[QUOTE="Satin Knights, post: 5818566, member: 6666968"] Having spent longer than expected in her preparations, the hostess returns after three hours silently to the room while Anaerion reads the bardic tales.

[/I] [COLOR=White]Having come to expect the unexpected in this place, Anaerion is not spooked and calmly waits for his next order. [COLOR=Plum]"Close and place the book on the other chair."[/COLOR] He obeys. [COLOR=Plum]"Stand and put on this blindfold. We cannot afford to have your mind wander while traveling through my home. And I guard my privacy well." [COLOR=White]Anaerion hesitates slightly, and then puts the blindfold on.
