Still with his back on the floor and seeming to be in no rush to get back on his feet, Jake shot a betrayed look at both Mora and Tygrane before shaking his head.  Women.  It's never the animal that gets in trouble when it comes to them, even if it's a giant cat with fangs and claws that could probably completely disembowel Jake if the ghost saber wanted to.  The rogue sure didn't seem threatened by that, however, when he decided to throw another glare at the cat while it moved across the room, snagged a piece of fruit from Tygrane, and then brought it over to Mora.<br/><br/><i>Oh look at the little kitty, isn't he cute?</i>Jake thought mockingly.<i>Stealing that meat from the mean man with the knives.  Isn't he precious?</i><br/><br/>Out loud, with his gaze now focusing on Tygrane, Jake spoke, "I don't know how it is for night elves, but people don't usually let their pets eat from the dinner table.  Especially when they're eating food that isn't theirs."<br/><br/>Fortunately there seemed to at least one person that was sympathetic to his plight as Etheda stepped over and offered his hand.  Jake decided to take it as he reached up, grabbed it, and was hoisted back to his feet.  After saying a quick "Thanks", Jake picked up the chair and set it straight so that he could plant his butt on it.  Despite it having been the cause for his previous fall before, the rogue nonetheless leaned his chair back so that he could resume his position with feet on the table and hands behind his head.<br/><br/>Once he got comfortable, Jake looked to Etheda and, after jerking his head towards the troll and night elf, shook his head and muttered, "Women.  Doesn't matter what race does it?"<br/><br/>Speaking of which, their other two female companions - Erma and Ruhzelil -, having seemed to have ignored the exchange between man and beast, had resumed their business with speaking to Fillet.  Jake was actually surprised to hear the latter speak, what with the draenei having hardly said a word since the meeting started, but when she did, the rogue had to struggle to understand it.  It was that draenei accent.  He had met a few draenei that had learned to better speak Common but the accent was pretty thick on Rehzelil's words to the point where Jake had to lean his head a bit closer in her direction as he struggled to understand her.<br/><br/>But he still understood the meaning for her pulling out a totem and mouthing a prayer.  So she was a shaman.  If the totem hadn't given it away then certainly the tabard that she wore that marked her as a member of the Earthen Ring.  This group seemed to have quite a few people that were blessed/cursed with magic in some shape or form.  But, as with Mora, Jake couldn't help but tilt his head slightly to the side to examine Ruhzelil more thoroughly.  Even with the tabard and robes, he could see that the draenei was pretty well-endowed at her chest.  She was sitting down so he couldn't see the rest of her but Jake would be on the lookout later on.<br/><br/><i>Hm, maybe it won't just be treasure that I'll be lucky with,</i>Jake thought humorously.<i>We have a good ratio here, I'd figure that I have a good chance.</i><br/><br/>He forced himself to focus, especially when Erma questioned about the time they were to leave.  This Jake voiced his opinion on with, "I'd say the morning.  Get a good night's sleep in a warm bed." He gave a pointed glance to Etheda, remembering his own questions, and gave him a shrug. "We don't know when we'll get another chance to do so once we start this.  Get some food," another pointed glance, this one at Mora, "rest, and supplies for the trip."<br/><br/>Due to his previous lifestyle, Jake was already pretty much set to go.  He kept his baggage light and only carried the necessities; his weapons, potions, food, and waterskin.  He carried it all in a single backpack that was currently in the room that he was renting here.  But while he had already spent a day in Goldshire, he figured that some of the others had just came here and probably from a greater distance so a rest period for the night would probably do them all good.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
