RYUUNA<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">"I don't know, can I trust you? Do you bite? Is it some kind of trick? These are questions it would do a man well to know the answers to before he sits at a table with an attractive young woman."</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>I raised an eyebrow,<em>you're a little forward...</em><br/><br/>As he approached I looked up at him,<strong>"You have a smooth tongue sir, though flattering strangers may not be wise. I would not say I was attractive, unless a simple peasant life appeals."</strong>He had reached my table, I tried to hold his gaze but he was so tall it was making my neck hurt.<strong>"Come. Sit. I am sure one such as you has been spoken to before by strangers, a man who can make judgements quickly. Travellers need to."</strong><br/><br/>He was smiling a lot, I was unable to decide if it was an expression that suited him or not. Then he sat down.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">"So what is it you would like to know? I am for the most part an open book."</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>I sipped tea.<strong>"It is not anything of importance. You were sat alone. I was sat alone. Breakfasting without conversation is dull, I find."</strong>I looked over the side of the table at his feet and nodded in that direction,<strong>"I noticed your boots. They are clean for the most part. You have not come far from your quarters this morning, yet you are not local either. Did you stay at the inn last night? Or camp outside the village?"</strong><br/><br/>I put down my empty cup and in a flash Brienne, Todd's oldest daughter appeared as though from thin air and offered refills. I thanked her. Todd and Susan seemed to produce comely daughters at the speed a training camp produces soldiers. I wondered that either of them had time left over to run the tavern.<br/><br/><strong>"Oh. My apologies, forgive me. I am Ryuuna, I live here. Local herbalist,"</strong>I said to my companion as I turned my face up to him and inhaled the sweet steam from the fresh tea.<br/><br/>(http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk137/HaibaneR/Ryuuna_Avatar_03.jpg)
