And right this way, if you please!” “A word of advice from one who appreciates a fine suit to another: Don’t mention ‘Lady’.” The clerk warns Maladiel as an aside. “She gets very cross about the fact she doesn’t have a mark.”The bellhop guides you to a lavishly decorated office. They open the door just long enough to let you all enter, then shut you all inside. Trophies of all kinds decorate the shelves, with scant collections of books dispersed amongst them. The desk in the center is halfling-scaled, but on a raised floor to make the stature of the one sitting behind it more imposing. Even then, what draws your attention is the animal pen in the corner of the room. There, a middle-aged halfling woman is feeding and caressing a clawfoot. The clawfoot lets out a chirping sound in gratitude as the woman responds “You are welcome, Brother.” in the halfling tongue before turning to greet you.The woman moves as if she was a predatory animal. Locking eyes with the biggest of you, her body turns around in motions meant to keep her gaze forward and her body fluid. Her robes flow to make her look bigger, and her jewelry clacks and flashes in ways designed to distract you from her vitals. As she sits, she adjusts her horn rimmed half-framed glasses so that she can peer over their obviously magical lenses.“Please, sit.” She speaks in a low, authoritative tone. ”I understand Yamyra sent you, if that is true, I need not know anything else. The less, the better.” She pauses a moment to let the subtext sink in. “What did she tell you?”[gm] I admit that was a bit of herding. Pleasantries are quick enough while in person, but they take so long over php I couldn't help speeding it up a bit. If you want later though, I can do up a quick synopsis of that play.[/gm]</blockquote>
