Don't personally think it's a real thing Tavern regulars told him she'd been working every time they'd been there, no matter the day of week or time of day. If it wasn't late night, she was working. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aw, come on... She felt in her robes for the dagger she hid there, in case he did anything stupid. Not that she intended to kill him. But still... @Spark of Hope @WildRye @Through The Living Glass Quote Ma'tani already asked Niamh about the conversation they had, remember? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"They gave me him. Maybe they gave Jolane me." She smiled and shook her head. "Nevermind. That's none of your concern. I'm just someone who likes getting in other people's business, and helping people who never asked for my help. I'm endearing like that." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
