Body guard? That could be easy money! Mei Xiao had overheard the conversation between the man and the rogue. How much was he offering? Maybe I could get him to raise the offer just a tad. A place to stay will be good enough. [/i]

"Excuse me, sir. What job were you offering that.. Rogue?"

 Mei slowly approached tom, keeping her hand on the handle of her sword, just in case. It was clear she was a very cautious woman as she stayed pretty far from the man. This caused her to have to raise her voice so he could hear her. Mei was a fairly attractive, 5'1 woman with short, straight black hair and shimmering blue eyes. How could this woman help him? She was so small! She fidgeted with the white wrapping on her dao as she waited for a respond.

"Excuse me, sir. What job were you offering that.. Rogue?"

Tom looked up from his ale to see the owner of the sweet-pitched voice.  It was a surprise to hear such a voice in a place like this, but it was even more of a surprise to see the dainty female in front of him, cautiously keeping her distance.  He paused, then opened his mouth to speak, a little unsure.

"I err..." Tom started, looking her up and down.  "I'm looking for another bodyguard to escort my caravan up to the northlands.  Just muscle work - keep the cart maintained, guarded from thieves and highway robbers."  He actually felt stupid explaining the job to this young woman, as if she was cut out to be a bodyguard. But he finished anyway. "The job is a week long, pays well. 50 gold a head.  Bonuses if I do well in the market, and you do well as a bodyguard.  You know anyone that'd be interested, lady?"

At this point, Vaughn walked into the tavern, spied Tom at the table, and walked over.  "The cart is ready, boss.  And Saiyan is back.  We're ready when you are."  He didn't even notice the young woman stood away from Tom's table.
