[i]From One to Many[/i]

Vala eased up her tense stance as the others spoke, sounding sincere in their offer of peace. Still, it was best to proceed with caution. She ignored the first new addition to the collective that was gathering in the main hall of this tavern. Instead, she brushed aside the [i]trylle[/i], with the glowing symbols on his flesh, with the shaft end of her spear. Magic was common in her homeland but being a sailor had shown her more of the world than most of her kin, so she knew what it was and what it looked like. Despite the unknown of the strength of [i]trylle[/i], she thought she hadn't much to worry about concerning the others. [color=0072bc]"Fine."[/color] She grumbled as she walked past the conjurer and over the coin that was tossed onto the counter top.

She shot a challenging glance to the man behind the counter as she took the flat side of her hatchet and slammed it just onto the coin before sliding it off and into the partial grasp of her spear-holding hand, inviting the man to go ahead and try arguing for that coin. Even though this place wasn't hers, she felt she had a better claim than the others at least. [color=0072bc]"Help yourselves."[/color] Vala muttered as she continued her progress to the tavern's Hearth, warm with a fresh fire. She tossed her spear into the corner. When she turned around, another had slipped in, draped in a fine, red clothing. Vala sweared that they had to be multiplying now.

The [i]trylle[/i] then spoke about some ridiculous proposition where they run this place like a business. [color=0072bc]"Pff.."[/color] Vala spat at the conclusion of his offer. [color=0072bc]"This place is mine more than anyone's from my count."[/color] Again, she thought she had a better claim than those that wandered in here. However, she had to admit to feeling something at the proposition of fixing the place up. It had only been two weeks but she was finding it comfortable here. [color=0072bc]"Anyway, have you taken a look around? The tavern is a ruin."[/color]
