********

THe Eshu girl tries not to bleed on the carpet, and she both winces and grins as she ties up the voile tight in strips to slow it

But if she thought the thanes here were going to miss on a visitor slipping in with WOUNDS unnoticed, she guessed wrong. Though she is pretty good at sneaking, out of necesity

"Hold it, toots, " Rollo says "You didn't come through the usual door. You hopscotch over a fence?"

"Uhm... yes" Tziporah says "I figured my sister might have had a spider at the front and back doors and... sorry, just.. could I use the balefire?"

"Not my bale." Rollo pulls out a ledger and ballpoint pen "Name?" The chimerical ink ready to flow

"Tziporah, I've been here before thanks to Sir Earl? " She says

"Reason for visit?" He writes down the name

"Oh lots, you see, i Have been on a GLORIOUS adventure, filled with danger and delights, sights unseen and joys and fears coupled... thus began my saga..."

He puts out a hand "Seven words or less. No Eshu biz"

Tizzzy's eyes narrow with a humph, this is NOT the way to treat a princess of the road, but she complies "I need Healing from a Quest" A pause then she adds "Duh"

By the Dreaming She WILL get her full seven in

"Okay. If we heal you, do you still need the bale? Or can we boot you out?" Rollo is in a mood

"Boot me OUT?" SHe says surprised

"Great, thanks, was a bit worried we'd have to dig up a spare room. Lord Hume is having a video game convention and a lot of the rooms are reserved" Rollo nods "Emma or Thistle Snort will patch you up"

"No I didn't mean 'boot me out' like a request or volunteering for it, I meant 'Boot me out... QUESTION MARK like...''"

"Hey, I already got you down on the ledger as agreeing to it, so let's get you healed and gone." Rollo says "Wait here I'll get someone to tend to that" And he walks off

Tziiporah's jaw drops as the Boggan thane walks off to get a quick wham whalm heather Balm done on her and then show her the door.

It does appear, as she looks about, that lots of other kith are here. Mostly wilders about her age, but geeky sorts. Nerdy Nockers, Arcade crazed Arcadians, and more

After a few minutes, A basselope lopes in, gives her a sniff and a like, and reduces the wound on the the arm

"Why thank you" SHe says petting the chimera

"Make way," SOme one says and she has to move to the side with her healer as large gaming consoles are wheeled past her

"Well good grief" She huffs, and her wound lessened, she gets rid of the bandage, and goes to the library after all

For some sluagh, the hold is quite invaded. SOunds of beeping and bopping have taken up large sections of the hold. Stomping gamers going to and fro

"Wretched" Velvet sighs over the tea "Simply wretched"

Tziporah looks apologetic "I'm sorry. I didn't want to be shuffled off. So I came here"

"Oh there is nothing wrong with thee, tziporah, just all the sounds of video games"
