She knows the Leonards. And Straylor.
A silent alarm rang in her head and suddenly whatever confidence was burning behind Seyren's eyes was snuffed out like a candle flame. Her face suddenly grew pale and suddenly the Leonard found herself out of words to say. Nobody was supposed to know her this far north and even though she had been too lax what were the chances she would've met someone who was obviously related to the Leonards in one way or another, one to a million?
"I-I see, you k-know Stray..." she stammered, hands suddenly and noticably trembling not from the cold but from a feeling that was alien to the usually overbearing Seyren. "He's g-getting married I see..." she chuckled nervously wondering how this woman knew Stray and if she knew any other Leonard. It would've been a problem is she knew about Seyren's alleged kidnapping back in Medonia, surely there was no way for news to travel that fast now was there? She sure hoped there wasn't.
"Trysvale huh..." she memorized the name of the city, perhaps she might just seek out Stray when she became desperate enogh, he was a generally nice guy and seemed open to crazy ideas, at least back when they were children. "Maybe I'll drop by and congratulate him..."
Seyren's eyes narrowed om front of Iseult when she asked for her whereabouts. "Originally Medonia but..." she needed to think up a lie, anything as long as it was believable. "I've been moving around s-so much that I've never really considered Medonia much of a home." with that said Seyren once again down a couple of gulps from her cold pint of ale and suddenly there was that slight buzzing in her ear, her regular reaction to alcohol, the first sign that she was steadly becoming inebriated though it was strange - she hadn't even finished the whole mug. She looked down into the depths of the mug, beyond the thin layer of froth. I didn't ask for drawven ale... did I? Seyren rubbed her temples shaking off the lightheadedness, the last thing she needed to become right now was drunk.
