Chapter	Text
8.05 I	“Drakes, Xesci. You think Gnolls want to see me pretend to be a ‘wild Gnoll who needs to be tamed’?”
8.05 I	Xesci snorted. Oh yes, it was an act. And exotic…she sighed.
8.05 I	The Gnoll laughed and Xesci smiled. She sat back as Aranna nodded.
8.05 I	Xesci didn’t put down what was between her claws. She was, in fact, knitting. Shakra glanced at it.
8.05 I	Xesci was not a…specialist in those areas. Certainly, she wasn’t one of the older Gnolls, who, unlike the ‘exotic Plains Gnoll’ of Aranna, instead was quite mean to her clients.
8.05 I	Brilm was a familiar face. The other two? Xesci listened.
8.05 I	Gossip went around the city, and especially in places like this. Xesci stirred.
8.05 I	But. Xesci knew that he hadn’t come here—recently—because he had been off the market so to speak for a while. And if recent events were any guide…she shook her head.
8.05 I	Xesci was not out with the others. She had declined to line up, as the others were surely doing. But she was listening from the back room. It was very quiet. She’d smiled herself as Ilvriss pointed out the plaque. But now…
8.05 I	Xesci didn’t know fish.
8.05 I	She heard murmurs. Flirtatious voices—or however the ‘ladies of the night’ were scouting out Ilvriss. They’d be tossing charm Skills and other similar abilities out, but Xesci wondered if Ilvriss might be a hard opponent.
8.05 I	Shakra. Xesci was curious, but Ilvriss replied distinctly.
8.05 I	That surprised and disappointed the people. Xesci just nodded.
8.05 I	…And that established what Ilvriss was not interested in. Xesci listened as he practically jumped across the room. He kept turning down people, and she knew he was using his aura. She felt it in the air—command, pure and simple. It meant no one would be seducing him past his senses.
8.05 I	Unless people told you to be ashamed. Xesci had heard it all. Brilm exhaled—and then paused.
