Table for One Options

[fistandantilus4....]

Ok, sounds great.


.... that it?

[Lady Door]

Lu smiles broadly and wraps her arms around her sister.
That's it? You're not upset? You'll come?

[fistandantilus4....]

Kyla hugs her back fiercly
Of course I'll come. You think I didn't know what you've been thinking about the last few days? I can't leave my baby sister alone now can I ? Someone might try to take advenatge of you or something She says it with a wink, knowing full well how Lu has begun to eye a few of the sailors.

Besides, who would be your first mate when you Captain your own ship if not me?!

[Lady Door]

Lu hugs her tighter. I've already been thinking.. if Captain Jonthen gives the 'Maiden over to Athernon to crew.. then he's definitely going to need us. AND with the money we're going to get from the dwarf kaer thing... well, we could buy our own. I want to call it "Revelry in Motion". What do you think?

[fistandantilus4....]

Sounds a little kinky to me honestly, but you're better with that sort of thing. But if we do get our own ship, we're going to find some of those fire cannon things I've been hearing about. None of this 'flying about trying to catch up so we can hack each other apart like civilized people' crap. Ok?

[Lady Door]

Deal... as long as we occasionally get to hack each other apart like civilized people. She laughs. Let's get going.
Lu looks over at the crew, scanning for Vincent.

[fistandantilus4....]

He doesn't appear to be on the deck at the moment. Looking around, she does see him on the deck of the Maiden.

[Lady Door]

Before getting off of the 'Leaper, she leans over the edge and yells out his name.
Vincent! When he turns, she smiles and blows him a kiss.

[fistandantilus4....]

He smiles and waves back, then yells Don't be gone to long!Kyla laughs again as she climbs off the airship, down the ladder, again in her full armor, with an additional small parcel on her back.

The swordmaster follows Ordat down, leading Lu. Finding a place shouldn't be too much trouble. Finding accomadations that will house Ordat and still be comfortable, and affordable, might be a bit more of a trick.

[fistandantilus4....]

The walk through Kratas is a stark realization for Lu and Kyla about the true state of the world. Compared to the majesty and wonder of Travar, Kratas is a sickness, a boil on the land. Everywhere they turn, people eye each other hungrily. The city is over populated and bustling with activity. Hawkers shout their wares as in Travar, but here they seem almost hostile. Beggars line the streets everywhere they go, the buildings look old and worn, refuse lines the alley ways.

A group of children rushes up to the two women, hands out begging for coin or food. As Lu and Kyla both reach for their coins, Lolindril stops them. Thsese are not children beggars, these are only small thieves in training. If you give them coin, they will note how much you have and report it to teir teacher. Then the more seasoned and older thieves, the ones that started just like this, will tail us through the city, and slit our throats for whatever we carry.
The children will go back to their warren tonight, and be fed their. An coin you give them will be handed over to their master, for which they will receive just enough food to sustain them. That way they will have to keep coming back. That is the harsh reality of a city like Kratas. I would suggest that while we are in the city, if either of you leaves your rooms, once we have them, you have myself or Ordat accompany you at all times.

Kyla's face falls as he pushes through the children, his hand holding his purse in one hand, and his kife in the other, for fear of it being stolen. They press on. The swordmaster inquires at a number of more upscale bars. The dining and wine houses seem to be the only places that people take the time to clean. Eventually they're given directions to an Inn called the Griffon.

Lolindril smiles at that, and turns to Lu.In any other city, it would be the "Gilded Griffon". But in Kratas, they'd then have to worry about someone stealing the sign.

[Lady Door]

Lu laughs weakly, still disturbed by the sight of the children from earlier.
I don't care what it's called. Let's just get inside. Lu keeps her cloak wrapped tight around her, with one hand resting on the hilt of her dagger, out and ready.
Once inside the inn, Lu drops the cowl of her cape and takes a look around.

[fistandantilus4....]

The entry way and common room are clean enough, with carpeting in some areas instead of just bare wood, clean tables, and a reception area for potential guests. The ceilings are high enough to accomodate Ordat as well, and there does appear to be some troll (and dwarf) sized furniture. Lolindril takes point, bargaining with the "receptionist" over room prices.

[Lady Door]

Lu half listens while he bargains, anxious to pick up the skill. Her attention though is only half on him as she's also watching the room. Everyone looks suspicious to her, and Lu begins to actually feel a little claustrophobic. She's relieved when Llondir finishes.
In a whisper to Llondir: How much?

[fistandantilus4....]

Thirty silver a night for each room, two to a room. Each room will have a pair of bathes. Normally it's just one. I got her to make a few concessions. We'll have dinner brought up as well. All in all, not a bad bargain. Here's your room key.

Shall we ladies?
Lolindril hands Lu her room key, and starts up the stairs.

[Lady Door]

Lu follows him up the stairs, eyeing any of the patrons that seem to pay them more then a casual amount of interest. It doesn't even dawn on her that they may be taking in an interest in the two beautiful elven twins. Even after the time spent on the ship, Lu still doesn't think that way.

[fistandantilus4....]

The rooms are a welcome treat, especially after the ship. Lolindril was non-specific as to which room Ordat would be in, so he had purchased two rooms wit htroll sized beds. As soon as she saw it, Kyla leapt on to hers, grateful to be off of the tiny cot of the ship at last.

[Lady Door]

Okay, so Ky and I will take this room. You two can take the room across the hall. Lu pretends to not see the look of disappointment on Llondir's face and tosses her pack down onto the chest at the foot of the bed.
Llondir, how are we going to be on security? Do we need to make sure we have our things with us at all times or can we trust some things to the inn?

[fistandantilus4....]

I doubt you'll have to worry much about your packs, and certainly not your shileds. Your armor you should wear outside. It will mark you as someone more formidable than most will want to deal with. People look for easy marks, not ones that stab back. Don't leave anything small or valuable lying around though.

[Lady Door]

Lu can't help but smile at the thought of not worrying about her shield.After all, no one's going to steal a shield... oh, wait... She chuckles to herself and nods.
Seeing Ky sprawled out on the bed, Lu can't help but join her. She smiles at the men and then quickly begins doffing her armor.
I don't know about you two, but I'm going to take off my armor, lie down on this nice comfy not a cot and then have dinner. Feel free to join me... well, on your beds that is. Lu winks.

[fistandantilus4....]

Lolindril, heading for her bed, stops where he is, and looks dissapointed for a moment, then turns around and walks out, closing the door behind him.

Kyla bursts out in laughter, letting out what she could barely contain while he was still in the room.

[Lady Door]

Lu smiles at Ky and calls Llondir back, getting up to chase after him. I was kidding.. please, come back. Have dinner with us.
She smiles at him hopefully.

[fistandantilus4....]

Lolindril spins, cathching her ff gaurd, grabs her, and dips her low, kissing her deeply as he does. After a good thirty seconds he stands her back up, then bows deeply with a flourish.We would be honored my Lady.

Ordat hrumphsI will never understand elves and their comfortability with such casual closeness. Do you even know which one she is?

Lolinrdil smiles. Why of course I do my large friend. This is Luthielien. Kylathian uses more tongue, Luthielien moans louder. He smiles beautifully at Lu.

Ordat just shakes his head.Thank you for proving my point.

Kyla laughs again, The elven way of love and passion is not hard to understand Ordat. We take what partners we will, enjoying the passion we share. If nothing else, it is a learning experience that one can take to a marriage later. Who would want a husband or wife that had absolutely no experience in the ways of love?!

[Lady Door]

Lu ponders this for a moment and then nods.
I wonder, Ordat, how you tell us apart?

[fistandantilus4....]

By the way you speak. I had heard from others of my people that all elves look the same. I had thought that they simply did not pay attention. But now that I have met more elves, especially you two, you truely do all look the same. So I listen.

Kyla laughs again.

[Lady Door]

Lu smiles and moves to link her arm with Ordat's. She moves inside with him, moving out of the way so he can step through the doorway.
So, did they say when they wouuld be bringing up dinner?
