intro log #6 - city of secrets ( x'rhun )

[flask]

[continued from here]

[Okay, not a tabaxi. But oh shit he knows Cree-- wait no not at all. Nott's face does some gymnastics but she quickly relaxes with relief.]

No, Cree is a lady. And it's pretty good you don't know her, she's bad news.

I guess you probably don't know what I am, then. [...] Which is a halfling. Just a regular ol' halfling over here.

[If he's whatever a miqo'te is, he may not know what a goblin is. Which is both bad for him and good for her.]

[verflair]

[ He tilts his head a bit, but then it clicks for him. It’s not as though Cree is an unusual name, so there is bound to be more than one out there in the great wide array of universes. ]

Ah. Different Crees then. I can’t say the one here is exactly upstanding either, but…

[ A shrug. Every city has their underbelly, and it is no different for Olympia and Wyver. With that little misunderstanding out of the way, he is left to consider his small new friend. ]

You are similar in height to a race of peoples from my home. Lalafells, they are called. But, you are right. I’ve never heard of a halfling before.

[flask]

[She's also similar in height to a halfling, which is the only way this ruse ever works. Granted, it usually works when she's fully disguised herself with magic, but now that people don't know what either a goblin or a halfling is, it works even better.

Not that it particularly needs to, all things considered, but she likes to cover her bases.]

Well. Halflings are great. They're all about my height. So... now you know.

[verflair]

Now I do indeed.

[ It's not like he has a reason to doubt her, beyond his knowledge of her sticky fingers. ]

But I'm certain you've had enough of me on your hair by now. Do try to stay out of trouble, hm?

[flask]

...Yeah. I will.

[What a weird guy.]
