EVENT: Birthday Party

[1000_npcs]

The tavern is curiously more crowded than usual tonight. Perhaps it's the recent influx of travelers who have decided to stay at Budehuc, or the fact that it's a certain squire's birthday, but the barkeep hasn't seen such a big crowd since the days of Nadir's plays. Drowned out by the drunken men's laughter and absurd stories, a small band of musicians can also be heard playing near the stage.

[ Just the mention of her name makes him startle like a deer. But he still stands his ground, nodding at the name even after his initial flinch. ]

You... know her?

[ladyofstars]

Yes, unfortunately. Vile woman.

[nodestiny]

[ Tilts his head a little, surprised to hear her say that. Both parts. ]

... You think she's vile? ... How did you know her?

[ladyofstars]

I have worked with her clan sister Leknaat in the past. I was made well aware of her goals.

[nodestiny]

[ And the surprises just keep coming! ... He offers her somewhat of a smile now, though it's still guarded. ]

I'm... glad to hear you're not after the same thing, then.

[ladyofstars]

No, it's my duty to protect the Runes from creatures like her.

[gives him a kind look]

I am sorry that she has caused you harm.
