Khaelli flashed the bearded man a bright grin and took the nearest chair to her right, hoping he would not see how frazzled she was. It was never a good idea to approach strange men in taverns, but desperation often drove her to do the unseemly and the downright unthinkable. She needed information, and she had so very little time to obtain it.
The barmaid noticed Khaellii's presence and approached the table. Khaellii wordlessly pointed to the glass of cider that the Dragon-slayer-wannabe was nursing, then indicated with two fingers that she wanted two glasses of cider, one for her and another for the bearded man who had invited her to join them. The barmaid nodded her understanding and left immediately to retrieve the drinks. Khaellii turned back to her table companions.
"So sorry to intrude, but I am wondering if perhaps either one of you could help me with something. I won't take much of your time." She stole quick glances at each of them and licked her lips nervously, wiping her damp palms on the worn and tattered brown skirt that she wore. Before she could continue, the barmaid had returned with the cider and plonked them down unceremoniously in front of her and the bearded man. She paid the barmaid 6 gcs for the two glasses of house ale and resumed her, thus far, singular dialogue.
"I am looking for a green witch, one who knows herbalism in conjunction with the magic of healing. Would either one of you know where I could go to find this person?"
Thanks for the pointer! I am starting to understand how to do this.
