Sterwick Campaign: Inter-Character Dialogue (Low Spam)
Sh'rarn started in surprise. He hadn't expected her to take the news of him being Aasimar so well. "Hmm. I'll get us some drinks...". As he wandered over to the barkeeper, who seemed to be chatting away amiably to the drunken stranger who had approached them earlier, he thought about his current predicament.
He hadn't expected to meet anyone of demonic heritage who was so much...the opposite of what he had expected. 'Tieflings were not to be trusted' his teaching had been, but this conflicted him.
Paying for the two drinks, he returned back to the table where the tiefling was sitting. Handing her a drink he said, "I have nothing against your presence here, so long as you stick to the path of Good. Neither of us are truly human and I am more sympathetic to you because of that. This does not mean I will hesitate to oppose you if you commit an act of evil."

She accepted the drink and attempted a smile, to break the frigid atmosphere. "Fear not, Lady Firehair is my matron and no true follower of hers would commit an evil act, atleast, not knowingly. I have spent my whole life running from my heritage." Giving Sh'rarn a very pronounced look she continued, "Though it seems to find me wherever I flee." She gave a noncommital shrug before again continuing her speel. "I feel no guilt for who I am, the sins of my ancestors are not mine, the blood of innocents does not stain my hands. My blood is an unfortunate turn of fate and nothing more." She took a long sip from her drink, studying Sh'rarn's reaction from over the rim...

Sh'rarn could agree with what she said and his respect for her grew. "Most unfortunate indeed. Why are you in Baldur's Gate though? Especially if you prefer natural surroundings so much."
Giving her a quizzacal look he said, "Surely a ranger such as yourself, would avoid the bustle of a city such as this, unless you have some errand to perform..?"

She set her drink back down on the table, still gipping it with two hands and staring into its murky depths. It was a question that had plagued Tway aswell. Why was she here? Was it some deep seated need for sentient companionship, or some sinister twist of fate. Was she meant to go to this bar, to meet this Paladin, did she honesly have any true free-will. She honestly didn't know. "I honestly don't know" she whispered, nottaking her eyes from her drink...
[QUOTE=Kythras]"Everyone is crazy; Some just moreso than others"[/QUOTE]
He could see her uncertainty. "What are you going to do now?" he asked sympathetically and then sipped his drink. Not that it was a very good drink and generally Paladins avoided such luxuries anyway.
He felt for her situation, but wasn't sure what he could offer to help.
"You could come with me to visit the Red Knight hierophant. Mayhap he will know more about this 'Sterenear'...and how to help you".

Tway looked up from her drink, meeting the Aasimar's eyes, and managed a weak smile. "Yes, perhaps your heirophant will be able to help." Whilst most of the goodly gods had no qualm with other god's followers entering their temples, Tway still felt awkward. Like she was going to a party that she hadn't been invited to. If she went with Sh'rarn then it wouldn't be so bad. "But we would not go at such a late hour, surely most decent folk are asleep by this hour... have you accomodations?" She asked, just a glimmer of hope in her voice...
[QUOTE=Kythras]"Everyone is crazy; Some just moreso than others"[/QUOTE]
"Hmm, yes it is rather late to be visiting the Hierophant. I did book a single room here though. Don't worry I'll still be here in the morning and I won't abandon you".
He wandered back to the barkeep, and asked for another room, it was expensive but he felt he owed it to Twaynith.
Returning to Twaynith, who was still nursing her drink, he smiled and said "I booked you an adjoining room to mine." He then offered to assist her to the room.

She smiled up at the Aasimar warmly and acepted his arm. The touch sent tingles all through her. What was going on? She wasn't quite sure if it was a good thing, but Tway liked it. She could easily have taken the run-down stairs on her own, and though it felt somewhat strange being escorted up to a grotty little room of this second rate in, if Sh'rarn was doing it... who cared?...
[QUOTE=Kythras]"Everyone is crazy; Some just moreso than others"[/QUOTE]
Sh'rarn escorted the lady up the stair and around the corridor to her room, "I hope you get a good sleep Twaynith and I'll see you in the morning". He kissed the back of her hand and went to the door of his own room, opening it and entering.
It was sparse, but nothing beyond a Paladin had need of. A bed and a little table beside it and a shuttered window.
He then removed his armour and lay under the covers of the hard bed. Tomorrow was to be a busy day and he needed the rest. He soon fell asleep.

Tway nearly fainted when Sh'rarn kissed the back of her hand. She practically fell into the doorway and muttered something she hoped was 'good night.' She wasn't quite sure how she managed to get into bed, but she didn somehow. Sune would be beaming if she was watching Tway flounder like a fish out of water. Eventually the Tiefling fell into a dreamless sleep, her mind filled with thoughts of the Aasimar only a few feet away...
[QUOTE=Kythras]"Everyone is crazy; Some just moreso than others"[/QUOTE]
When Sh'rarn awoke light was streaming through the slats of the shuttered window. Wondering what time it was he quickly got dressed and went outside. He knocked on Twaynith's door but there seemed to be no-one inside. Curious, he wandered down the stairs and saw her absently picking at her breakfast. She smiled at his approach...

Tway had woken with a determined mindset. She was over her infatuated torpor from the night before and had a new resolution. She was after all a ranger, people who prided themselves on their hunting ability... only now, instead of hunting game, she was hunting Sh'rarn.
Today she was clad in more comfortable clothes than her travelling gear from the night before. A black form-fitting linen blouse and a simple dark-red skirt skirt. She had her legs crossed seductively and was using every piece of body language she had learnt in her years in Luskan to draw attention to her... commodities.
She waved at Sh'rarn as he came downt the stairs and said, easily hearable in the silent room, "I trust you slept well m'lord?...

He walked over to her table. She looked happier and more confident than yestereve, for which he was glad. Sh'rarn couldn't fail to see the difference in her attire either. More...provocative and pleasing to the eye than her travelling clothes which Twaynith seemed to be fully aware of... and taking full advantage of.
[QUOTE=Twaynith] "I trust you slept well m'lord?...[/QUOTE]
"My sleep was fine, thank you. How are you today?"

She pulled out a schair for him, motioning got him to sit. "Excelent, m'lord. I was sorely in need of a bed to sleep in, I had forgotten how much more comfortable they can be than dirt and soft grass." She pushed the remnants of her breakfast, having eaten her fill.
Twaynith was after all an ex-prostitute, so she knew her stuff when it came to making herself appealing. She was showing a little more bosom than was quite decent, but she figured if she could get away with it anywhere, it was Baldur's Gate. Her skirt was ridding fairly high on her shapely hips, accentuating her curves and revealing her long pale legs. She angled her body forward slightly bringing herself closer to Sh'rarn and making sure he couldn't miss her provocations...

Sh'rarn sat down nodding in thanks, "Good, though I find it hard to see how comfortable sleeping on the ground is in the first place". He smiled while he said this, his way of letting her know it was only a jest.
She'd angled herself forward in a way that exposed more of her body. He liked her but not in that way she seemed to be hoping for. Besides he would feel he was taking advantage of her after her indecision last night. How to tell her this without causing a rift though was the difficulty...

She did lean back a bit, she didn't want to freak him out, she could exercise some restraint... sure. She took a sip from the glass of slightly murky water at her side. She couldn't expect much better, though it wasn't a patch on the pure water of a mountain spring. The day was yet young, and she had hours of time to spend with Sh'rarn. She'd win him over, if it meant sinking her nails into his back and not letting go...
[QUOTE=Kythras]"Everyone is crazy; Some just moreso than others"[/QUOTE]
Hmm...perhaps telling her could wait a while. A growl from his stomach reminded him what his next course of action should be. Sh'rarn motioned over a waitress and ordered some breakfast, while waiting he studied Twaynith, "Do you still wish to visit the hierophant?". His breakfast then arrived and he started to eat, waiting for Twaynith's reply...

She nodded, deciding to deffinately back off, the clothing was enough with tou leaping on him. "I think seeing your heirophant would be for the best. I don't really know what else I am going to do, other than head back to the wilds." She ofcourse, had no intention of going back tot he wilds, at least not unless she was dragging a bound and gagged Sh'rarn behind her. She waited for Sh'rarn to finished his meal and rose. "Shall we?..."
[QUOTE=Kythras]"Everyone is crazy; Some just moreso than others"[/QUOTE]
Sh'rarn finished his meal. She was already standing, obviously eager (more than he would have possibly expected) to meet the hierophant. "Of course, let's go."
He directed her through the streets of Baldur's Gate, "The Red Knight faith does not have temples as such, only shrines. We'll be heading towards one of those. It's near the Hall of Wonders which itself is hard to miss."
Eventually they reached a small building in the older side of the city that had been walled around originally.
Sh'rarn knocked on the door of the house and was answered by an acolyte in Red Knight vestments. "We were told to expect you Sir Sh'rarn", the acolyte said "Please follow me". The acolyte lead them to the Red Knight hierophant further inside the building. "Welcome my child", he addressed Sh'rarn. "Who else have you brought before me?".

Tway followed Sh'rarn through the winding streets of Baldur's Gate. She was no stranger to urban settings, havin lived in Luskan for more than four years, but Baldur's Gate was subtly different. More akin with Silverymoon than the universally hostile Luskan. All the same, she wore her cowl pulled over her revealing hordes, they were just making their way to a shrine, Tway didn't want to start a riot.
They atlast reached the Shrine of the Red Knight, an impressive, if somewhat small building of red and white marble. Tway was somewhat apprehensive about entereing the building, but Sh'rarn seemed to have to qualms about bringing her into it, so she followed, albeit somewhat reluctantly. She nodded to the acolyte and bollowed him through the passageways to te central room.
"Welcome my child, who else have you brought before me?"
"Twaynith, Follower of Sune Firehair and..." She threw back her hood, revealing her heritage for him to see, "Tiefling Ranger..."
