Disclaimer: I own my shoes and this lump of cheese on my head. Not much else. Oh, and Rade, I own her too. She's turning into a Mary sue. I will have to stop that. I will stop it now.


Unwanted Attention

"Watch out! Coming through! Excuse me, oh sorry sir, I'm... Aiiiieeee! I'm so sorry! I'll pay for your beer sir..." Rade tried to push her way through the crowd to the counter where Leithian eyed her darkly.

Hmm, she is a very pretty girl, he thought, but very clumsy... Useless as a whore I suppose. I wonder what she could be wanting.

Rade got to the counter and rested her elbows gratefully on the beer stained counter. As she regained her breath she felt a sudden pressure on her behind. She spun around, knocking over three beers and one drunk to see a grinning elf.

"What do you... Did you just... What in the hells?!" The elf moved closer to her, far too close for Rade and took her hand, kissing her knuckles.

"My beautiful bird!" He cried "I am Silvanus and I have been in awe of your beauty since you entered the tavern, and my life. I want nothing more than to hold you close to me and..." Rade blushed and jerked her hand away.

"Look, Mr. Silvanus... I don't know who you are, and I'm flattered and all but..." He grabbed her waist and whispered into her ear; "No more words... Let us go to one of the "Special Rooms" here and..." Silvanus never even finished his sentence, since the combined force of a magic missile and punch to the back of the head knocked him completely unconscious. Anomen massaged his fist and Haer' Dalis blinked to clear the smoke that had formed inside his eyes. They both looked at each other. Lightning flashed. Both where saying to the other 'I did it. I hit him first.' Rade blinked at Silvanus's smoking body. Then at Anomen, ho smiled bashfully, then at Haer' Dalis who winked then went back to his drink. Jan was still cracking up with laughter and Yoshimo was apologising to Minsc for spraying him with ale as he couldn't hold back a laugh at the scenario. Silvanus mumbled something like "Ah, you're spoken for..." before passing out. Rade smiled at all the people looking at her.

"Continue whatever you where doing ladies and gentlemen!" She called, and everyone just continued staring. She hastily moved towards Leithian. She smiled brightly then tripped over her boot laces and fell straigt into him. He merely stepped to the side and let her fall onto the dirty floor. She picked herself up and reminded herself why she shouldn't hit him.

"Sir, would you know of any people who carry this crest?" She handed a piece of fabric she had torn off the attackers from the Umar Hills. The man inspected it then handed it back.

"Well, hrrrm, I believe it belongs to the Moon Knights. I would ask at the Government district if I were you. Is there anything else, or will you be returning to your, hrrrm, friends." He glanced at Haer' Dalis and Anomen who where arguing in lowered voices. Rade sighed.

Government eh?


Sorry the update took so long, but I've been busy.
