Tonight, however, things took a curious turn. Her father went back into the kitchen to facilitate clean up for the evening, and Hani sipped a glass of wine. She smiled when Merci let her know that Doryn had come in. She was not expecting the Knight Captain, but she was always glad to see him. Grinning with anticipation, she slipped into the kitchen to use the back stairs to go to her room.<br/><br/>There she changed into her white silk blouse and tightly laced black velvet corset. A full skirt with a delightful black and silver pattern went on next, then she slipped on her high heeled black boots. This was a carefully put together outfit, designed to wow Sir Doryn, and anyone else who saw her. This time of the night, it was the entertainment that kept the customers coming in, and Hani was feeling frisky enough to dance. Forgetting her aching feet for the time being, she fixed her hair to let the long red waves cascade down her back. A repair to her make up and refreshing of her lipstick, and she grinned at herself in the mirror. Not forgetting the spritz of rose water and rinsing her mouth out with a mint infused water to make her breath sweet, she bounced out of her room and down the steps to the upper balcony.<br/><br/>There was a moment when she paused to gaze over the customers below, so she would not seem too eager. To her surprise, she saw Meerika talking to an Elf. Not just any Elf, but the stunningly handsome Lord Talion! When had he decided to grace the Dew Drop Inn? Hani was stunned for a moment and forgot that she had been heading for Sir Aelland's table. It was when she noticed the pin on Lord Talion's jacket that she nearly lost it. He is the one who would be looking at the basilisk heart? This was most interesting...and a bit concerning. She could not openly talk to the Elf with Sir Aelland around. He might know of her illicit activities, but he never mentioned them, preferring to ignore it as inconsequential.<br/><br/>Biting her lips in consternation, Hani turned to glance at Sir Doryn, and smiled. She would get through this...she had to remain calm and just be herself. Strolling over to his table, she smirked. "Can't stay away from me, hmmm? You know the whole town is gossiping about all your conquests. It is fun to spread the gossip. Tell me, who are you after tonight? Some scoundrel who is trying to incite the Merchant's Guild to boycott the Elven Market?"  Sashaying around the table to come around behind him and whisper into his ear. "Or maybe you are looking to entice Mercedes into your bed?" Her hands rested on his shoulders as she gently began massaging those tense muscles. She knew he would tease her in return. It was the subtle game they played.<br/><br/>Her mind shifted to trying to figure a way to talk to the Elf without Doryn knowing about it. "Are you here for business or pleasure tonight, my handsome Knight? Would you like me to arrange a private room for you?" At least that way she could slip out and speak to the Elf. She would have to offer the same to the Elf of course. Or at least let him know it was she who needed to meet with him privately.
