Brishah replied with a wry smile, shaking her head in amusement. "All tales have some truth to them, though, do they not? It's all a matter of <em>where</em>."<br/><br/>At Krum's compliment Brishah laughed once more, long and hard. Though it no longer drew quite the same stares that it had before, that was due more to the area around the pair having cleared out than any particular acceptance amongst the Akhetani. Shaking her head, she finally managed to get some words out. "You flatter me, Crooked Crane, you truly do. But appearances can be deceiving - a blade might look ready for battle, only to snap at its first use."<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">At 2016-01-03 11:11:39, Winter King (uid: 47759) rolls: 8d10 tn1: 7 tn2: 10 Result: 1 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=83955)<br/>Rolled Perception+Awareness, spending 4m peripheral as you requested. Unfortunately, it's not quite enough. No worries, though. Brishah heard it.</div></div><br/>Abruptly, she quieted, straightening and looking to the south. "Drumbeats. The wali's begun the ceremony, then." Her smile grew peculiar, becoming an expression fit more for a great cat that had spotted prey than a woman. "Trouble's afoot, no doubt. You can feel it in the air. Look." She gestured towards the west, where a number of people were moving northwards from the Plaza. "They see where it is going."<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>"True", Krum shrugged. "Then again, I've seen more people killed by rusty blades that looked ready to snap, than people dead because their blades snapped in the wrong moment..."<br/>He looked in the same direction as she pointed to.<br/>"The wali? What would he be up to? Ah well, doesn't matter", he threw back his head and laughed, too - hard, like Brishah, though not nearly as long.<br/>"Trouble, you say. And now we two are going to do the sensible thing, and run towards it, right? It's sensible for warriors. After all, isn't that what we exist to do?"
