Lilium stayed silent, Allowing Talia to speak her mind and her business. While knowing nothing about any of them Lilium could nearly instantly peg their personality. The two taurs clumsy and foolish, Far to impressed by their own size they allowed their ego to constantly cloud their judgment. Talia, Someone who had skill in their profession and had earned rank through it. This…was going to be quite the fun morning.<br/><br/><blockquote><div><cite>Kitts wrote:</cite>"So." Talia begins, slipping up onto one of the stools beside Ureck, Sherani, Calia, and Spike "Here I am. Commanded to aprehend the lot of you, but it seems to me that - unless you are guilty of something - you were gone when I got here. If you are guilty of something...you are coming with me. Either willingly, or inside of me. Your choice." She certainly seemed confident, despite her size. Something was not quite right...<br/><br/>"Now...tell me. What, exactly, happened last night. As far as I know, a fight broke out. A cook was killed. The attackers have either been..." Her eyes lock on Sherani's stomach for a brief moment "...Dealt with, or escaped." Here, her intense gaze focuses on Lilium.<br/></div></blockquote><br/><br/>Stepping forward as Talia takes a seat Lilium does the same. “There are no guilty parties here I assure you. Those that attacked last night were forced to flee. Unfortunately we were not able to save everyone…” Lilium sighs, Looking downward remembering Vincent’s sorrow. Recomposing herself Lilium continues “Those that attacked last night were hired by Lesik. I’m sure you know of him…he has his dirty little fingers in nearly everything in this area. I can only assume he was looking to capture a few of us to either sale or make slaves” Liliums words were calm and relaxed. Having no reason to fear Talia as none within the inn were guilty.<br/><br/><blockquote><div><cite>Kitts wrote:</cite>One of the foxtaurs - the seemingly more brash female - growls under her breath, her voice booming over Talia's own "I bet they set somethin' up. Paid off a bunch of low-lifes to attack, just so they could get free room and board from that idiot Vincent. Course, they ate the attackers, so didn't even have to pay them. They get off clean. I say we just eat them and be done with it."<br/></div></blockquote><br/><br/>It wasn’t until the foxtaur referred to Vincent as an idiot that Lilium paid any attention to them at all. Her composure faded quickly as the word “Idiot” escaped the female ones lips. Lilium spoke nearly revealing her fangs “Vincent is the very foundation of this city. It’s taxes from ones such as him that allow your lords to hire simpleton muscle…such as yourself” Liliums eyes focused on the foxtaur, Giving her the glare of a predator with all the murderous intent behind it.<br/><br/>(Intimidate vs foxtaur (1d20 + 13): 7 + 13 = 20<br/>Diplomacy vs Talia (1d20 + 13): 17 + 13 = 30)
