Questions?

Ummm.....hello. To what do we owe the pleasure of your company?
Auriel frowned, wondering if she had misinterpreted the man's look. She looked at the turquiose-eyed elf and asked, "This is the man that rescued you, right? Serana saw you come into the village, and though she didn't recognize your companion, I can't help but think that the man that rescued you would not abandon you so soon, and instead..."
Auriel snapped her fingers, casting a spell that would dissolve his glamour. To her surprise, his appearance did not change at all. She began to feel the first pangs of doubt. Maybe this man is not my stepbrother. Could he be someone else?
Her confidence in her assumption that her newest stepbrother had arrived had been shaken. Struggling to conceal the desperation she felt, Auriel asked, "Uh, you wouldn't happen to know Aello Nahema would you?"
(OOC - Serana is one of the slaves that Jack rescued along with LiLu. She had originally tagged along with the others as they made their way to Verden, but a Rising Star recruiter caught up with the group before they made the trek across the border and informed them that Verden would not take the non-humans in the group. Serana, who happened to be a half-elf, decided not to try her luck in Verden, and she instead took the recruiter up on his offer to join the Rising Star.)

LeLu was shocked to hear the name Serana again. She remembered her name as one of the slaves she was with before Jack rescued them and killed all the slavers. As she recalled Serana was a half-elf Jack on the other hand was now concerned as to how this female tiefling would know who his mother was. Jack slowly grabbed for LeLu so they could make a run for it when LeLu shook her head no and whispered to him.

Jack: What is it LeLu?

LeLu: Jack..... Serana was one of the girls I was with when we met.

Jack: All the more reason to not talk about it with this stranger.

LeLu: But I'm pretty sure she is not with the slavers Jack.

Jack: How can you be so sure?

LeLu: Because she looks like the criminal from the revolution group called The Rising Star.

Jack: And you think that makes her trustworthy?

LeLu: They are rebels who want to fight slavery Jack.

Jack: What? Then how does she know my mom's name?

LeLu: What?

Jack: Aello Nahema is my mom's name. How would a criminal know my mom?

LeLu: Maybe they met before? I don't know, but lets hear her out first. Maybe she can help us.

Jack: This is a bad idea LeLu. We are trying to lay low.

LeLu: Maybe she can at least tell us what places to avoid.

Jack: Fine but we will limit what we say okay?

LeLu: Okay Jack.

Jack: Fine then.

Jack then looked at Auriel and tried to force a smile as he was uncomfortable.

Jack: Okay we are listening. How do you know Serana and my mother?
