<div class="floatright">(http://i.imgur.com/8niWq5o.jpg)</div>A large part of the reason that Doryn enjoys spending so much of his free time at the Dew Drop, of course, is the simple fact that you never know exactly who is going to be coming through the door. The modestly well-off Inn, tucked away in one of the most well-travelled sections of the Merchant's Tier just a short walk down from one of the grand staircases that provides access to the Noble's Terrace, the Dew Drop attracted folk from many different walks of life...<br/><br/>...he wasn't, however, expecting to see Lord Ethirdir Talion walk into his favorite little watering hole, however.<br/><br/>Two young, attractive somewhat-recently-minted Nobles who both had reputations as scandalously profligate with the wives and daughters of the upper classes... and, well, just about anyone else who was attractive enough to capture the wandering eye of either man. They weren't friends, and they didn't really<em>know</em>each other, but Doryn certainly knew<em>of</em>Ethirdir and respected the Merchant-Lord's wealth and especailly his taste in women. The latter demonstrated most especially by those occasions when they'd find themselves at the same social event, chasing after the same woman,-- competing for her affections. Really, it's the kind of thing that could create enemies of men in different circumstances, but Doryn didn't take his conquests particularly seriously and enjoyed the challenge. The impression that he'd gotten, on the handful of occasions when they'd found themselves in such competition, was that the Elf Lord rather enjoyed the added challenge.<br/><br/>"Meerika," he said softly, getting the attention of his fair-haired companion. "Head down to the booth where Lord Tallion has sat himself and offer to let him join me at my table. I'll even buy the wine."<br/><br/>It didn't really occur to him, not in the moment that he made the offer, that offering the invitation would result in the Elf meeting Hani...<br/><br/>...if it had, maybe he wouldn't have extended the offer, for as much as he tried to keep her at arm's length...<em>well</em>.. Maybe he wouldn't have extended the offer.
