[color=a187be][I]So he's interested in Sophie.[/I][/color] An odd-placed smile crept on the lips of the pixie as she got ready to give Slick the details on his potential mate. She wondered why he wanted to know about the others but quickly figured that Slick saw them as competition… or even other options! [color=a187be][I]I cannot let Sophie lose Slick![/I][/color] Her giddy face had gone serious as she aimed to be a successful matchmaker. The small creature was wholly determined.

Despite being caught in the paws of his friend, Alette liked Slick so far even if she tried not to show it. He’d gotten her food, was heavy on the compliments, and his friend just apologized for accosting her. Still, to her he had a funny way of speaking. It reminded her of how some Orcs didn’t speak like the other races, but even compared to those greenskins, Slick’s manner of speech was different. 

The stranger to Avalia wasted no time digging into his breakfast while he waited for Alette to provide information. Unfortunately, the pixie was thinking of what she should say. She had to make Sophie look really good, but not over-sell her either. Then there were the others…

[color=CA6F1E]“The food is excellent, but why do we still wait here? Shouldn’t we join your friends, as she, [i]the princess,[/i] requested?”[/color] Leaf suddenly spoke up, drawing Slick’s attention as he chewed on a bacon strip. With a raised eyebrow, the frontiersman gulped down the crisp meat.

[color=tan]“Good question. And I can provide an even better answer.”[/color] He shoved a forkful of eggs into mouth, but continued speaking. He kept one of his cheeks full of egg so he could speak clearly with a mouthful. [color=tan]“The lady over there wants us to join, and we absolutely will, [b]but[/b] we ain’t doin’ such a thing till I know who’s over there…”[/color] Slick briefly shook his head at Leaf. [color=tan]“Bein’ too hasty won’t do us any good. The lady may be friends with the one in the green, sure,  I get that but there's still so much more we can find out before we head on over. Those folk over yonder, they ain’t friends of mine nor are they friends of yours. Remember that.”[/color] Slick went back to chewing his eggs and in the same moment, the fruit bowl was set down at the table.

 [color=a187be]“Finally! Hahahahha! It looks sooo good. And it’s all mine?”[/color] 

[color=tan]“That’s right. But before you go and dig in…”[/color] Slick looked down at his shoulder and directly at Alette who looked back with wide eyes. The man had not shown any aggression in his features, but the way he addressed her was eerily intimidating. Like an odd mixture of charm and expectation. 

[color=a187be]“Right! Well uh… Sophie is first. She’s young, very beautiful, and nice. I could tell by the way she was staring at you that it could only be love at first sight! And I think you would like her very much! She doesn’t nag or yell, so you don’t need to worry about an annoying mate. She even makes her own delicious food… uh… strawberry coated grain crackers! She’s very easygoing and pretty. Sophie is much better than the rest! Caelan is the male sitting next to her and he doesn’t compare to you at all!”[/color]

[color=tan]“Is that so?”[/color]

[color=a187be]“Yes! He’s too thin and smells of the stinky plant that makes people act silly. He tried to hold her hand today, but Sophie denied that weirdo! Good for her for saving herself for a mate like you!”[/color]

[Color=a187be]“Then there is Nuallán who is just a boring ugly elf. He has white hair so he's way too old for Sophie! And he's always looking the other old elf woman up and down. I bet they're secret mates or something which is just gross because they're so old! Ugh!”

“Oh and Jomari. That one that's smiling at the big green monster! He whines and whines and whines and whines about everything! He's so rude that even the loving and caring Sophie hates him. She won't admit it, but it is very true. She told me.”

“Rosaria. Hm. She is pretty but Sophie is much prettier. You can't tell by looks but she's a granny! She's old and…”[/color] Alette was having a harder time making Rosaria seem bad. The princess had been so kind to everyone, even Jomari. [Color=a187be]“She has… She has… the biggest ears I've ever seen!  Just look at them! She might be a princess, but she's an old big eared one. She probably isn't even able to bear babies anymore unlike Sophie.”[/color] Now the pixie was pulling out all of the stops.

[Color=tan]“Rosaria… Now why'd I think it was Rosarita?”[/color] Slick muttered to himself.

[Color=a187be]“Oh and I can't forget [I]her[/I]. Aurora. She can't see… and it's from a disease that's contagious! If you don't want to be blind too, you should stay away from that one no matter how nice and pretty she seems!”[/color] Like Rosaria, Alette struggled with Aurora and just decided to make something up entirely so Slick would just stay away from her.

Slick had been chowing down while listening to some of the slander being told by Alette. It was interesting, but seemed more like gossip than anything. He quickly addressed Leaf who wouldn't be as biased as the little one on his shoulder 

[Color=tan]“Hey Leaf, you got [I]some[/I] sharp senses. You pick any of that up from them since we've been here?”[/color] Slick asked  while making a hand motion at the fruit bowl, signaling that Alette could go on and eat to her heart's content.
