Mathilda has been observing the elf and up close, it seems she was right to think that he and his friends seem a little out of place at this party, but what are they up to? She suppresses the urge to chew her bottom lip and maintains the polite smile of a waitress instead. The elf seemed careful not to make his connection to his two friends terribly obvious, could they be a group of thieves working a heist? In that case, she'd better grab what she can before the rich nobles are alerted. Unconsciously, she reaches for the small dagger hidden underneath her service apron, touching it to reassure herself.

Quickly dropping her hand, Tilda smiles at the female of the group.

"I'm sorry, I was wondering if you would like anything more to drink? Perhaps a few hors d'oeuvres?" 

The woman's gaze makes her uneasy and she shifts from one foot to another. Did she see her steal that bracelet from the fat noblewoman earlier? No, surely not...

Molly stares at the human girl with concern and curiosity. Waving off any refreshment, she asks, "Is this your business, or do you work for one of the clients?"

Hurosk: 

You see that the two young men seems to be getting ready to leave the Sphynx. Following them before they leave the main ball room you hear one of them saying

"Let's get more and forget about her..."

       Hurosk hustles back to Moltaris. "I think we be in luck with these two... Problem with the help here," he asks noticing the cleric still focusing her attention on the waitress. 

(Resisting the urge to go up to the pair and going Scanlan on them... "Do you dream...? Are you dreaming it?" Lol)

Lyreis prowls down the corridor listening intently as he goes, trying to hear Kyne's voice, trying the handle of any doors where he can hear nothing.

OOC Lyreis will only check doors where he can't hear anything and nobody else is about, he will stop and listen at the door where the two men went but won't open the door even if it is silent.

Silently cursing herself for lingering, Mathilda answers: "I'm with the kitchen staff, but I have not been working here for very long." She rolls and unrolls the hem of her apron, about to turn around and disappear off into the crowd, but her curiosity gets the better of her and she asks: "If you don't mind me saying so, you also seem... new to the Golden Sphynx? I would keep my distance from those two,"  she nods her head in the direction of the two patrons Hurosk is watching, "I've seen them, uhm, make a mess of things, so to speak. The last time they were here." 

Molly nods. "We're new. Define mess - those two might be the fellows our employer sent us to find."

Kyne:

 Hurosk: 

 Lyreis:

 Moltarys and Mathilda:

"Well, last time they were here, they had be escorted out and...", Mathilda notices that they are beginning to draw attention, "I will be happy to tell you what I know, but could you meet me outside in a little while? We're not really supposed to be chatting to patrons." She looks around, giving reassuring smiles to the other waiters. "Meet me by the servants' entrance," she whispers and darts back into the kitchen as if to refill the glasses. Quickly discarding her tray, she changes back into her own clothes, grabs her things and heads for the exit before anyone can ask too many questions.

"Bercu?" Kyne asks curiously, tilting his head, before echoing her sentiment.

"To first times!"

He also raises his cup to his lip as she does, but only pretends to drink.

Sleight of Hand 25

Selecting a suitably sized piece of wood from the pile in case he needs a makeshift club Lyreis stays in the room, listening by his own door which he leaves open a crack to help with this. 

Molly nods to Mathilda and murmurs, "Be on your guard - something foul prowls the alleyways of this place." Turning back to the room, she picks one person who was looking at her and glares at them until they blink away. Then she moves to the majordomo, collects her things, and sweeps out and towards the servant's entrance.

Mathilda waits outside for a brief moment until the female guest appears with her half-orc friend. She takes a deep breath and then quickly explains: "As I said, I've not been working here for very long. I'm not originally from here and have spent the last couple of years travelling with a group. Anyway, those two have been here before and had to be escorted out because they got violent and were threatening other guests. I've heard the other servants talk of this new drug and that some of the guests are using it, but I've not seen it myself yet." She draws a circle in the dirt with her foot, before continuing, "sounds like nasty stuff, if you ask me. Doesn't do anyone any good to try and forget about your sorrows like that, I've seen that often enough."

Hurosk follows behind Molly. Once he collects his things and steps outside, he quickly scans the street for any sign of the two that he was watching.

"Now what's going on with the waitress?" he ask Molly.

"Now what's going on with the waitress?" he ask Molly.

"She is more than she seems - She knows about the Red Dream. Now is she trustworthy? That's a different question. But the drunkard who pulled us together didn't seem too worried about that..."

"The drunkard who pulled you together?" she asks and her eyes light up with excitement, "so you are adventurers? I knew it!" Mathilda is slightly intimidated by Molly's appearance and her distrust, so she adds sheepishly: "Not that I was watching you or anything."

Kyne: 

Lyreis:

Mathilda, Molly and Hurosk:

 What do you want to do?

Molly grins in agreement. "Some of us are adventurers. Some of us are hunters. Want to help us find those troublemakers?"

At this point, Kyne would really like to know who exactly this Burcu is and where they are to be found. However, Khalistraax doesn't seem to be in the mood for further talk.

He indulges her appetite, and to say he doesn't enjoy himself would be a lie, but at the same time his mind keeps returning to his newfound companions. He doesn't wish for them to think he has abandoned them, or that he doesn't take their task seriously, and as such endeavours to satisfy his partner as quickly as possible.

(OOC - We'll just skip over this, yeah? Unless she's going to get any more talkative, I doubt the details of the rest are integral to the plot... scene fade to black)

OOC: LOL depending on her appetite, we could get up to a lot of shenanigans out here while you're in there!!

(OOC: *accidentallys RPs himself out of RP* How about we all just assume that Kyne actually is as good as he thinks he is and the lady is satisfied in record time. :P)

OOC: Bwahaha!! Well, sorting out our conversations and getting out of the building could have taken us a while
