Sting

The Inn door opened to reveal a rather sinister character one would have taken for an Elf at first glance, yet the ears were a bit too blunt and the face a bit too broad. He walked with swagger, for he was one who was extremely sure of himself, no matter what the occasion, be it wine, women or song...well, maybe not song, but wine and women anyway.

His looks and manners were those of a gentleman, but those that had known him well knew the truth behind his facade. He was a cold-blooded killer, an assassin of great finesse and skill, charming, humorous and deadly. Of course, those that had known him were, alas, quite dead. A testament to his talent, and his loneliness.

He entered slowly, looking the place over, then after nodding to the innkeeper, he selected a place near the fire, but not so near as to let its light shine on his face. A barmaid sidled up to him and he ran the back of his hand up her arm, then he grabbed her hand and kissed it. "An ale and some food, my good woman. Make it fast and this will be yours." He flipped a gold coin onto the table and she eyed it greedily. With a wink, she disappeared and his eyes followed her with appreciation.
