<b><span style="font-size: 18px">Beldabar's Rest</span></b><br/><br/><span style="font-size: 15px">Ixana escorts Ivan back to the hallway to the rooms in a classy manner. But once they're out of the common room, Ivan gets that kiss after all. The blonde throws her arms around his torso and pushes her lips upward to meet his, causing her front to squish into </span>his defined chest. After holding the kiss for a moment, Ixana breaks it to breathe.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Mm. You're a very bad man ... think of all those poor girl's hearts out there!" </span><br/><br/>With an impish grin, she grabs Ivan's belt and leads him along in a far less high-mannered fashion than before. She gnaws her lower lip gently and grins at the handsome warrior as she feels behind her for the bedroom door handle. Damn thing doesn't want to open. She could have sworn the latch moved, but the door stays stubbornly closed for some reason. She breathes to the warrior,<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Hold on a moment, I need to have words with this door. It's more stubborn than that Lars fell ... oh, shit! Nock!"</span><br/><br/>Ixana's eyes widen as the gnome pulls open the door, and she covers her mouth with her hand in surprise,<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I forgot ... I mean ..."</span>she straightens up,<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I found you a bodyguard. Ivan, this is Master Binder Nocknoss, the artisan I was telling you about. Nock, this is Ivan a uh ... fine warrior who has agreed to assist us tomorrow."</span><br/><br/>She brushes her hair out of her eyes and checks to make sure her bodice doesn't need adjusting, but it seems fine. Ivan has been a perfect gentleman so far.
