I'm Vanadi.

[ God, but she is making it very difficult to want to keep up this suspicion. He resists, somehow, and nods toward the bar. ]

Take my offer of a drink. We might even enjoy one another's company, you never know.

[bloodandsand]

If you insist. [ Though it's hardly a difficulty, he's very lovely and she's having fun. ] Though I am very much enjoying your company now, you know.

[highborn]

I'm so pleased to hear it.

[ That's a bit dryly, because of course it -- her entire bearing -- is just what a clever conwoman might be trying. It's really very unfortunate how well it works on him. He pushes himself from his seat. ]

Do you have a favorite drink, or shall I surprise you?

[bloodandsand]

Anything but wine, please dear.

[ And she blows him a kiss in thanks. And if the dryness passes her by, well... That's his fault for assuming. ]

[highborn]

[ Anything but wine it is. He's back shortly with two drinks in hand -- he hardly knows what they are, some local recommendation from the tender. But they are a pleasant amber color, and he holds hers out with a rejuvenated smile. A bit of time away has done his ever-present paranoia good. ]

Here you are, Poesia. [ He slides back into his seat, already sipping at his. ] Poesia, from ... ?

[ Not that it's likely to mean anything to him, but it's a place to start. ]

[bloodandsand]

[ She returns the smile easily, taking the cup and a subsequent drink. ]

You are a dear! [ And the answer to the question comes easily enough: ] Nevarra. Nowhere I could pinpoint on a map, I'm afraid, our little community was rather deep in the mountains.

[highborn]

Ah, well, pinpointing on a map would mean little to me, I'm afraid. Mountainous is a touch more helpful — I'm from the mountains, originally.

[ If you can even call it that, his city was so developed as to hardly even count as mountain anymore. It saw snow more often and had a lot of hills, that was the gist of it. ]

Do you miss it?
