:::She approached them:::
I do not believe I have been in the Brink without the presence of a male occupant....now that I am thinking of it, the two of you are the only females I have met. Are there others?

Thank ye, Nyx.
*to Cora* Aye, there have been a few more that have appeared here. Although, aside from Robyn, not recently . . . at least that I've encountered. *pauses, frowning briefly* Even her I've not seen in some time.

*Bard emerges from the corridor of guest rooms. He looks with surprise at the assembled group*
Well, hello! I didn't expect anyone to be here...

It is odd to think that there is a group of people who come here that I have yet to meet, simply because of circumstance.... Also, I am beginning to wonder about the population at the Brink.
:::She paused just a moment::::
Is it me, or is most of the male population here either demon or monster or a variation of the two...?
:::She hears Maggie mention Bard's name, and turns around:::
Oh, hello Citizen Bard :::she wonders if he was there for her last comment:::

*a man appears sand he staggers forward hands outstretched as if pusing open a door... he glances over to the door that is not there and shrugs.... he is dressed in weather beaten clothes... a wide-brimmed brown leather hat with a side folded as if to accomodate a musket or rifle..... his left eye is covered by an eyepatch and his chin is decorated with a well groomed pair of mustashes and gotee.... a as if a spot of calm around the disorrey of his other dress... his green eye peers around the room lazely for a moment before he pulls himself up strait.. putting a black gloved hand to his chin..*
Well... bugger me! I'm gone for 18 weeks and they change the whole bloody bar.... oh well *he makes a note of the bares other inhabitants with a grin and a tip of the hat then slides behind the bar*
no need for alarm... the owner owes me money... *he says then slides his hand under the bar..... makeing a few sweeping motions.... then a great show of frantic grasping... he then calmly stands up and turns to the barmaid peering at her with his heavy lidded green eye.
The rum's gone....

And you must all have a drink! To celebrate the completion of my first non-romance book.
*he walks over to the bar and searches about for champagne. Instead he find a man in an eyepatch stinking of bad liquor. Bard blinks, unsure of what to say*
Err... hello. Can I... umm... help you?

((The stuff in () may not be true))
"Oh well thats just not fair."
*Aetas was walking towards the small assembly from the direction of the Library (with Malazar in tow) just as Cora had made her statement about the male population. The little nubs of horns he usually has seem almost nonexistant, likely stemming from the fact Tac is drawing evil from him, or has been.*
"I'm not a monster and my avatar usually isn't."

:::Cora suddenly turns her head in three different directions...speak of the devils!:::
:::She looks at Aetas, and just shakes her head, almost smiling to herself:::
:::She then looked at Bard, quite willing to join him in a drink::: Congratulations on your new book, Citizen Bard
:::And finally, she approaches the stranger:::
Good day citizen, I do not believe we have met. I am first rank Officer Cora Serenis from the House of El. Please state your name and status.

that depends you see when I left there was a very fine bottle of barbados rum left for safe keeping and my own personal, and quite subsequent consumption.... so if you can tell me the name of the man who bought... pilfered, plundered or likewise removed said bottle.... I'd be muchly obliged..... more so if you'd point me in his most specific direction... savy?
*the man leans heavily across the bar.. proping himself up inorder to look the other man directly in the eye*

Rum? *Bard blinks. Hasn't this fellow had enough rum? he thinks. He reaches up and pulls a bottle of rum from one of the shelves* There's rum for you, Mr....
