As Liaena stowed away her dart gun, Sharon let out a low groan at the strange looks they were receiving from the rest of the room.

Fortunately, the slumbering Lithrielle did a good job in attracting a fair bit of viewers herself. The tiny Bella she had been holding earlier was nowhere to be seen, lost as she was somewhere under the large, purple Night Elf now laid out across the floor.

[i]"I am still not sure which woman Liaena holds the least affection for... Thea or Bella?"[/i]

“It could wait until later of course if you want to accompany Rune, but time is of the essence”

"I do believe I'll be quite available." Sharon would be quick to reply, bowing in return to Thea. Turning to look at Liaena, he gave her a smile and a small nod.
"Long have I admired the hospitality of the church, Priestess Thea, and your welcome only honors that tradition of generosity. Sharing my side of the story is the least I can do in return."

From the time he had known Liaena, he knew that her laboratory sessions tended to be mostly a one-woman venture. Though he carefully respected her skills as an alchemist, and despite his own record of dangerous adventures, Sharon had found it difficult to muster the courage to be in any laboratory of Liaena's for any length of time. Bandits and beasts were somewhat predictable. As was his Death Knight brother to some degree. But Liaena's potions... light only knew when they might blow up!

"Go ahead with the alchemy, Liaena. I will ensure to have a proper meal ready for when you return." Sharon said as he looked over at Liaena, before the smaller High Elf would lean over, giving her a gentle kiss before whispering.
"[i]A proper meal, not church rations.[/i]"

The church might be many things. A place of worship. A sanctity of safety. A temple of tranquility. A rescuer of the soul... but was there one thing Sharon had learned, then rescuing a proper steak from being overcooked or from high-quality meat being wasted in a cheap soup was not among their many virtues!
