Leanna nodded, then stood.<strong>"I'll return shortly."</strong>She informed the other two.  She turned to leave, then paused and glanced at Lia.<strong>"I'm going to talk to the squire, see what else you can find out."</strong>With that, she headed out the door and into the tavern.  Once she was there, she searched for the dwarf, then plastered a false smile on her face and wandered over to him.<br/><br/><strong>"Buy a girl a drink?" </strong>She asked as she took a seat next to him.<br/><br/>Lia waved off her friend, then returned her attention to the blacksmith.<strong>"Oh, I'm sure they can't be that bad.  Surely you know more about them?  And tell me more about the elf?  Please?"</strong>She had a bright smile on her lips.
