There's a murmur of chatter that gets louder as the two approach. Is it the murmurs of a malicious plot being hatched? Plans to murder everyone in their sleep? Someone spoiling the final installment of Teren's favorite book series?
Drawing around a corner will reveal that it's much, much worse than any of them: It's Kaisa. Said Warden has been absent hitherto the invitation to wander, having apparently taken that advice soundly and wandered right into the cutest lady Warden Ansburg had to offer, and perhaps get a more personal tour. Get some one-on-one exploring under her belt. Wink wink.
One hand is leaning against the wall right next to said cute lady Warden, and the other has a beer that has been acquired from mysterious and possibly arcane sources. She takes a sip as the other Warden giggles at whatever witty and clever line Kaisa just gave her, and only afterwards notices Alistair and Teren. Her mouth (already pulled into a pretty self-satisfied smirk) twists into a wide grin, and she holds her beer up to them in a mock-salute.
"Hey! There you guys are. Sofie, this is Warden Teren and Senior Warden Alistair, they're great friends of mine, and super amazing to boot." Another little salute, and she turns her attention back to the younger Warden. "Did I tell you about the time that we were neck-deep in the Deep Roads and had to kill an Emissary armed with nothing but a bunch of rocks? Not so much as a sharpened toothpick among us, swear on my mother's grave." At this, she leans closer to her new buddy pal Sofie, now managing to grin and look incredibly self-satisfied. Teren and Alistair are not so much forgotten as relegated to characters in whatever tall tale she's about to spin.
"Kaisa--" Teren begins to protest, but then the girl is talking and it's over. At the very least, Teren feels a little bad that she hadn't noticed her absence at the table, but perhaps it's for the best: if she didn't, nobody else will either, and it will be easier to get her out.
"Hello," she says grimly, looking dead-eyed at Sofie.
