<table class="bbc_table"><tbody><tr><td>(http://i.imgur.com/CoO739k.jpg)</td><td>It wasn't easy to both anger and at the same time shame a paladin, but it was something Ylene could add to her impressive resume.  The commander both grit her teeth, her jaw clenching tight as she simultaneously looked downwards.  Her body language spoke to Ylene as plain as a block printed sign.  She didn't doubt that she had lost an opportunity here, but at the same time she hadn't burned any bridges.  The commander would remember her for certain, but she'd also remember that Ylene felt she'd been treated disrespectfully.<br/><br/>The guardsman led Ylene back out to the street and then leaned in, "Listen, I couldn't hear much, but I know the commander.  There was more there than just a fine, I could tell.  If you really want to try to catch her again, she usually eats her supper around 8th bell in the evening at the Pig and Whistle."  He took one last look at her before turning and going back in the building and added, "Though you might want to find something a little more conservative to wear or a long cloak if you hope to change her mind."<br/><br/>He retreated into the building, leaving Ylene to head back towards her home and go to the mages guild or down towards the rougher docks where the adventurers guild hall was.  Of course this time of day there wouldn't likely be any trouble, not even for a sexy thing like her, save a few whistles, cat calls, and maybe a proposition or two.  She knew the hall was really no more, on the outside at least, then one of the larger taverns on dockside, The Seven Hells.  But the tavern had a large collection of private rooms where the leaders of the guild held meetings and had offices of their own when they weren't up front drinking.<br/><br/>Ylene's trip there was rather uneventful, as people bustled about with their day.  As expected a few cat calls and one or two times she heard her name followed by a wave, or a quick kiss blown from across a bustling street.<br/><br/>But in no time, Ylene had arrived at The Seven Hells tavern.  It was housed in one of the larger chunks of ruins of the ancient city, but they'd done a great job rebuilding around the ruins to incorporate new building.  Entering the tavern made her start to sweat slightly.  The heat inside the building had everything to do with how crowded it was, and more than one person was almost as naked as she while they sat around doing whatever it was they were doing.  For those that were still clothed, light linens and loose robes were the attire of choice.  One wall near the door held a series of cubbys for people to place weapons and armor, though there were a few still wearing each so it was obviously allowed.  Ylene's magical training showed a slight glyph above each cubby, and she had no doubt that there was some sort of security in place to prevent rampant theft of those trusting individuals who divested themselves of their gear upon entering.  Then again, who would be foolish enough to steal from the adventurers guild hall?<br/><br/>The room was not full by a long shot, but most people seemed to be about their own business, and the smell of ale, sweat, and some sort of stew filled the air.  Two waitresses moved around through the crowd and a tall man with a tattoo on his head stood behind the bar.  People didn't really stare at Ylene when she came in, but she was smart enough to know when people were looking out of the corners of their eyes while pretending to mind their own business.<br/><br/>No one approached her however, apparently she was supposed to make the first move.</td></tr></tbody></table>
