For someone that spends the majority of her waking moments lying to people and telling half-truths, Shay appreciated the slums of any city. It was in her opinion that if you wanted the reality of a city, then you went to its underbelly. The bartender was especially helpful in giving her a sense of the power dynamics within the underworld. It dismayed her, however, to hear that it was rumored that the thieves guild worked for someone as high profiled as the Duke himself. "And what if a freelance wealth re-distributor were wanting to operate independently in the city long-term?" Shay hoped the barkeep understood her more flowery, almost legitimatizing phrase for 'independent thief'. "What would your advice be?" Shay was expecting the best advice would be along the lines of<em>not</em>staying independent, and much to her chagrin.<br/><br/>Of course, they were interrupted by a...oh jeez, wow. Shay wouldn't be ashamed to say that she saw the blonde's breasts before her face, but she did. The thief glanced down briefly at her own and nodded reluctantly. Yep, the blonde's were bigger. Of course, Shay noted the holy symbol and instantly thought,<em>Oh, no no no, please don't associate yourself with me and oh why did you just say where I was staying?!</em>Shay was in the process of scooting away when the blonde made her announcement. Looking from the freshly poured glass to the blonde, Shay's lips did crack into a smile. The fastest way to a slum dog's heart was through her taste for fine spirits. Shay picked up the glass and clinked it against the side of the blonde's. "Cheers," Shay returned. She drank deeply of the blue liquid, savoring whatever flavor the it held before setting down her glass.<br/><br/>"Titania," Shay said, holding her hand. If the woman was staying at the Paladin's Rest, then Shay should stick to the name--too many given out names always caused trouble later on in her experience. "How does a holy person find herself in the Sailor's Ghetto, if you don't mind my forwardness?"<br/><hr/>Bluff: 19, 20 if the blonde is attracted to Shay (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=60094)
