As Vanelee conversed with Matt and Dreggan, he kept a slose on eye on Nina, who was trying to disguise her easedropping by playing with her food, but she had one major tell. Her ears perked up as she listened, much as an elf's do when listening intently, this was a dead giveaway for Vanelee.
'Why is this girl really here..' Vanelee began to think to himself, but his thoughts and slight suspicions were interrupted by a drunken guard who had just entered the hall and was making a ruckus. With this, his mind was cleared of all thoughts and he returned to his careless demeanor.
Turning to Dreggan, with a smile once again on his face, Vanelee said "Dreggan, you are not nearly as bad as you say you are, I can tell. And as for us being here, I haven't a clue either, but it must be of some importance for all these warriors to be gathered in one place."
Finishing these words, Vanelee turned back to the table and picked up another stem of grapes, eating them in same fashion as before, savoring the sweet taste.
'Mmmmm..' he thought.
