Round 1, Flight! (EE, The Desert, Observation Thread)

[Tarset Kishan]

It seemed a common question to her. Thankfully, she'd settled on a general answer by now. "I do work for hire, usually involving bodyguarding, heavy manual labor, and collection. What about you sidi? What brings you to the city? Surely you didn't come just for this tournament."

[Arash Karuvah]

"Ah, sounds you are quite busy sayyeda." He smiled, his Ivindi accent a bit stronger on the last word. "I came here to represent my family's and empire's interests." He shrugged. "Basically, be charming, get good deals, be nice. I think."

He watched as some familiar figures let loose on the targets. "Nice bow work all around, almost. Say, sayyeda." He eyed her carefully. "What establishments would you recommend as having the best food in the city?"

[Tarset Kishan]

It was a bit of a sudden shift for her, so she took a moment to mull over the question. "...That depends on a lot of things. How much money you have to spend, what sort of food you like, stuff like that. I tend to either cook my own food or have street food from a stall most of the time, so I can't really recommend many eateries

"Street stalls? I've seen the, but haven't tried. Well, I'll certainly have to after this." Spoken with the true bravery of the mindlessly rich. "What's your favorite food, can I ask?"

[Kezia]

Rufus appears lost in thought. "I don't know the city layout as well as most. I also do not know the young heiress' tolerance for being used as bait. But if they are still intent upon hunting her, it's the only way I can think of luring them out. The trick would be picking the spot where they feel comfortable, but we are actually in control."

Rufus pauses. "What are your opinions of introducing her to drunkeness, dancing and debauchery at the caravan?" Rufus smirks. "And oh yeah, we could use that as a trap while we're at it"

"Hm, I think, as a guy from some place called 'Mare in Rey' we found on the coast said once, that that ship has likely sailed... Raya had the idea of disguising herself as the lady in question, but it wasn't attempted. But it might be an option..."

"That's hardly any easier to answer you know," she said with a slight smirk. "Most days I quite enjoy grilled halloumi and snwarma though."

"You already lured her to debauchery...and didn't invite me?"

Rufus looks over at RayA. "How skilled is she at disguises. Because, ah, how do I put it? Raya is lovely, but doesn't quite occupy the same dimensions"

[Kezia]

"You already lured her to debauchery...and didn't invite me?"

"Well, I didn't want to be greedy..."

Rufus looks over at RayA. "How skilled is she at disguises. Because, ah, how do I put it? Raya is lovely, but doesn't quite occupy the same dimensions"

"I think the answer to the question can help with the latter concern, but a bit of inspection might be in order."

"I think the answer to the question can help with the latter concern, but a bit of inspection might be in order."

Rufus nods, clearly a bit skeptical but willing to move along.

"I will happily lend all my inspection skills to the task. I could use a warm up however..."

"Hm. I think we might be able to arrange something along those lines..."
