[Arafangwen]

"I am bored but not bored enough to drink myself silly as some here have been inclined to." Stryker commented in reply to her previous question.

"I for one have never belived in drinking." said Arafangwen proudly, "I don't think it to be wise or beneficial in anyway so why should I." she stated bluntly.

Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Firondoiel approaching her and turned to greet her, suddenly noticing the dejected look on her friends face she wondered what could've happened in such a short time that could've dampened her spirits so. She quickly said goodbye to her new friend and rose from her seat to meet her friend halfway. She decided that it was time to tell her what she had been hiding from her.

"Firondoiel." Arafangwen called out as she met her friend half way across the floor.

"I must speak to you." she said in a voice so serious that Firondoiel immedietly lost interest in all else and followed her into a private room where they could talk openly.
