, but he is more likely to draw pretty girls. But he will not frightens the cutpurses. But...''

"Yay!!!!" Yunalesca hugs Mal... and then nuzzles Valis.. who purrs in reply... then looks to Mal and growls menacingly.. before Yunalesca scowls to Valis...

"Stop that this instant..." she smiles to Mal, "Lead the way... and I promise you won't regret this."
 

Mal's eyes light up as the Lion purrs then growls.

-''Oooh, oooh, that's good; can you make him growl and purr on command? That could come in handy!''

Thinking again;

''If he purrs when pretty girls are near and growl at annoying people...''

As he is contemplating a perfect world where annoying people and pretty girls know their place, Mal leads the way in the city looking for the closest, most affordable Inn.

The High-up from Blackcastle Tower...

A man exits from the Blackcastle Tower wagon. He is frail looking young man clad in stiff-necked dark robes. His hair is a dark black, while his face is set in a permanent unpleasant frown. "I am Ambassador Abragius Kessel, of the Demense of Blackcastle Tower, here to recognize the Primus and Regent..." Abragius's tone is a deeply snobbish drawl, as if these mendicants couldn't figure that out by looking at him, they are to blame for it. "I am to be taken to my ambassadorial quarters immediately..."

The Captain frowns at this. He glances at Valentius, who nods, then looks back at Abragius. "Of course sir. I'll have some men escort you there immediately..." His displeasure is obvious, as is it's reason to any with knowledge of the area--Abragius is likely a member of the Shaded Cabal, an organization whose stated goal is to conquer the Aguire...

As Kaiambus glances around, his eyes fall on the imposing bulk of Slavers' Keep, which lies a few miles away from the walls of Seilen. Its traditional flag--a wolf in chains--is flying in its usual place. However below it, in the position reserved for honored guests is a flag showing a demon devouring a human heart. The flag of Urek Mersa...

As Mal and Yunalesca move forward, a young man wearing a bright red hat, and holding a sturdy staff comes forward.

"Pardon me, sir and miss...? Do you wish to hire the services of a Dragoman? Then I am your man--Eveiret Sto. For a few coins I will guide you around the city to help you get your footing. For example, do you wish to find an inn? I know the names of every inn in the city, their respective prices, and states of fullness... A tavern? I will not only tell you their names and locations, but who owns them, the quality of the liquor they serve, and how many fights have been there lately, whcih may be either a positive or a negative..."
 

Yunalesca follows Mal oohing and awwing at the sights...

"Well I wouldn't say on command.. but he does what I want him to do.. if I want him to be nice he usually is... and if he needs to be mean he can do that too... once saw him take down a full size deer all by his lonesome... he is strong my Valis..."

He is a nice man I like him... seems trusting enough...

Yunalesca walks beside Mal with a plesant smile on her lips...

Talking to Eveiret

''Eveiret, you have good timing. What I need is to find an Inn that offers the best ratio between affordable price, quality of service and proximity of a first rate tavern. And when you get us there, I'll need you to deliver a message to a friend.''

Looking back toward the gate, he looks suprised.

-''Kessel! We spent the whole trip with that load of troll dung! Had I known I would have sabotaged his wagon.''

Eveiret smiles. "One jumps into my brain at this very moment--the Gilded Gargoyle, run and operated by that soul of hospitality Smiling Jack... The price is simple--a silver a day--the food is excellent, and the reputation of the place is beyond reproach."

He puts out his hand. "For ten coppers, I'll lead you right to it..."
 


Yunalesca watches wide-eyed...

"Wow... you are so generous..."

She follows them to the inn... Valis falling in step behind Mal...

"This is all so different from my home.. all these buildings... and streets... so many people... and all this pomp... I guess if I were from the big city I would have a big ego too... but it all seems so strange... thanks again Mal..."

Yunalesca smiles and continues to look impressed with the sights and sounds...
