"There is a table in the corner beside the fire. It is more comfortable than perched on stools at the bar, and there we can all introduce ourselves properly." spoke Elwen softly.
Soronume's heart lightened at the sight of his old friend. He stood and nodded to Elwen with a smile, and then turned to Niniel. "Would you care to join us my'lady? It would be a great pleasure, for the Lady Elwen here is an old and great friend of mine, from when I was here once before." Niniel seemed still nervous, but the sight of Soronume's smile seemed to comfort her as she realised she had caused him no great lasting pain.
She stepped forward with Soronume and Elwen, only to be disturbed by another character who caught her attention by tapping her shoulder then continuing to talk on. The maiden didn't appear to know this figure so Soronume stepped in.
"Excuse me sir, this lady already has a drink, there is no need for a another. Not yet." The man turned back to Soronume and Niniel. Elwen too had stopped not far behind them but was now making her way back to Soronume and his new friend.
