She turns towards the barmaid, and speaks for the first time. "Water. And two *hot* rolls." she says simply, then turns back towards the mage. She looks over the mage, taking his entire view in, searching memory. When her eyes open again, she frowns. "Lightfinger," she says, "What are you doing here? I thought I left you behind fifteen years ago." Her tone of voice seems somewhat annoyed, though her expression belies the annoyance she tries to feel, showing obvious relief at seeing a familiar face among strangers. ----
