Draco smiles coldly and returns to the table. "Quite a group they are..." he (Draco) wondered aloud. "Indeed." Ally agread. The man with the hood took the drink from Draco and drained it. "Now for my reason of coming," started the man still in a low voice. "I have to give you this for safe keeping." he pulls a small package from his robes and sets it on the table. "As you know its not safe with me anymore. I'm afraid I'm getting to old.." the man informed them. "But my Lord, your not THAT old are you? I mean...." Draco stopped at the sight of Ally's glare. "What he means is your not as powerless as you think your are, but we will gladly take 'it'." Ally corrected the sentence that Draco would have lost his life for. "Thank you my dear..." (*cough cough cough*) the man said starting to shake with uncontrolable coughing. "Lord?" Ally asked worridly. A glass of water suddenly appears in her hand and she gives it to the hooded one. He drains that too and his coughing lessens.

[PoodiePie]

The internesting (in every sense of that word!) group have fallen into private discussion too. Paine listens to her companions but watches Draco's group. She sees the package change hands... and feels her curiosity pique Now where'd that water come from? She looks over to the bar... The Al-Bhed man is still in the store room... She looks back over at her table. A small look passes between her and Baralai. Nooj catches it but is unable to inconspiculously turn and look at Draco's table. So he stays put.

Gippal doesn't notice Baralai and Paine watching the table nearby closely. He contiunes leading the discussion and gesturing with his hands to highlight his points, "Then there was this...E tuh'd ghuf... dude, I suppose, and he's up here near this ledge. There's another one, pipsqueak of a guy, over here near that hill we saw. I think they're both waiting for... Hey, what you all looking so glum for!"

All three startle and tune back into Gippal's discussion.

Sort of...

From the storeroom the bartender returns and seems rather irked that the same patrons are STILL in his inn... but with nothing better to do, and not trusting any of them not to steal, he returns to his post behind the bar.

"Don't do that again..." said Draco as he put his hand over Ally's. Ally smiles but takes her hand from under Draco's and tells him, "Draco don't think I'm not conscious to the others. Sommoning a glass of water for the master is only a small trick, but if you wish I shall not do it again."
"Do you think that might be them?" the man asks. "What?" Draco says in confusion. "That group, they could be the hunters..." the man worried. "Huntrs? Hear? I'm sorry my Lord by that couldn't be possible." Ally thought about it but only denied it to herself.

[PoodiePie]

Nooj says under the conversation of Gippal's, "Did you hear?"

Paine gives a small nod to her table, "I did. Hunters." She looks to Gippal who has suddenly shut up.

Gippal: "Eh?"

Baralai covers the conversation gap and gesters to the invisable map Gippal had been gesturing, "When the party comes down the road, we already know they're going to be vulnerable at the hill and the ledge. One of us should meet the Maesters' entourage..."

Gippal leans back in his chair, "Let Paine do that,"

Paine flicks a look back at him, "I'll be... busy."

He falls back to all four chair legs, "Busy? What could you be busy with?"

Paine draws her finger along the top of her glass, "I'm not a... gunslinger." She looks back up, "Let Captain do it." She smiles wanly, "I'll meet back up with you later."

Gippal crosses his arms behind his head, "Phew! Whatever. Guess I don't get much say for Dr. P. Anyways... Bartender! Are you gonna give us a free refill or are we gonna let it spread how you cheat customers!"

The Al-Bhed man comes over, but a sharp glare resides in his eye.

[foxkimiko]

Ally suddenly relized what kind of a thret the others could be. "They'r listening to us...you don't really think....? No. Maybe they could help? I can feel the power levels." Ally started to get very worried. "Calm down!" Draco was worried too but getting slightly angery. "Sorry...." Ally said weakly.

[PoodiePie]

Nooj waits for Gippal to receive his refill from the ired bartender... and then asks his group, "So are we done for tonight? Everyone know their roles." He receives affirmations, "Then let's head our ways. We'll need the sleep for tomorrow."

Baralai smiles, "Bed already?"

Gippal joins in, "Poor old man! We're up past his bed time! C'mon, Paine, you're gonna stay up, right? Not a party-pooper too?"

Paine scoots back, "Actually..."

Baralai watches Draco's group, "I can stay up with you, Gippal. We'll play cards, or something."

Gippal grins, "Now that the ticket! Who else is in?" But Paine and Nooj both say good night and head down a back hallway beyond the bar. Gippal shuffles the cards ruefully. He sizes up the bartender Naw... that jerk's already p.o.'ed with me... best let him be with what little cash he's got left... For the first time in the evening, Gippal honestly saw Draco's party. Surprise is written on his face until he remembers he DID almost knock someone over when he came in... He waves, "Heya! Pretty missy, dude and gramps! We're gonna play cards and're short players. Wanna join?"

[foxkimiko]

"What harm could it do?" the 'gramps' asked, but not to be a question. The three got up and came over to the other table. "Ok what kind of cards?" Draco asked. Ally said nothing to them but only showed her slightly flushed face.

[PoodiePie]

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you:

Gippal is utterly oblivious that the hooded stranger was anything more than the two's grandpa; and the veiled threat goes over his head. He grins, "Now... that's the spirit! Hey Baralai--how do we get Cap'in and Dr. P to loosen up like Paps here?" Gippal turns back to Draco's party, "I'm Gippal Al-Bhed and this here is Baralai--Saint Bevelle if you can't tell and I was thinkin' maybe euchre or poker... but first you are...?" He leans uncomfortably close to Ally, "And who--uh, pardon me--what has you so peakingly red?"


OOC: Hmmm.... wordcheck isn't happy that I used peakingly... apparently it's another term native to the small village I'm from. But anyways, it's like... tad-bit wrongly... close to that, anyways.

then you win. --Mahatma Gandhi

[foxkimiko]

"Um...well..." Ally's face only gets more red as he nears. "She can get a tadd shy I'm sorry." Draco trys to explain, then answers the previous question, "I am Malfoy, Draco Malfoy; this is Miss Riddle, Ally, and Mr. Riddle." Draco introduces to them.

[PoodiePie]

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you:

Gippal smiles even more broadly as Ally reddens more. He murmurs, "Lida..." And pulls back to listen to Draco. He nods, "Ah, I take it you two are father/daughter... boyfriend/girlfriend? How nice to take your kiddies out on their first date!"

Baralai is stiffenly uncomfortable, "Gippal..." Under his breath he whispers to Mr. Riddle, "I'm very sorry. He's... He's over the line."

Meanwhile Gippal has begun to deal the cards out one by one to each person, "We've got one too many for euchure... and poker's no fun... unless we get rid of Mr. No-Gambling Man--" he indicates Baralai, "So!" With a flourish he deals Ally the last card and a wink, "Let's play hearts."

then you win. --Mahatma Gandhi

[foxkimiko]

"Don't worry, it's kinda funny really; Draco and Ally are more like brother and sister. But I'm afraid I don't get it, way does he use the term 'kiddies' when they are the same age?" the old man says as he watches cards fly from Gippal's hand.
Ally almost couldn't take it, if her face was any more flushed it would be more red than an apple. She was terrible with men most of the time unless she was on stage performing; most of the time she was with Draco who did pretty much whatever she wanted him to.

[PoodiePie]

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you:

Baralai mutters back to Mr. Riddle, "It's Gippal for you... he calls me 'old man' but I'm two years younger than he is. I'm glad you're not offended, sir." Baralai gathers his cards.

Gippal meanwhile puts the rest of the deck on the edge of the table, "Y'all know how to steal hearts, nekrd?" He gives a sly smile to Draco before turning back to Ally, "Geesh--anymore redder, doll, and you're gonna burn my cards! Maybe you need a drink; Rao! Pyndahtan! Tnehgc ymm ynuiht, uh sa!"

The bartender brings over a drink for everyone and Gippal pays.

then you win. --Mahatma Gandhi

[foxkimiko]

Ally quickly grabs a drink and mummers something. Her drink turns purple and she drains it as fast as she can. All the color leaves her face and she returns to normal.
As Ally mummered Draco stepped on her foot and the color had gone purple because he made her say the wrong thing but she still drank it.

[PoodiePie]

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you:

For once, Gippal notices something, "Did your drink just...?! Heh... heh... my eye must be playing tricks on me tonight..."

Baralai has stiffened, "Gippal... if it plays tricks on you, than my own eyes have failed me. Miss Riddle, your drink changed colors just before you drank it. Are you feeling alright?"

then you win. --Mahatma Gandhi

[foxkimiko]

"I'm fine." Ally trys to convice them. "Thats great Ally, you really have blown our cover now." Draco said as he got very mad. "What cover? Draco you've made me hide my power for three years! Can you give it a rest?" Ally stands and starts to raise her voice at him. "Ally, will you shut up?" Draco stands and puts his hand around her neck. Ally starts to feel the lack of air and panics, she grabs Draco's arm and trys to get him off. "Draco...please, let....go..." Ally's blue eyes start to turn grey as Draco crushes he throat. The old man shifts uncomfortably in his chair.
