Kharali, it seems, it busy trying to get the barmaid to cast her eyes her way just by looking very hard at her, though whether she just wants a drink, food, or something more... substantial doesn't show on her face, which, at the moment, has a most serious cast.

Three, four years... It really is hard to keep track when one wanders the planes and not the world one was born in."<br/><br/>The swordswoman's voice is soft as she speaks, and, just from her manner, it's clear she doesn't want to be heard by anyone not at the table, and would prefer that Eliza keep the information confidential.
