Priapus and Idiah (and Merian and Aldan),
~Idiah thinks:
~scarf scarf munch crunch scarf, glug glug glug, scarf munch munch!
~with mouth full: "Mmm...gud fud..." munch munch gobble.
~carefully sips his soup~
"hmm not bad, could you please pass me the salt?"
Idiah looks up from her plate
"Mumph?"
A salt cellar right on the table? This is a far finer establishment than any I've stayed at before! Her eyes wander over to the half-ogre near the bar...But I guess they don't have to worry about any theives for customers with that big one over there!
~she passes the salt to Priapus.
"know him, I couldn't reach up and scratch his ankle"
Kael enjoys his meal, drinks his wine, and watches the crowd.
Brother Seamus, do you ever miss the food from below?
~After stuffing her face, Idiah leans back. A strange expression crosses her face.
She grins. "'Scuse me."
"ahh how adorable"
Idiah turns to look at the newcomer.

Idiah is careful to not stare at Lord Granger. Hmm... so he is one of those kind of gentlemen. The not-gentle-at-all kind.
"We got him home safe and sound. Thanks for being concerned, it shows a bit of heart coming from someone as noble as yourself."
Idiah gives the lord an obviously appraising eye. Her look says, You're not all that, even though she would never actually SAY that to his face. She scoots her chair closer to Tess' in a show of sisterly solidarity.

Idiah, (And Priapus, Aldan. and Merian)
~Tess gives you a warm smile that abrubtly turn to ice as her head turn~ Oh damn!!! That highborn bastard is headed this way! ~Tess looks at all of you, almost pleading, but expecting the worse~ I had hoped that you would get to know me better before the truth about what I once was came out. Unfortunatly, HE will not give me the time. ~she sighs sadly, a look of fearful resignation on her face and then speaks softly~ I was once a prostitute and a pickpocket when I was younger. ~she seems almost to tears~ If you want me around and want to know more, then I will tell you everything. ~she gives a bitter smile and tilts her chin towards Lord Granger~ But he will not let things lie. I am sorry.
~She remembers the captain back in Isger, and thinks: This bar maid and I are in the same boat, vis a vis vengeful men.
Idiah whispers to Tess
~she slides her chair away from the table, ready to spring to her feet if it looks like there will be trouble.
Looks up and winks across the room to Kael (the only other gnome here) and watches the steady approach of the Lordship.
"so much for my lunch."
Gm Sharoth
If I am on the side of the noblemans approach I will subtly trip him when he gets up to us, If I am not I will advance stick out my hand and say...Well whatever comes to mind at that moment, probably something nonsensical, such "Hey, are you part Gnome on your mothers side, 'cause you look like your from clan moronsayswhat?"
either way I will attempt to bluff my way out of any problem please let me know what checks to make or if I even get the chance to try.
Lord Granger Flitwick walks over to Idiah's table, an arrogant smirk on his face. "Well now, if it isn't the copper piece whore!" he leers at Tess. " It has been a while. Shall we slip out back? Maybe you can show me a good time?"
Tess' head is down and you can barely see some tears streaming down her face, but you do see her hands balled up in rage.
To Kael, in Undercommon: "By the looks of that woman's companions, I suspect His Lordship is kicking a stalactite."
Aldan comforts Tess as she cries, and says softly "I'm not interested in your past, my interest sits with me here now." He smiles at her.
"Sir," he says to Lord Granger, "I don't know what kind of assumptions you have about this lovely lady, but you should treat her as just that.. a lady. Now if you have some issue you wish to resolve, I believe you'd do well with the palm of your hand. Please leave us, you're upsetting our meal."
Idiah and Priapus,
Well now, if it isn't the copper piece whore! ~he leers at Tess~ It has been a while. Shall we slip out back? Maybe you can show me a good time?
Merian, who has been maintaining a pensive silence through the meal so far, suddenly glares at the man in a cold fury. "She's no business with the likes of you, Little John," she snaps. ("Little John" is soldier's slang, and a rather coarse one that Idiah at least is likely to recognize.) "You of all people should realize that a person's past shouldn't hang on them forever - after all, I assume that you haven't always been a pig."

*Idiah snorts with laughter*

Kael smiles, returns the wink from the gnome, gestures with his wine glass to "come on over" to the gnome.

"Actually, Kael, this may work to our advantage."
For Kael
"They rise to the woman's defense, which does them credit, but lo, they all mock His Lordship. He is the proverbial pile of guano wearing fine silks if ever I did see one, but he is dangerous nonetheless.
"Had they answered his slurs with a challenge over her honor, he could accept or decline as he would wont, with no loss of face. But now, he must needs challenge them, and his vanity wilt not be vouched safe lest he wins.
"Hangest thou back, my friend, to let them draw his wrath. And then, we shall play this Lord Flitwick."
