Her hand is tracing of the intricate tattoos that the man proudly displays on his chest. A few of you caught a glimpse of him in battle and you noticed he was deadly with his cutlass and wickedly jagged dagger; there was one point where he seemed to loose control in blood lust when the captain was nicked by the enemy.

It is somewhat strange being on the street at night considering the shadow beasts use to rule the evenings. for the most part the streets are deserted....old habits are hard to break it would seem...but you do see an occasional shop light still on. One shopkeeper even recognizes you rushing up to hug Andrea. "Well you are a sight for sore eyes. Is it really true those nasty beasts are gone from the night" She gives you and the then the group a once over, "YOU definitely need a good scrubbing and well, grooming." She huffs. "With all this turmoil, it's been terrible for business. Simply atrocious."
"Oohh, can we do my nails to match my lips then?" "Certainly!" Meanwhile the girl who is tending to yours, face sort of squishes up when she realizes there dried blood under the nails. Earning every cent of the tip.

Lady Pennington directs, "I'm sure you have story to tell!" She rushes over to Andrea to escort her to some treatment chambers.

There is someone fussing with yoru hair while another girl is doing yoru finger nails, scraping the blood and goo from under them, and a third girl scrubbing you feet."he has the most potent drinks in the city." Buffing, cutting , scraping and shaving away for what seems like an eternity. "How is Thesling?' "Oh, did you hear that the Missepe family is off the 'Party' list. Lady Bobby Jo Dioso was saying that the other day. Something about the family being cursed with ill luck nobody wants to be near them."
Lucrezia you are recognized when you go into the saloon, "Oh my, oh my hte ladies begin to fuss. Come here dearie let us begin right away. Oh, can we get you some wine do share all the gossip about how Orsin and Thesling. They are sooooo dreamy?" A pause as one girl brings you wine and fruit.
