Nerisa sighed as she listened to Finpen blather on and on about one of his inventions. Not wanting to listen anymore she laid her head down in her arms. She wasn't surprized however that the gnome did not take the hint and just kept chattering.

Naburine dodged the chair as if it was an everyday occurance. "Yes, well, most people have no life around here, so they come to the tavern to get something of one." She takes his hand and guides him gently to the table, then she sits delicately down. "It is nice to meet you, Leo." Naburine's caramel eyes turn to Ferrel. Finding him scowling, she makes an adorable face. "Ferrel, darling, this nice young man is Leo." Ferrel just grunted. "Oh, say hello to the nice man, deary." Grimacing, Ferrel turns to the newcomer, nods, and mutters a quick, "Hello."

Nerisa was instantly sitting up straight and looking at Leo with what seemed like indifference. "Hello. I'm Nerisa."

Leo waved to them silently, smiling. He'd never been greeted like this at a tavern before. Picking up a fork, he began to toss it from hand to hand. "Nerisa...Naburine..Ferrel. Got it," he stated with a nod and a half-smile. "One over here!" he called out to the tavern, though it became increasingly obvious that the tavernkeeper was not conscious...
Fiona had taken over the "behind the bar" scene, filling glasses, taking people's coin, putting it in her own purse... Hearing the call, she filled one up with whatever tap was closest, fine aged ale, or cheap watery drink, it was a gamble.
Leo came over and grabbed it, Fiona shooting him a wink before moving to fill up the others.
"So, any of you know a quick way out of town by any chance..?" Leo asked as he re-approached the table.

Naburine's eyes twinkled as she looked at Leo. "Ah... people after you, are they? Well, I do know a quick way out... a girl has got to know these things, you understand. What is it to you?"

Leo looked around cautiously at the crowd, who didn't seem to care one whit about the conversation at all. "Look... I.. can't pay you myself, but my benefactor would be perfectly happy to," said the young man in a "keep this under your hat" tone of voice. Fiona, who had very large ears, was intrigued.

One of Naburine's thin eyebrows raised, and she leaned in closer. "If there is pay involved, I am all for it." Without a change of voice, she added, "And Fiona, darling, I know you're listening."

Nerisa discreetly moved foreward trying to keep up appearances and jumped when Finpen, who had drank way to much ale, fell to the ground snoring.

"Pfft.. Wot'd I want to hear about a great big profitable heist for?" Fiona added while polishing a glass (her own). Regardless, whe walked over to hear.
"I need to find a way to get to Fenhold," Leo said quietly. "By any means possible."
((Fenhold: capital of a nearby kingdom. Made it up. ))

Naburine shrugs. "All right, then. I can do that for you. What is it exactly that needs to be done? Any special needs for this? You know... not being seen... that sort of thing?"

"That basically covers it.." Leo said in regards to Naburine's remark. He peered over at the gnomes carefully, oddly wary of them for some reason.
Fiona grinned. "Sneaky business eh? You smugglin' sumfin?" Leo pretended to ignore the remark.

Nerisa saw the look Leo directed at Finpen and raised an eyebrow. "You didn't steal from the gnomes I hope. They are a rather formidable opponent if angered or riled up. And this one," she nodded her head toward her tag-a-long. "specializes in torture devices."

Naburine chuckled to herself. "Okay... if that is all that it is..." But before she could finish, Ferrel interrupted her. "No, Naburine. There is no way that I will let you do this. It's illegal, whatever it is!" Naburine glared at him. "You're not my father, Ferrel, darling. Besides, I have done illegal things most of my life, being a piratess and a ninja... and a thief." Ferrel tried to find a way to defend his reasonings, making a funny face in the process. Unable to, he stutters, "Well, this is different! It's a man asking you to do something for him..." "You mean it is a man other than you that will be around me while on an adventure." To this quip, Ferrel glowered and shrank back in his seat. "Now, then, dear, let me get to my work."

Oddly enough, Leo didn't reply to Nerisa's comment, though he did give finpen a noticiable look of apprehension. Was he afraid..? "As.. soon as possible.." he said, turning his head to naburine, but keeping his eyes on the gnomes.
Fiona frowned. "You ain't at least tellin' us wot you got there?" she asked, dissappointment plain on her face. "Not here.. not now," Leo replied simply.

Nerisa's interest was deffinately aroused. What did he steal? What would he want to steal from them? She contemplated these questions as she stared at him without blinking. She finally looked away for a moment to glance at Finpen. "I could send him off to do something for me. Would you be willing then?"
