The Secret Scion

The Fall of Arden Fair

Bail strides purposefully over to where Mel stands, his long muscly legs eating up the distance in seconds. Planting his feet firmly beside Mel he raises his arm as if about to drape it over her shoulder before stiffly stretching and saying with a dangerous growl "She will need no escort but me" his muscles pop as he stretches, still tight and wound up from the battle and the flight. He eyes sweep the gathering, seeming to flicker with an almost feral light, daring anyone to gainsay his statement.

Mel smiles and hugs Bail. "That's sweet Bail, but if I talk to Layferi d’Phiarlan, I need to go alone. It may be harder to talk to him otherwise." Her voice waivers a little, but she looks into Bail's eyes. "Trust me, I think it might be easer for everyone that way."
 

Harolk enjoys the steak for a moment before telling Querzana "So, what were you doing here? Looking for adventure, or maybe a seedy place for a change?"

"We were having a look at the ships. Tondrek here"
says looking at the half-orc "holds a couple surprises and is thinking on an expedition to Xen-drik. I´m temped to join."

Shenystari places a calming hand upon Opal's forehead, "there, there. It will all be alright. What my friend says is true, you are safe here for now, but the creature that holds sway over Arden Fair is surely going to strike out now that he has been revealed. We will do what we can, but you and your family have powerful friends and could do us great favor by siding with us."
 

The Fall of Arden

Bail crosses his arms and takes a step away from Mel "I will not allow you, or Rayni or Sheny, to walk these streets unaccompanied Mel" he says his voice brooking no argument "Not after what has happened this day. The streets are no longer safe" he growls "I agree we need to leave Sharn, we need to do so quickly and we need to speak with Harolk and the others before we leave. Can we not send a missive to this cousin of yours? Get her to come to us?"

"Bail, that's fine, but," Mel pauses, "I think it's best you don't come with me to see Layferi. Rayni or Sheny perhaps, but not you."

She smiles and puts her hand on Bail's shoulder, looking into his eyes, "I need you to trust me on that Bail, ok?"
 

"That's right, we were going to check out the ships after lunch. That fish was excellent, don't think I've had anything like it. What do you say Tondrek, shall we head out and see the ships?" says Hxaptos.
 

*Rayni nods at Mel's words.*

"I can understand why. I shall accompany you, Mel. An elf might be the best for such a visit--I only hope my reputation does not proceed me among Phiarlan circles."

Tondrek, fishy bits clinging to his mouth, hands, and clothing, looks up when his named is called. "I *chomp* likey *murph* shipy ships *gurgle*!" He sloppily swallows his drink and then continues, "We go look!"
