Listening intently to Dan's words impart because it was exactly what he was looking for and two the damned tavern was so loud by now. Though he obliged to turn to see who Dan was pointing at as he mentioned Maria.<br/><br/>Whheeww, MacQuain thought, Blackthorn atleast had very good taste. At least if this conversation turns out to be a bust for information it could be pleasant in other ways.<br/><br/>Half turning back to Dan and nodding, Thank you my friend. You are as always most helpful in finding ways for me to entertain myself. Once again saying one thing and meaning another to good old Dan. MacQuain slipped off the stool and made his way to Maria's side.<br/><br/>Pardon me my dear, but I do believe you've ended up on the wrong side of town. Surely such a radiant, and delicate flower such as yourself belongs in the pampered gardens of royalty and in the base swaller that us common folk find comfortable.
