The fact was that Renate didn't mind it, she'd had it happen enough in her life to just laugh things like that off and nodded to Ranis and pretended to struggle for a moment to "unlatch" Naolin before joining them at the table.  "It's nice to meet a friendly face." she said to Ranis and blinked, her eyes going distant for a moment and smirked wolfishly at her and said lowly. "Your majesty." she said and winked before sitting back in her seat and made a gesture to the barmaid on duty.<br/><br/>"A round for all of us!" she ordered firmly and laughed some, seeming to just relax as she flicked her left hand and produced a small cloth from it and proceeded to wipe her cleavage clean of Naolins' drool. "It's gross but he does it every time I surprise him. We're old drinking buddies." she explained as she did.<br/><br/>As she settled, her ragged ponytail wrapped itself around her shoulders and rested on her chest as if it had a mind of it's own. Sometimes her "other self" would play with her hair adn make it do weird things, harmless as it looked like a ghost was playing with it. Ren's inner self was more sensitive to the auras of others and could sense the field of magic around Ranis that was keeping her as a humanoid.  But she'd just ignore it for the time being and sighed some, fiddling with an empty bottle. "hey. have either of you heard of...'she started off and explained the name of an underground organization known for it's smuggling, slave-trade and various other things.  "I've been looking for leads to where they keep their main headquarters, I've heard it's in this general area but I haven't had any luck in finding it." she said.<br/><br/>If they did know where it was she was going to invite them to come along to find out just what they were doing and "confiscate" any of their assets to give to the innocent people they victimized to line their pockets with gold.  It wasn't a nice thing to do and she wasn't going to deal with it anymore: she wanted to find her mom.  "I'm sure there's rewards to dealing with people like that." she said.
