Chapter 3--Trouble
Jaisia and Legolas stopped short, neither of them wanted to draw attention to themselves, but it seemed like they had no choice.
The three men moved closer. "Ye ain't no proper woman, centaur, maybe yer friend is," one said. He lurched forward. "C'mon sweet, take off that hood and let's have us a look."
Legolas sighed. By Elbereth, why are humans so damned crude and pushy when they've been drinking? he thought. He shook his head no.
"Take it off, bitch or are ye ugly?" the Human demanded and lunged at Legolas.
At the last possible second the lithe Elf stepped aside and the Human's lunge carried him past then into a horse trough with an impressive splash. Several people who were watching laughed.

A serving wench took their order then hurried off. This tavern was much different then the other one. It was clean and quieter. As they were eating Legolas frowned. "That person at the back table has been watching us," he whispered.
Jaisia nodded. "We'll have to stay alert just in case," she said.
Just then the small, cloaked figure stood up and walked over to them. "I would be honored if you would allow me to join you," he said.
"Who are you?" Jaisia asked.
"My name is Lightfingers and I know you, Legolas and Jaisia," the figure said. "I also know why you are here in Xandir." The stranger slowly pulled back his hood to reveal that he was…….
