(http://www.kt.rim.or.jp/~shinno/makoto-hakama.jpg)<br/><br/>Ledaal Tekoru sat across the low table gossiping, as he had for the past hour, and seemed fully capable of going on for another three.  The older man had aparently been all over parts of creation she'd never been two, fought in seven wars, and had absolutly nothing to say about any of it.  He seemed to think she was intrested in the household scandals of obscure outlying provinces she'd never been too.<br/><br/>They didn't even have the decency to be any difrent from the one's that happened at home.
