The surprise on Miyuki's face was complete when Velma the Human revealed herself before the bard, an embarrassed smile appearing on her exotic features as Miyuki nodded. Upon closer inspection, Miyuki, being brought up in a world of people sharing features such as hers, could appreciate the beauty of this young waitress who happened to be the adopted niece of Flint Thunderaxe, and who happened to be the adopted daughter of Dwalin Thunderaxe.<br/><br/>Of course Vii told Miyuki next to nothing about this, after all, the fun taken at Miyuki's expense seemed to have given a brief smile to several others, and although a slight red seemed to appear on Miyuki's cheeks, she managed a giggle of her own as she took Velma's hand.<br/><br/>Patting on the stool next to her, Miyuki motioned for Velma to take a seat, before having another sip of ale as she allowed the food to cool. From a person whose diet comprised mainly of what she ordered, Miyuki could tell that these were well cooked and prepared. Even the spices were on point, something she looked forward to appreciating in a while.<br/><br/><strong>"Velma Thunderaxe? My name is Miyuki, of clan Konayama. It's a pleasure to meet you."</strong>The bard was smiling, knowing that there were several instances of humans or elves adopting children of other races back home. Rare, but it exists.<br/><br/><strong>"A paladin, Etron is his name, sent me your way in hopes that you might come to... appraise me... before he could make a decision regarding having me as his traveling companion. As you said, I'm new to this place, and I do hope that a trustworthy companion could be found to journey beyond the walls. He recommended me here, and I seek to enjoy whatever you have... in store for me..."</strong>Miyuki said, lowering her head for a moment as she angled her eyes to give Velma a look which bordered between sly and seductive. Miyuki was indeed looking forward to this encounter.
