I am sent here by Sir Etron, who wanted me to see you prior to me being taken in as a traveling companion. He mentioned that a good word from you would be proof of my credibility, and so... I am here for what you have in mind."</em><br/><br/>Her eyes glittered with mirth at Miyuki's words, it was almost as if the drow was party to some hidden joke that the bard was not aware of.  But she adjusted in her seat and poured another glass of water, drinking it while she appraised the bard carefully.  Once finished she held out the glass and asked,<strong>"I'm sorry I have but the one glass, if you don't mind sharing it you may have some water."</strong><br/><br/>Setting the glass down she stood up and paced, now fully 'dressed' as it were in garments that screamed as her profession as a whore, at least they would back where Miyuki was from.  The dress code in Laelith seemed much more flexible to say the least.  She stopped and turned to look at the bard and said,<strong>"Let me guess, you tried to come off as very proper, while dressed like a whore, and he rebuffed you?  Then you somehow made him give you a second thought, and he said" </strong>Ylene's voice dropped to an imitation of a bassy male voice, nothing like Etron's but the point was clear,<strong> "Oh, I know, instead of dealing with this woman I'll just have her go bother Ylene.  She won't mind, she likes women, hurrr hurrr hurrrr."</strong><br/><br/>She quirked one white eyebrow at Miyuki and asked<strong> "Something along those lines?"  Then shrugging her shoulders and sighing she said, "Why don't you tell me your story then sweet thing, that's the best place to start.  Finish with why you even care what a paladin thinks of you.  I can sense the primal power hovering over your body like a wave of heat.  I'd guess it's been less then a quarter of a day since you had your last really good fucking.  Seems like an odd choice to want to party with a paladin."</strong>
