Palyndra acknowledged the elf's kiss on her hand with a nod of her head and beckoned him to stand once again.? "An elf from Rune Midgard?" she said, raising an eyebrow slightly. "I have seen elves here before, but it's rare to see one from your particular realm." Her seamless blue eyes pored over him, studying him as if she could see deep inside him like he was made of glass.? "This is your first time here, but I can see you've been... busy..." her mouth quirked with amusement as she said the word "... while you've been here. It feels though like you came here not by design but by quirk of fate.? Is there perhaps an interesting story there?"
"As for me, I don't come here all that frequently," the woman said, holding her hand out to the side expectantly.? As if on cue, a staff person appeared, placed a large martini glass in her fingers, and then quickly vanished back into the crowd.? The glass was filled with a vibrantly red liquid that not only glowed but bubbled, giving off its own little cloud of fog that dissipated as it flowed over the glass's rim.? "But I was in a mood this evening, so I thought, why not?" She paused to sip at her glass, drinking in the fog as well as the liquid.? Her eyes met his as she whispered sensually "You meet the most interesting people here, after all."
Palyndra paused, seeming to look up, though without pupils it was hard for anyone to discern what she was looking at.? "It seems someone is looking for you," she said after a moment, returning her gaze to the elf before her.? "Rather intently. Are you expecting someone?" she asked, cocking her head to the side in polite inquiry.
Roue stood up, having to crane his neck to look up.? He suddenly had a curious thought enter his head, wondering if Palyndra could actually shrink so that he didn't have to crane his neck so far back.? However, he didn't feel that it would be proper to voice that out.? Though the way she was looking at him made him feel as if there was nothing to stop her from reading him head to toe.? She proved it too when she mentioned him being busy, and his cheeks immediately flushed, looking away.
"I-I'm not sure what you mean by being busy.? Busy can mean a lot of things," he said a little awkwardly, feeling quite hot in his clothes without warning.? She has to be referring to himself and Rabbit's frenzied coupling.? Why else would she use that word?? IT was embarrassing.? However she mentioned another curious fact.? "Not to rudely catch onto your words, but you specifically said "it's rare to see one from from your particular realm."? Are you familiar with Rune Midgard?? Have you met anyone from there?"? He was quite hopefully about that, because it would at least help answer why he was even able to find this place.
"R-really, I'm not sure what you mean..." he stammered out, the feeling of warmth not dissipating as quickly as he'd hoped it would.? Though he wasn't attracted to women all that much, the way Palyndra breathed out that sentence...well, he was too ashamed to admit that she was one of the few people who could probably get a rise out of him.? From the very beginning that he met her, she's kept him on his toes.? First touch, now sound.? He suddenly felt very disgusted with himself.? And then again she managed to shock him when she spoke about someone looking for him.? He started to feel a cold sweat coming on.
"That depends on whether that someone is looking for me with malicious intent, or a pleasant one," he simply answered, turning to look in the direction that Palyndra's gaze was focused on.? "You haven't failed to surprise me yet...can you tell which it is?? Then I can answer whether or not this someone is whom I'm expecting."? Hopefully good, he thought.? If it was bad, then he was going to have to move on faster than he expected.
