[QUOTE="MacConnell, post: 7518650, member: 6855223"] [b]The Spoifthest Elders[/b] The elderly couple reseated themselves in wooden chairs and gesture for the River Crew to join them. It appears that the Spiofthest people are much more informal in their dealing than the Hebrian and less structured than the Orngaddrin. The two are thin and somewhat frail looking, though there simple movements are still graceful and they sit and rise without difficulty. Four others join them shortly and take seats, as well. The first two seem at least old enough to be four times the crew's average age, the second four about three times. They all have creamy pale skin and wispy blond hair, as is typical of Spiofthest. They are dressed in simple clothing made from various skins, rather than the fabric worn by the Hebrians. They also favor considerable adornment. When they speak, their voices are much quieter than the Orngaddrin and much less matter of fact than the Hebrians. They all greet the crew in a warm and friendly matter but forget or neglect to introduce themselves. Kaeliegh, the eldest female, responds in Eastabin. "[COLOR=#ee82ee]Trade is not all that frequent, so we had no idea that this tragedy was transpiring. Years ago, we sent a delegation to Eastaboga to further our relationship with Tau Ming. That delegation consisted of 4 members, one of whom developed a personal relationship and even bore Tau a child. This was almost 20 years ago[/COLOR]." The elders are aghast at the news.

Many of the adult residents seem lost in their own thoughts, only those in direct path with the two girls pay them any attention. Children on the other hand are much more curious.
