Zul gives a little bow. "Thank you for overextending yourself -- intentionally, I'm sure -- and allowing me to throw you," she replies, still in Filgan. She's worked up a sweat, but is not short of breath. A few errant strands of red-blond hair cling to her neck and forehead. "Very nicely done" Rotemdol replies smiling at her change of subject, thinking to himself that he's not going to learn who her teacher is. "If you like, I can freshen up while you conclude your business with this gentleman", Zul adds, "Afterward, we can perhaps discuss a training schedule". She awaits his reply. "Please do. It will be nice if you could then help Banjo with the kitchen. We can discuss some more training at the dining table". After freshening up and putting on her leather coat and nirvork again, she heads to the kitchen, where she finds Banjo watching several pots steaming over the wood-fired stove. "Keylinan dish", he says, "Better than the boiled cabbage or unidentifiable fried stuff that passes for Calbeyn cuisine. And it doesn't contain earthworms either". Meanwhile Rotemdol turns to his guest. "If there is nothing more, I will try to conclude the business tomorrow. Let me know if there is any new information". "I have no more information yet, I'm afraid", he replies, "After all, that is what I am paying you for. As for concluding the business" He keeps his voice low to prevent Zul from overhearing. "Does that actually mean you plan to do the deed? Or simply to gain further information?". "And one other thing", he adds, "Who is that woman? There are things I find strangely familiar about her. From her accent I believe she must come from Filgeth, or have lived there at some time. Her fighting style I do not recognise, but then you should be the expert in that area" "Finally, there is the question I asked of you just before that woman arrived, which you did not have the opportunity to answer. What do you know of the Right Hand of Vandrak?". -- Tim Hall Weblog: http://www.kalyr.com/weblog Photos: http://kalyr.fotopic.net/
