Draiga stopped in the middle of the dusty street and ran his hand back through his sweat soaked hair in the hope of a small breeze only to get a cloud of dust in the face instead as a hoard of mute dwarves ran past in single file toward the guard outpost near the dion gates. After coughing up a pound or three of dust he tilted his head slightly listening for more mute dwarves as he turned his mist shrouded eyes toward a nearby building, listening intently. just at the edge of hearing he thought he made out Makora and Tregarde's voices from inside and began to walk toward the sound, carefully counting his steps.
He pushed the door open and walked inside, carefully keeping a hand against the wall as he made his way around the room toward the bar.

Sharae looked a little on edge, now feeling slightly crowded in. She sized up the newcomer with a full sweeping glance from boot to face, stoping to look into his eyes a moment and then turned back to Tregarde.
"This a friend of yours?"

Tregarde turned to half-way face Makora. “We have a lady and a man,” she waved a hand to Sharae then Kiyu as she spoke. “I thought your eyes were better than that.” She gave Makora a hint of a lopsided grin before she turned back to the others.
“This is Makora, a fellow member of the Guard. Not the brightest candle, but he’s alright most of the time,” she said teasingly.

Glances at Tregarde and chuckles. Pointing to his eye patch, "You mean eye. And yes, I may not be the brightest candle as she says. But, I'm fairly decent with a sword." patting the sword on his left he looks from Sharae to Kiyu. "I don't think I got your names."

She raises an eyebrow, looking a little perturbed. We seem to be missing a lot of eyes around here...
Clears her throat and nods to Makora, "I am Sharae, this nice fellow, who I only just met myself," she motions to Kiyu, "is called Kiyu, and this little sweetie is Kai." She finishes, stroking the cat-creature, which purrs loudly. "I 'spose if you're a friend of Tre's then you must be alright..."
She turns to Tregarde, "What's this Guard you speak of?"

Tregarde half turned to Makora and indicated with an open hand, “This is Kiyu, a fellow member of the alliance, and Sharae, a-“ she paused for a heartbeat, unsure exactly what to call the rogue. ‘Friend’ seemed too much, they had really only met a couple times and the last many months ago, so she settled for, “an old acquaintance.”
She then turned to Sharae and raised an eyebrow quizzically. “Been out of the loop, eh?” she said with a hint of amusement in her voice. Her manner became more serious as she continued.
“Okay, the very quick version – A while ago Dalamar and some of the Sentries didn’t like how some things were being done, long story there, and broke off to became independent of the Temple. Kirisa stayed loyal to the Temple and didn’t want to cause a schism that could put friend against friend, so she let them go and formed the Abyssal Guard.”
She hooked a foot under the crossbar of a stool and pulled it over and sat down. “About that time I had left Echoes, and Risa asked me join her as her second in command. And so,” she spread her arms out half way and stuck a pose on the stool with a sly smile, “here I am today.”
She tilted her head slightly. “If you got a couple hours I could give you the long version.”

"Nice to meet you Makora and I believe officially meet you Tregarde. As for me I would love to hear more about your guard, it sounds like you have an intresting past," Kiyu leaned back in his chair sipping his drink. "and please everyone have a seat."

Grabbing his Ale he turns and looks around. Spotting an empty chair he grabs it and pulls up to the table and takes a seat. Sighing heavily he leans back and takes a long drink from his mug.

Leans back in her chair a little, crosses her legs and turns to Tre.
"The Abyssal Guard... Yeah, I heard of them just recently, but I didn't know you had left Echoes, let alone that you were in this particular group..." She pauses, looking down at the table as she speaks, a little hesitantly, "It's... an interesting coincidence, since I was told that I may want to speak with someone in your group concerning certain matters..." Sharae eyes Tregarde, "Perhaps we could discuss this more in private at some point..." She smiles and her tone becomes lighter, "For now I'd be happy to hear more about the Guard as well."

Taking a drink from his ale he looks up at Tre "Wow, Tre you sure are popular. Everyone always wants to talk to you in private."

Kiyu hides a small smile beihnd his drink, and even Kai lets out a muffled purr that sounds more like a laugh. "Well, Makora I am sure you have had your private meetings also."
Kiyu enjoyed Makora's sense of humor, atleast he hoped it was his sense of humor, and it would be intresting to see where this conversation went.

Thinking for a moment than taking a drink of his Ale he nods. "Yes Kiyu I have had my fair share of private meetings. Upstairs, Waterfalls, Guard Halls, why I even had a 'meeting' with someone in this very room. It was on that table right there in fact." Makora points to a table a few tables down.
Taking another drink of his ale he wipes his mouth and runs a hand through his hair. "Of course, these meetings where private and I can't tell you anything about them. I'm sure your dying to hear. But, I just can't."

Tregarde glanced at the table Makora pointed toward then back at him without turning her head. “Would that have been one of those times…” she pat her knee a couple times.
Before she could see the inevitable cringe on his face she turned to Sharae and Kiyu. “Alright, I guess it’s story-time. Just give me a moment.” She stood and walked back to the table where Jess was sitting. They exchanged a few words, then Jess stood, yawned, and stretched. The two walked to the door. If anyone was listening they could hear Tre ask, “are you sure?” Jess smiled and replied, “Yes. Go, spend time with your friends. I’m just going to lie down for a bit. Don’t be too long, okay?” They embraced and kissed briefly before Jess walked out.
Tregarde walked back to the others. “That’s Jess, the other love in my life – long story – and yes, Risa knows, all three of us are together. She’s tired, I’m sure you’ll meet her soon enough.” She waved a hand to the table. “We have a table and some things to munch on already set. Shall we get comfy while we exchange tales?”
She blinked then looked at Sharae with a grin. “Oh yeah, forgot to mention, Risa and I are together. Have been for a long time, really.”

Makora did indeed cringe. Shaking his head he than finished off his Ale and looked around for a waiter. Without looking at Tre he said "I think I know what you mean by one of 'those times' and no it wasn't that. In here was with someone else, I'm sure you know her."
Getting the attention of a waiter he orders another Ale. Once the waiter had departed he takes out his pipe, packs some tobacco into it and lights up. Puffing a few times he says mostly to Kiyu. "Yeah, Risa, Tre, and Jess. Probly one of the sexiest trios I've seen." he leans a bit closer and whisperes so Tre can't hear. "I'll bet the sex is great too."

Eventually she managed to blink, having gone a little red in the cheeks between the sight of Tre kissing Jess, and Makora’s comments.
"Okay..." She sipped her water, a little speechless. Her aunt Kyra had tried to explain to her that such things were quite common, but seeing two women together was still a little strange... And the thought of three…
Sharae had a sudden and overwhelming need to go and jump into the nearest river. Her lank hair fell across her red cheeks as she stood and moved toward the table Tre had suggested, hoping no one had noticed how flushed she was.
