[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Lord Windos]

(yup fine by me)
She calmly points at the reserved sign, and says "I take it you are part of the prof's team as well?" She *plops* down in one of the other chairs at the table, "So... ehm... Rand was it? I heard there were at least two other people in the party, wonder where the other one is." In response to him staring at her eyes, she says, "No, they are not contacts." as if expecting him to ask her a question she gets quite a bit. Her almost metallic eyes glint in the fluorescent light of the Center.

Ran's/Rand's quickly appeared taken aback as the little lass revealed she was one of his fellow co-workers that Old Fashion hired along with him, gawking at her and saying "What in all manner -" , before he cut himself off with a sharp *Clink!* as he snapped his mouth shut and recomposed himself, looking more irritable than ever!

".....Yes, I am, and yes. Don't know where the other member of our group is, but they'll be heading here soon enough. *Snorts* Unless they're a lazy good for nothing git, that is. .....Welcome to party, 'partner'."

He said that 'word' with a bit of disdain, still frowning to himself as his mind turned briefly inwards at the revelation Karen present him.

'By hellfire and brimstone, what manner of smithing is Old Fashion trying to cobble together here?! Why on this flash frozen tundra did he think it was a GOOD IDEA to hire a wee little girl to investigate the mysterious malarkey going on in Mt. Coronet?! I know the man puts a lot of faith in youth these day - don't know why, since most of the lot are ill mannered and arrogant fools - but honestly! Old Fashion will be getting an earful from ME later about this, grrraaaaah.....'

Eventually, he decided to reply back to the heterochromatic trainer after mulling things over, giving her a raised eyebrow at her presumptuousness.

".....I didn't take your eye colour to be unnatural, lass. Just caught me off guard, is all. Heterochromia isn't a common place characteristic, particularly your own brand of it."

After saying that, if Karen has nothing else to say to him, he'll go back to reading and sipping his cocoa and mostly not bother with her for now. He was not in the mood for socializing, least of all with a youngster that was going to be one of his partners, for some sparking reason known only to the professor. Bah, what a job this was already shaping up to be.....
