The Amell Legacy: Transgressions

[Marian Hawke]

Marian stares at her. "What, what about breakfast? Did something happen?"

[Haliel Lightsong]

Haliel holds up a hand and takes a half dozen seconds to catch her wind. "You weren't there. You had plans with Mister Tethras and Seeker Helene? And given-" she glances at Isabela, then visibly censors herself, "Storm's crazy ex... I was worried."

[Marian Hawke]

Marian starts, clearly only just recalling said plans. "Oh, shit, I'm sorry, I had breakfast with Isabela and her friend." 

[Isabela]

"Is Storm the sister I've heard so much about?" asks Isabela, smiling.

[Haliel Lightsong]

Haliel starts to nod, then hesitates. "No, that's probably Beth," she replies, completely forgetting to use their aliases. "Storm is their brother. I am Ray Lightsong," she adds, offering her hand to Isabela.

[Isabela]

"Isabela," she replies, shaking her hand. "It's very nice to meet you."

[Haliel Lightsong]

"And you as well," Lightsong replies with a warm smile. "Are you a local or a fellow traveler?"

[Isabela]

"Oh, Isabela goes where the wind takes her," she says, tilting her head slightly. "Are you also from Draslina?"

[Haliel Lightsong]

"I was trained there, yes, for the vast majority of life, though I was born in a small mining town near Runis." The aasimar wrinkles her nose. "I think, anyway. My parents are paladin-errants and they travel extensively rather erratically, so it was hard to backtrack sightings and reports of them to try and pin down where they must have been."

[Isabela]

"Paladins, hmm? That must have been fascinating." 

Isabela takes a step forward, her eyelids lowering slightly. "I'd love to hear more about it in detail."

[Marian Hawke]

Marian frowns, reaching for Isabela's arm. "I don't think she's up for that kind of talk," she warns. 

[Haliel Lightsong]

Smile going warmer, Lightsong nods. "Of course! I certainly have no objection to speaking of the good works of my parents or any other paladin, for that matter. Were you planning to come back to the tavern for a while with Marian?"

[Marian Hawke]

"She's flirting with you," Marian cuts in, firmly.

[Isabela]

"That I am," says Isabela, brightly. "Is that a problem?"

[Haliel Lightsong]

"Flirting with me?" She sounds startled and a bit baffled. "Are you sure?"
