settles herself in the chair and carely removes her cloak and hood, long white hair cascades down her back onto a long white silk flowing gown, fitted around the bust and hips with thin straps upon her shoudler and flowing outwards at the bottom.
She glances at the menu for a moment "May i have some wine and fresh meat, well done, with some vegtables please.." her voice just above a whisper as she speaks, soft and dlicate in tone.
She smiles to Ladt Lilith as she makes her toast but remains silent, not being used to such things as toasts having spent a long time traveling to then be brought to such a place.
She waits patiently for her order before now responding to the ladies question,

"I am very well thank you. How about yourself and of course you sir?"

again her voice just above a whisper as she lets her hands rest gently upon her lap.

[color=darkblue:b7lrs18e]The server takes the menu from Illiams hand and goes over to the trays of food, filling a plate with her request. Once th plate is full, she brings it back to the table and bows herself off, going over to wait by the other two servers for this table.

Darius smiles as Illiam asks her question, [i:b7lrs18e][b:b7lrs18e]Fine lady. This is so far a pleasant turn out, although I'm hoping it will grow to more than just us.[/b:b7lrs18e][/i:b7lrs18e] His head snaps around as a small arguement breaks out between the two female servers. [i:b7lrs18e][b:b7lrs18e]Excuse me ladies, I need to head this off before it gets out of hand again.[/b:b7lrs18e][/i:b7lrs18e]

He approaches the two in a menacing stride, his eyes looking daggers at them, while he speaks in a voice so calm and casual that it takes them aback. [i:b7lrs18e][b:b7lrs18e]Ladies, I'm sure if you were to ask them, they wouldn't be offended. Remember this however, if you cause them any harm, whether it be physical or mental, you will not work here anymore.[/b:b7lrs18e][/i:b7lrs18e] All this is said for their ears alone, not wanting to embarass them any furhter by making it public.

He then calmly walks back over to his seat and smiles at the two women he's sharing a meal with. [i:b7lrs18e][b:b7lrs18e]Sorry about that. They like the female part of the population more than the male. I think they were fighting over how to go about asking one of you to dance with them, and who should be the first to dance with the one they chose.[/b:b7lrs18e][/i:b7lrs18e] He shakes his head, smiling a bit ruefully at the way things are now a days and goes back to his meal as the two female servers talk quietly between themselves, casting looks at both the women.[/color:b7lrs18e]

OoC:I don't see why a little story would be out of place, ot may even do this thread some good.

"Well then I will tell my tale, until the ladies over there work up there courage. But if there intentions were towards me, much courage indeed must be worked up, for many consider me nothing more than a demon.A prejudice that hurts me dearly, for the demon in me is far back, but I have grown accustomed.As for my tale, here it is.
As I flew here from my home in Waterdeep,I happened to see below me a small band of goblins. I have to admit there is a game I am fond of playing.I call it bowling for goblins and for a flying creature it brings a vast amount of amusement.So I chose to partake of my game, sweeping down upon the unsuspecting goblins, roaring , most unladylike, the foulest sounding syllables in infernal that I could think of.As normal, it worked admireable, the goblins ran screaming into the trees, minus the ones that fainted dead away on sight of me.So after landing and looking about for more to terrify, I happened to catch notice of some movement amongst the trees.
When i looked I caught a faint glimpse of black flesh and white hair, enough to make me believe a drow might be in these woods.These woods are not known to frequent my little cousins , so I followed, fearing they may be in some danger.
Well , no ranger am I, so I fear that shortly after I became lost. But every time I thought to rise into the skies and leave this place, I would see another glimpse of the illusive drow.
Before long, I was thoroughly lost and exhausted, but I continued forward, finding myself in a small clearing by a brook.I stopped for a drink and saw the reflection of a woman across from me.I looked up immediatly , and was astonished to see a drow woman, smiling at me.
She was garbed in scant little, but she seemed to be encircled by moonlight.Her long white hair floated about her like a veil, and her face was so beautiful it was breathtaking.She smiled at me, and then raised up on her toes and spun , as if dancing.Then, she simply disappeared.
Perhaps it was not but the workings of my exhausted mind, or perhaps, just perhaps, I truly saw the Lady in that clearing.I know not, but I do know that I owe her a great debt, for it was her teachings that saved me when I fled the Underdark, and her followers who took me in when no one else would look past my frightening visage.Some day I hope to know for sure."

Carefuly and slowly eats her meal, minding ehr manners as she does and sipping her drink every so often. She perked a brow at the sound of the argument between the two female servers and then watched as Darius walked over to them. before diverting her attention to the Lady once more,

"Please, do tell us about it.."

her head tilted slightly as Darius came back and she found herself smile from his remark of the female servers,

"Well i myself do not often dance, but if one was to ask be it male or indeed female, i would feel oblidged to do so"

a light blush presented upon her dark skin before she looked down and continued with her meal as she listened to Lady Lillith tell her story. She listened with great interest and chuckled at the bowling for goblins and in awe for her description of the great lady,

"Perhaps you really did see The Great Lady. Even if you did not it still must have been as you say.. breathtaking"

She smiled and continued with her meal, enjoying every single mouthful till the very last, before sipping the wine once more and placing her hands delicatly upon her lap with ehr hands clasped together.

[color=darkblue:rlfspmd8]Darius listens intently to Lilliths story, while paying attention to Illiam's reaction as she speaks of dancing, whether it be with male or female. His eyes grow intnent as Lilliths' story comes to an end, and he chuckles about the bowling for goblins. He sits back and thinks on her words about a lone, scantily clad drow female in an unknown wood some place.

[i:rlfspmd8][b:rlfspmd8]I have no idea if it was the Dark Maiden or not, but I can tell you this. I met such a female myself after I came from the underdark and searched out a home for nearly thirty years. She was under attack from a group of knolls. Luckily enough, I heard the comotion and had the element of surprise, or maybe me and the lady would have been slain that day. After I saved her, she offered me a certain reward, but I refused it, as I don't do those kind of things, no matter how attractive the woman may be, and trust me, my heart almost melted at the sight of her, both scantily clad and unclad. After my refusal of her offer, she smiled at me and said what brought you to this area kind sir, and I told her that I was following some sort of pull at my heart and soul. She just smiled and said come with me fighter, I will lead you to the place you seek. She took off running, faster than any one I'd ever seen in my life, and I took out after, but lost her after a few minutes, and I have extraordinary tracking abilities. I roamed for the rest of the day and on into the night. About midnight I heard some strange yet joyful music off in the distance, and I followed my ears until I reached the site that it was coming from. In a clearing there were both nude and scantily clad males and females dancing, playing, and singing to the Dark Maiden. As I approached, one of them turned to me and bowed, she looked exactly as the female I'd rescued that afternoon, but somehow different. She looked into my eyes, and in so doing, showed me what my heart was seeking, a place on the surface where I could dwell, if not in peace, at least in harmony. Ever since then, I've been running this hall for those that like to dance, no matter who they happen to follow, simce we Eilistraeens do our dancing under the moon and stars.[/b:rlfspmd8][/i:rlfspmd8]

As his tale comes to a close, he looks over head, to where the ceiling should be, but is nothing but an opening, looking onto the true nightly constellations, where even as they sit and enjoy a meal and conversation, the Dark Maiden dances above them.[/color:rlfspmd8]

"What a beautiful awakening to the lady! I wish I could claim mine as the same, but I fear it was not.Im afraid I may have been misleading when I stated that I had run from the Underdark, but I did not.In truth, I was dragged out, chained and bound in magics that prevented my casting spells to defend myself.Below, I was a very unsavory person.I was a slave trader, dealing , specifically, in pleasure slaves.I thought that my slaves, even the ones I sold, where bound well to me.In lust, in fear...it was all the same, they would not lift a finger against me.
But I erred in one. A male drow, and a follower of Eilistraee, I later came to discover, his service to me was in pretense, for all along he plotted his revenge.
At a time when I was defenceless, he captured me, knocking me down with a blow from behind , he excaped the Underdark with me and dragged me to the surface world.
Blinded from the wicked day star, defenseless, and naked, he sold me on the auction block as a slave.
I was bought by a pimp, and spent a nightmarish year in a seedy brothel, until someone discovered the place and burnt it to the ground.
I was taken in by the followers of Eilistraee, who healed my multiple wounds, for I never gave in to the demands of the clientele, and always I fought,but most of all they healed my anguished soul, and taught me a new way of life."

A deathly pale human man sweeps into the room and takes in the decor with a wince. He is dressed all in black, when he moves it can be seen that his cape is lined with red material. He moves over to the small group and smiles widely, showing two oversized incisors. "Good evening." He says in a thick, almost purring accent. "A rather small company tonight I see."

*The door opens, and two figueres enter. A drow and a human. The drow was a female much shorter then her human companion. She was wearing a noble's outfit like her companion but it had a bit more trinkets. She wore a silken dress of a pale blue coloring. she wore an elaborate pair of boots.
The human was a female, noticably taller then her elven companion. She wore a noble's outfit, although it wasn't so plentifull on the trinkets. Boots wer covering her legs. Both human and drow bowed to the pople in front of them and took a seat at a table near by.*

*The human was obviously not wery enthused about being here. She spoke to her companion in a frustrated voice*
- What are we doing here, again?

*The drow smirked, and replied playfully as if teasing her*
- We are here, so that you can learn to behave yourself.
*She continued in a more serious tone*
- We are here so that we can talk to something other then ghosts, vampires zombies and most importantly werewolves.

[font=garamond:20uh2u98][b:20uh2u98][i:20uh2u98][color=green:20uh2u98]An orcan woman arrives on the scene. She has almond shaped red eyes with pupils like that of a cat and thick wooley black brow. She is dressed like a barbarian and sports a gold ring in her nose. Between her two teeth that curl up like small tusks out from her deep green lips she smiles. Her jet black hair is long, nearly down to her waist with intricate braids decorated with beading that adorn either side of her grey green face. Her red eyes scan the scene as she cautiously takes her place at a table among the other patrons. [/color:20uh2u98][/i:20uh2u98][/b:20uh2u98][/font:20uh2u98][/size:20uh2u98]

Lilith looks at the pale human man curiously, her nostrils flare a bit , trying to sniff him,
"Good evening to you, sir, "She says, cautiously, and then turns to face the females that have arrived and gives them a smile,
"Good evening to you all as well."

The pale gentleman smells strongly of dry must and decay. Not the sharp, unpleasant smell of a corpse or rotten materials but the damp smell of a fresh grave. He bows low and goes to take the hand of the lady in front of him (Lilith) as if to kiss it.

[color=darkblue:1hw19qru]Darius takes note of the new people coming in and seating themselves, especially the man that came in, thinking that something seems familiar about him. He nods to each in turn, smiling polietly, [i:1hw19qru][b:1hw19qru]Welcome all. I hope you enjoy yourselves in this place of dancing and feasting.[/b:1hw19qru][/i:1hw19qru]

A new group of servers comes out, carrying menus for the new guests, a male for the man, and females for the ladies, even the orcan woman. The servers politely bow to their patrons, holdong out the menus for the to peruse and decide on their meals.[/color:1hw19qru]

[font=garamond:14bdra1b][b:14bdra1b][i:14bdra1b][color=green:14bdra1b]The orc woman points to a picture of roasted boar and drawing a circle around it with her green finger, indicates she would like the entire boar. She looks over the beverages but unable to figure out anything more as she cannot read the particular writing, simply points to a random beverage and pushes the menu back across the table. She reclines in her seat and crosses her large bare feet, which are adorned with ornately carved pieces of bone. Her red eyes glance around the room. She snorts a sigh.

She nods politely, but removes her hand quickly after he kisses it. She smells very unique, of magic, with a faint underlying scent of sulfur and brimstone that not even her rose perfume can cover,but a new scent is rising up in her.The cloying scent of fear.
