While Bowyn didn’t trust that anything was actually free, Torvi would take advantage of it where she could. With the food she also got a water, needing to drink something, but deciding another mead would have been a bad choice. As she’d gone to take a drink of it, however, the water stayed in place at the bottom of the cup. She’d found it odd for a brief moment, until she noticed the glance from Belle which indicated she was responsible. What a clever way to indicate to Torvi alone that she wasn’t an elf at all, but in fact a human. No one else would have seen the use of the magic and it made Torvi grin internally. She proceeded to start a conversation about how she was relieved to find a relative here in Roshmi, hoping Bowyn would pick up on the subtle clue of her own which he thankfully did. After some more small talk and mention of the ball, the group decided to leave the Leaky Tap in order to go shopping for outfits. It was during this time that they discovered Belle was also quite skilled at theft. This was something they could all oddly bond over. Torvi was thrilled to have found another human, or maybe she should say that the human had found her. While she still kept her guard up a bit around the new people just in case, it was a relief to know she wasn’t the only one of her kind here in Avalia. While they shopped they ended up seeing the message broadcast over what Bowyn quietly had to explain was a sphere. Images appeared in the sky of four figures first which Torvi made note to remember because they might be potential allies. Then there was another sketch shown of a demi-human man, but they didn’t explain what his crimes were. She found it quite curious and thought she’d seen Belle react to the image a bit, but wasn’t entirely sure nor did she ask about it. They also overheard a rumor of dark elves burning down a nobles house merely because the noble had just mentioned that the humans didn’t seem to be that big of a threat. Torvi couldn’t help but feel like dark elves were too over dramatic in dealing with things. [hr] Now the group was back at the Leaky Tap, where Bowyn and Torvi were staying, debating on if it were time to call it a night. Their shopping trip had been quite successful and Torvi loved the dress she found. She strangely found she was eager for the ball now even though she knew it’d be dangerous. The elf ears definitely seemed to hold up with no issues through the crowds of the marketplace which made her feel a bit better. She was confident they’d hold up at the ball if she decided to dance. For a brief moment she wondered if Bowyn would dance as well, but had a feeling he’d be reluctant. Maybe she’d try to convince him to do so. She looked over to Belle and gave her a grin, still excited over the fact that this woman was another human. [color=7ea7d8]”So where are you guys staying while you’re here in Roshmi?”[/color] She was curious if they had a place to stay or not. She even considered suggesting they all stay together, but she didn’t know how Bowyn would react. So for now she decided on just asking where they were staying.
