<div class="floatright">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/d/dc/MorenaRothberg.jpg)<br/>Morena Rothberg (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=291505.msg14316523#msg14316523)<br/>(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/0/0e/PercySocial.jpg)<br/>Percy the parrot<br/></div>Morena smiled delightedly when Landa wolfed down half a scone, and beamed at the compliment. "Thank you! Why, it's a... a scone. I suppose it's about halfway between bread and a cake. No sugar, although of course plenty went into the jam. I imagine you wouldn't have much variety out in the woods. I'd love to cook for you some time!"<br/><br/>She surveyed both Landa and Alcina. "I think you lasses will make fine models. And if there's anything untoward happening, you're sure to get to the bottom of it. Have fun! You'll have to tell me all about it when you're done. Perhaps over tea?"<br/><br/>"Of course I'm sure!" she replied to Brin. "Help yourself!" She nibbled on her own scone as she watched Brin with satisfaction. The tiefling girl looked skinny, although, with the planestouched, it was hard to say what was a "normal" build.<br/><br/>"Yes, it's all self-driven," she explained. "We get a lot of adventurers coming through here, and trying to keep track of everyone and assign jobs to them would be an administrative nightmare. Oh, don't say that, sweetheart. That was a delightful performance you gave, by the way. I was something of a popular dancer back in the day, but nothing to compare to that!"<br/><br/>Morena shuffled around to stand next to Brin, facing the job board. "Well, why don't we take this delivery job? It sounds nice and straightforward, and we'll have plenty of time to chat on the way there and back. I'm not actually an adventurer myself, but for a simple job like this, I wouldn't mind taking a little trip. How does that sound to you?"
