Sleeath lookes up, she had noticed the elf walk in, and curiosity 
got the better of her.  She determined to catch the elf's eye and 
invite him to the table.  SHe checked her glass, quickly drained it
and slipped out from behind the table and headed over to the bar.
Ordering another dring she smiled (which made the pale scars show 
slightly more than usual) and said <well met, fellow traveller, would
you care to sit a while with me, and perhaps share a drink?>
With that (and looking a little uncomfortable, as if asking for company
was not a usual thing) she placed a few assorted coins on the bar, and
walked back to her table, seating herself against the wall again.
She gestures for the elf to sit with her, there are no other people at
the table.
