"Well actually I meant that she goes out and in and out and she is really quite lovely. She likes you Jerrard." the Kender grins, placing a few silver in the bowl. "You all seemed to like it." she says to the others, a little shocked at bab's generosity.

"Indeed Locky, I doubt she see's a single copper." Jerrard says with anger in his voice. He fixes his gaze on the woman for a single brief moment. "She is a slave."

Babushka shakes herself, muttering "I want to get away from this land".

"It has its attractions, but i agree." Jerrard blushes and goes back to the food.

"I...don't know why I did that," Thuskar admits.

"Yeah...it seemed like a good idea at the time, but now I'm completely broke," Ulster says, scratching the back of his neck.

"Me, too," Thuskar agrees.

As Malika leaves, she passes by the party's table and subtlety drops a folded piece of parchment right in Jerrard's lap without missing a beat.

When he checks the note, it reads in Common, "I'll knock twice on your door at midnight. We can talk then."

"Silly." Locky mutters, handing him 10 Stl.

Jerrard hastily grabs the note, slipping it into a pocket in his robe, saying nothing.

"Thanks," Ulster says. He and Thuskar split the money, five steel each, and both pocket it.

Babushka looks into her now empty purse, and, muttering something in Gnomish, stands up. "I'm ready for bed" she declares in Common.

"I'm coming too!" Locky jumps up, taking the Gnomes hand, "We still haven't had that pillow fight!" Locky was more than happy to share her money, it mean't nothing to her, nothing at all.

"Indeed my dear, you were quite taken with the performance." the Mage smiles kindly, stroking her hand a moment. "Do not worry about it."

He tries to think of what happened during the performance, but his mind keeps going back to Malika, and her dance.

Imani lets out a sigh as she stands to head to her room. "I can't believe I just gave away all of my money," she says. "What was I thinking?"

"It was rather strange." Locky comments as she stands.

When the two girls go to their room, Babushka occupies the washbasin first, preparing for the night, turning a deaf ear to Locky. She creeps under the covers and turns her back. If the kender inquires, she will say, a little gruffly, "Let me sleep".

If Locky really leaves her alone and turns to ready herself for bed, she will suddenly feel a pillow in her back, thrown with full force!

Locky does indeed get ready for bed, miffed at Babuskha's reaction, she pulls off her robe, preparing to jump in bed when she feels the pillow hit her back.

"Hey!" She shouts, grabbing her own pillow she darts forwards, striking the Gnome with a big smile on her face.

Babushka throws up her hands and legs to ward off the pillow, grabs it, throws it aside and tries to grab and tickle Locky.

Locky falls to the floor, pulling Babuskha over with her, giggling loudly she runs her hands down the Gnomes back and tickles her back.
