Zane says "We're like..friends of Captain Siv?" Still a bit dizzy from the trod switching himself.

The troll looks down, "Maybe, but first, a test. Best Star Wars movie?"

Zane looks at Adam

"Uh..... 'New Hope.'"

"I will allow it," Oswald says "Many would say it was Empire Strikes back, but which one you select tells me much about you. The Captain doesn't appear to be on the Dueling Decks today " He gestures to the high stands near the gardens.

"But If you want, you can wander through most areas for now. Any friend of the Captain's and all that" He finishes

"Wandering is cool with us," Zane says

"Uh, yeah. Wandering." Adam agrees.

"Good travels, young padawans. May the Force be with you... always" The Thane motions them on.

Zane and Adam walk off... once out of earshot ,"Okay.. the trolls in OUR place just got a bit more boss by comparison"

Adam is looking around avidly.

the gardens are pretty cool, and the halls in the hold are open and airy.... as if the light finds just the right way to get in.

A hot sidhe woman in leather with a bow and arrows on her back can be seen with a odd antlered basset hound

Annnnnddd..... Adam stalls out, mouth open.

Zane's right there with him "Oh sweet mystery of life" As the hunting leathers encase a toned ass walking on down. Left... left.. left right left.. .

"I could follow that all day" Zane mutters

Adam seems to be doing just that; he wanders after her.

"Wuff?" The dog moose thing says

"Thistlesnort, what on..." She turns "Well, hello. " She eyes Adam, and then Zane, "I don't recognize you two"

"Hiiiii......"

"Hey," Zane smiles and leans against the wall "Nice Basselope"

"Thanks, his name is Thistlesnort," She says "And you two are?"

"He's Zane.... I'm Adam." A bit breathlessly.

"I'm Dame Leonora ap Fiona." She looks them over "Nice to meet you, guys. "

"Leonora....." Wistful. "Beautiful."

"Thank you" She smiles "You're rather handsome yourself... mmm and two of you... " she eyes them both " Now , what brings you to Earth Runes? Pretty sure it wasn't me"

"Well.... it got boring at home and Zane said we could come here......."

"Sure isn't boring now." A cocky grin.

"Oh that's sweet of you, but this is actually slow paced," She puts a hair behind her sharp ear

"compared to how ..exciting I like it" her eyes sparkle

"Yeah?" His own eyes spark. "Like how?"

"Well, for me, exciting is racing full tilt along a narrow wall, leaping from tower to tower... firing my arrows into the hide of a threat to innocents... and then... celebrating with a warm bath, and having a rub down while two studs massage me in oils after ..."

Zane wipes his mouth ,worried he's drooling.

"Oh, yes." Adam agrees to this plan of action. "You got it."

"But I can't, patrols. Later Adam, Later Zane" She smiles "Come on, Thistlesnort" And off they walk "nice meeting youuuu."

"Uhhh...... I do patrols! I could patrol with you!" He offers.

"Sorry nope. .. they're assignments..." Her voice echoes "No last minute changes without telling Captain of the Guard ... " And she's gone.

"Dude......" Adam's voice is reverent.

"Okay, remember I mentioned Fiona girls? " Zane says "That was a hell of an example. Man, if Varich are Ice, Fiona girls are fire."

"I think I'm in love......"

"What, again? " Zane nudges him

Adam grins. "What can I say?"

"Hey, I can't blame you. Wow. "

"You think all the girls here are like that?"

"Maybe the sidhe... I mean, they do have that edge"

"Man..... " A sigh. "So what, keep looking around?"

"Oh sure, I mean.. let's check it..." They walk into what appears to be an art gallery

Which, as it includes some female statues that are nude and paintingso f same might catch their attention to

"They put this up for anyone to see. I think I'm living in the wrong barony" Zane says only HALF joking

"Right?" Agreeing.
