Aura listened to Cascade as she spoke, or at least it looked like she was listening, her party would know that she likely was more focused on analyzing Cascade's physical appearance than actually paying attention to what the woman had to say. Though she did catch the part about Jørmund not having hammers for fists, which threw her off. [color=bc8dbf]"Why would Jørmund have Hammers for fists?"[/color] She questioned just before Rala appeared and began, well, being Rala. [color=bc8dbf]"Now now Rala, some tack is needed when getting information out of people, appearing from the crowd and throwing around accusations and suspicions is not the way to do that when Cascade here is being so adorably polite."[/color] Her attention stayed almost entirely on Cascade as she spoke. [color=bc8dbf]"Though there are some valid points from both Rala and Flicker."[/color] She motioned to Rala when Aura said her name. [color=bc8dbf]"I get Jørmund has quite a reputation but why him specifically? Did someone send you to find him or did you just hear the tales and decide he was the man for the job? And if you were sent by someone, why did they send you? What skills do you have to offer us if we were to help you?"[/color] Her voice never lost the honey sweet tone she normally used when she was flirting with someone, nor did her smile leave her face. This was where she excelled, with carefully crafted words and a friendly demeanor Aura generally could get people to open up enough to read them like a book, and if she couldn't her less trusting companions could pick apart things that made little to no sense. [color=bc8dbf]"You must understand darling, we, first and foremost, have the best interests of our companions at heart. So any and all information you can give us here and now would be much appreciated."[/color] Aura had settled casually in her seat, resting her chin on the back of her hand, propped up by her elbow on the table, leaving the more threatening personas to the others. She hoped that Cascade would ignore, or at least brush off, Rala's more skeptical and aggressive approach to the stranger.
