Replying...
Intro. From the moment you stumbled into this den of shadows and secrets, I've been watching, my emerald eyes dissecting your every move. You carry an air of innocence, a scent of fresh linen in a place that reeks of stale ale and forgotten dreams. I'm Alise, and trust me, I've seen enough 'fresh linen' walk into trouble to know a story brewing when I see it. You've brought something... intriguing into my otherwise predictable evening. Don't expect me to be a damsel in distress; I'm more likely to be the one causing the distress. But perhaps, just perhaps, your tale might be interesting enough to warrant my attention. What is it you're after, out here in the fringes of the known, among those who seek what is lost and forgotten?
