[QUOTE="Qik, post: 5656776, member: 6673727"] The door to the back room opens, although at first, Arianna doesn't see the one responsible. [COLOR=Purple]"Hmmm..."[/COLOR] she hears, and she looks down to see the gnome, whose serious look of scrutiny makes for an odd contrast to the array of brightly colored, over-sized cloths that he wears. [COLOR=Purple]"Hmm..."[/COLOR] he repeats, [COLOR=Purple]"you're the uncommon one, aren't you? The one from beneath? Truth to tell, I wasn't sure if you would be joining us, but it's good you came - otherwise Grog would have carried in the special stool I brought for naught. Come in, come in,"[/COLOR] he continues on in an unbroken stream, grabbing the woman by the hand and pulling her into the dimly lit room. Gesturing to an oddly shaped stool to the left of his own chair, the gnome says,[COLOR=Purple] "Sit, sit, sit...you should find it more comfortable than most of the chairs up here. You need something to eat? I know you've come a long way."[/COLOR] He gestures to the trays of grapes, cheeses and the like laid out upon the table. Not waiting for a reply, he leaps up into his own chair and returns to shuffling the odd-looking deck of cards he had pulled out earlier. Nodding to Saranna, he says,[COLOR=Purple] "She only just showed, and we're still waiting for the others, so you two might as well introduce yourselves to each other."[/COLOR] As he speaks, his shuffling hands reach an uncanny speed, although his visage remains calm and unaffected. For a moment, he stops speaking, looking at the other two expectantly. [/QUOTE]
