Chapter Text
9.41 (Pt. 1) “I am Lord Xitegen Terland, and I have been demanding service for the last six minutes.”
9.41 (Pt. 1) “Lord Xitegen, the inn’s staff are Goblin and Antinium. If you have an issue with their service—”
9.41 (Pt. 1) Lord Xitegen was lucky that Erin was busy talking to Normen. Or perhaps, the inn was lucky. Because a [Lord] could cause trouble.
9.41 (Pt. 1) Nevertheless, Ishkr was wavering between the personal vengeance of a [Server] and being cautious with this man. So, he moderated his tone and pointed to the kitchen. It did not escape his notice that a few nobles willing to get their sweets even if it meant dealing with Silverboots—they would rather take him over Peggy—had stopped talking when Lord Xitegen mentioned the staff.
9.41 (Pt. 1) “I feel I should mention something first, Lord Xitegen. All the sweets you see here are prepared by our [Chef].”
9.41 (Pt. 1) Not strictly true, but Calescent did most of it. Xitegen’s face was blank.
9.41 (Pt. 1) Then he slowly, slowly craned his head around Ishkr, and the open kitchen revealed a humming Hobgoblin breaking eggs one-handed into a bowl where he was making more cake batter. Xitegen’s face turned waxy. Then pale.
9.41 (Pt. 1) Several of the nobility tucking into their desserts looked over with frank horror. Ishkr kept his polite smile there as Peggy cackled. But Xitegen’s reply was calm.
9.41 (Pt. 1) Lord Xitegen ignored her completely. He had, Ishkr noted, no bow at his side despite the bracer. He turned and, with a heavy sigh, strode for the door.
9.41 (Pt. 1) He strode out of the inn so fast that he seemed to suck several of the nobility with him. Ishkr was left there, with a keen desire to tell Liska to port Xitegen straight into Pallass. However—he was worried.
9.41 (Pt. 1) That was the kind of guest that Larra had been carrying in her inn from First Landing. They had barely stepped foot inside The Wandering Inn, probably because they were like Xitegen.
9.41 (Pt. 1) Now, Xitegen was paying attention. And something told Ishkr that the [Lord] of one of the Five Families was more than hot air.
9.41 (Pt. 1) However, Ishkr had made one mistake. He was just exhaling and looking around for Lyonette to apprise her of the problem. He had assumed Xitegen was done. Ominous threat, leave. Ishkr really should have gone after him. Not to stop him, but to make sure the man exited the inn without trouble.
9.41 (Pt. 1) In this case—Xitegen’s voice was a roar.
9.41 (Pt. 1) This time—Erin Solstice heard it. She looked up from the table, rose to her feet—then rolled herself to the door. Ishkr ran. If Erin Solstice clonked Lord Xitegen with a pan or stabbed the man—
9.41 (Pt. 1) The [Knight] was already at the door, and the regulars were backing away as Erin’s face turned into a thunderhead. But Lord Xitegen came striding back through the door, locked in a furious shouting match as a tiny, grey Goblin with a poofy hat ran through, shielding her head.
9.41 (Pt. 1) It should have been. But the horrible [Lord] had nearly kicked her, having never seen a Cave Goblin with their greyish skin before. That would have been bad—for Lord Xitegen—but someone had stopped him.
9.41 (Pt. 1) “How dare you. I am Lord Xitegen, and that filthy thing—is it diseased?”
9.41 (Pt. 1) Revi hesitated for one second, and Xitegen advanced.
9.41 (Pt. 1) “I am Lord Xitegen Terland, and I will not be threatened by a Gold-rank adventurer. How dare you lay your hands on me! Which team are you from?”
9.41 (Pt. 1) He was about to back her out of the door when a hand barred the way. And this time, Xitegen halted as a dour-faced man blocked him and backed Revi up.
9.41 (Pt. 1) “Griffon Hunt. That Goblin is under Emperor Laken Godart’s protection. Lord Xitegen.”
9.41 (Pt. 1) The [Lord] halted, and Erin’s face turned with delight to her old friend. Pebblesnatch ran over to Erin, hopped in her lap, and Erin cuddled her. Xitegen focused on Halrac with actual recognition—then his face mottled.
9.41 (Pt. 1) The team of Griffon Hunt had agreed to escort Pebblesnatch to the inn, or used it for the pretext to visit. Wisely so, it seemed. Lord Xitegen tried to get a word in edgewise as the Gold-rank team came in. Typhenous was smiling.
9.41 (Pt. 1) Halrac was eying Lord Xitegen with more spatial awareness than the rest, but even he was caught off-guard as an Antinium ran downstairs.
