Liahona looked up at the man, surprised, she hadnt bothered to think 
that he might wonder why she was reaching across his table.  She sighed
"I am really going to have to get this under control," she thought as
she searched for an answer that would satisfy the tall man who was now
staring down at her.   His grand bearing and flashing cloak made her
feel even smaller in her borrowed garments.  Finally she stammered out,
"Ex-excuse me sir, I was just cleaning up my... flowers, I'm sorry 
for the mess."

The stranger glanced around, and it was only then that she noticed that 
the black rose was the only flower on this table.  All of HER flowers
seemed to have been centered around her own table.  She realized with
a blush of embarrasment that this man had not noticed her display
until she pointed it out to him.  "So much for not attracting 
attention," she muttered under her breath.  She decided to try and 
make the best of a bad situation and started to back away from the
table mumbling an apology as she moved.  Her mind was already moving on
to her next option "Perhaps I should search for another inn," she
considered, "It seems i have made my presence here all too noticeable."
Still absent mindedly clutching the black rose, she turned to go.......
