Is the book interesting?

Permalink

She notes her companion's interest and the gnome's nervousness, and mediates the interaction.

Between the Fifth and the Final: Climbing the Mountain

He describes his investigative reporting in Celestia, blending in amongst the locals and his full immersion in the experience...he goes on as long as they allow him, or until they buy the book.

Stop talking, gnome. She wants it.

Permalink

He thanks her graciously and suggests that she read that instead of ever visiting, poor thing, and he's off. 

Permalink

"...Are you planning a trip to Celestia?"

Permalink

"Of course not. But if I ever wind up there, I would prefer to know more, rather than less."

Permalink

"Fair enough."

Her safe house isn't too much farther.

Permalink

The sounds of the city don't get quieter; as long as they move through the public space, there is someone watching and listening.

Nobody follows them, though. Small mercies.

Permalink

It's one floor of a slightly run-down residential building.

"Not much, but it's home." From time to time.

Permalink

"Charming."

Permalink

"Right, so I've actually got to go run a few errands. Bed's over there, there's food in cupboards. You going to be all right if I leave you here for a while?"

Elatra waves the book at her and wanders off to find a comfortable spot to read in.

Permalink

"Great! Don't wait up."

Back into the city. She needs to go make sure Anika hasn't left yet. She doesn't think she would've, but still. Better check.

Permalink

She receives fewer odd looks now that she's not accompanied by a tiefling.

People ignore her, going about their days. 

The rain picks up. 

Permalink

Now, where's Anika likely to be? Somewhere inside, assuredly. She'll try the pits first.

Permalink

The bouncer demands that she pay the fee, unless she'd like to participate.

Permalink

Not tonight. Here's the money.

Permalink

The minotaur lets her pass, then. 

The seats are as full as they're going to get. Tonight's matches are expected to be less competitive then usual, but there will still be plenty of blood, so they still have some eager audience members.

Permalink

Easier to see if her quarry is among them.

Permalink

There's the redhead, down in the front rows. She cheers a particularly well-struck blow.

Permalink

Sefi heads down that way, and waits for a break in the action.

Permalink

Does one of the fighters collapsing on his severed leg count as a break in the action?

The audience cheers and jeers as the fight ends abruptly.

Permalink

She leans forward and taps Anika on the shoulder. "Hey."

Permalink

"Wha- Oh! Hi, Sefi. What're you doing here?"
