Bahiyya picked up on the smile immediately and let hers grow just a bit in unison, working on more than one channel to build a connection. She threw a short, lazy glance at Emberspike. Any highly cognitive person with deductive skills would see the implied exchange of glances between the two as something worth noticing.<br/><br/>Emberspike didn’t turn his head but got the message irregardless.<br/><br/><span style="color: DarkSlateBlue">“Lord Schwarzhand might be’s dabbling a bit in magicks and stuff, sure, sure, but even he can’t keep all his bases covered in every situation. S’why he has me around, he has. I’m his “second chance”, if y’catch my drift.”</span>The goblin continued.<br/><span style="color: DarkSlateBlue"><br/>
“He’s an enthusiast, he is. After gettin’ loaded with enough wealth to buy half a human nation, he fancied pickin’ up diggin’ for relics as a side project. You’d be amazed what problems he could get into for dusty lil things.”</span><br/><br/>As the priestess related her unfortunate tale, Emberspike sharpened his ears, chewing diligently on the end of his cigar, hrrming.<br/><br/><span style="color: DarkSlateBlue">“A right out bastid, ain’t he? Sod me, man did stuff like that to me, I’d punch him flat of his feet. Well, if its any council; rest assured. We’re not really the trouble makers, nu-uh.”</span>Emberspike continued, leaning in his chair, slowly planting his boots on the table.<br/><br/><span style="color: Sienna">“Only the mildly mischievous kind..”</span>Bahiyya hinted with her best impression of an innocent smile.<br/><br/><span style="color: DarkSlateBlue">“Tells me, lady Tamaska was it? Nice name, got a punch to it.. If you’d mention a favorites thing about this wonky town, what’d be and whyssat?”</span><br/><br/>Bahiyya interjected, adding a reason for the question:<br/><br/><span style="color: Sienna">“You see, the good Lord has only recently ventured here..”</span>she began, manifesting a simple lie to lure her prey in:<span style="color: Sienna">“..and a fresh pair of eyes might help him find some places to unwind and relax, or just to marvel at.”</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
