((you rolled dice and got me!))

Almond eyes peered beneath pearlescent hood as the young female entered the Inn. Fingers of left hand clutched a thick ledger whilst right hand twirled a strange ornament that looked almost akin to fool's gold.

Approaching the barmaid, Wu inhaled deep and looked resolute as she helped yet another young soul this eve. Sure it had cost thirty gold, but, love had no price!

"I have found it! The answer to your prayers sweet friend! Now I purchased this from a very reputable troll in Shatraath, and it is said to find your heart's desire and even make them irresistible to your charms!"

Needless to say the young maid with mouth agape cradled said knecklace as if it were a newborn babe. Nodding rapidly as she fastened it upon her own neck, Wu smiled and waved away any payment. Love was the ultimate reward afterall.

"Nothing at all! Just remember whom to ask for a wedding dress!"

Exaling softly through her nose Wu placed her ledger in her travelling bag . Next she did lift herself up into the nearest seat available and swung her legs over the edge whilst pursing lips as almond eyes roamed the expanse of the inn.

A male at the fireplace caught her eye. Deep in his own thoughts undoubtedly. Eyes turned milky for a time as she beheld his souldance. Not entirely dark, not entirely light, just the right balance. Eyes regained their normal sheen and Wu regarded him with a tilt of the head. This time of night...Alone...Her lips parted.

"Oh but he be lonely and unloved!Or..maybe ..a broken heart?Or..maybe he loves one he cannot have!"

She thought in earnest. Wiping a tear with a shred of shadowweave cloth she sighed and tapped her fingers together as if waiting for a right moment. Looking to the fireplace she bit her lip and with a flick of her wrist and a murmur of choice words, the flames roared to greater life as a bolt of flame was released. With this she half grinned , half blushed.

"You looked cold!"

Wu pressed her fingers to her rose petalled lips as the elven male spoke. Was he speaking to her or the poor kitty who jumped? She had not meant to do that. Departing her mouth, fingers sought the enchanted fabric of her hood and grasped it, lowering it to her shoulders. What was revealed were two ever so clean pink bunches of hair.

"I sorry sir! I don't speak your lovely tongue. That is your language. Not that it isn't a nice language. I 'd like to learn it! Not meaning that I think any one has the right to learn it but, I'd like to. But not to say it is an easy language for a Gnome t olearn! But..a pretty one. Oh! And that is if you were addressing me and not your kitty. I mean lion! Erm companion?"

At that moment Wu jumped with suprise as Allison placed a cup of sweet nectar in front of Wu. Her small nostrils twitched as it smelt so good and grasping the cup with both hands she drunk greedily, her head nodding to Allison in gratitude as almond eyes shone happily.

Almond eyes flowed from contents of cup, which had now diminished, to the handsome features of the male elf. The male elf who was approaching her table. The male Elf with the awfully long legs and shinies on his person that caught her eye.

Rose petaled lips formed an 'o' shape as the cup made a sucking sound as it was taken from her mouth and set on the table. Composing herself, Wu grinned and swung her legs once more. Better still, he could speak common. So nicely too, a gentle voice yet thick with masculinity.

"Ooh that sounds good, shall have to tell the girls about him! I wonder if Dusieb would suit. They could sleep together, literally. That druid was always in the emerald dream and yet even as a tree she has great hugs. That has to count for something!" She thought to herself.

Blinking back thoughts Wu bowed her head and thought she rather liked his name.

"Greetings sir Daal Ravenglade, Ranger of the best."

At this she pursed her lips, that was right ...Wasn't it? Yeah, sounded right.

" I am Wuwu Wisely, Guardian of Starlight! Please call me Wu if it pleases you."

Almond eyes looked to the best ranger and then to the chair and she did motion with nodding and hand gestures for him to take a seat. After such enthusiastic gesturing on her part, fingers fumbled deep within her travelling pack and produced two ripe peaches. Her favourite Elven export.

Almond eyes positively glowed at Daal's approach and further enchanted speech. What a blessing this night was becoming. She did not notice any other person whom may have been within the tavern save for the three of them, counting Allison. Not that Wu would normally miss such things, but she was a curious Gnome and once her attention was caught so raptly it would take fire and a possible Boom from one of Omni's bombs to make her blink.

"Oh! Well only to keep you ocmpany, yes, some sweet nectar would be most welcome thankyou sir Daal."

Nimble fingers then rolled a peach out toward him as she picked the other up and chewed thoughtfully. Well now. A single elf in Stormwind. A single male elf. So much work, so few singles...that matched. She did wonder if this one liked females, males or both. But how does one approach such a subject? With tact! Upmost diplomacy! Yes Wu was an expert in such fields.

"So Daal...Do you prefer drinking from the font or eating berries from the bush?"

Almond eyes regarding him quite seriously as love was a very serious matter.

Almond eyes widened as she heard Daal's reply. Almost choking on mouthfuls of peach she concentrated on swallowing and then gasped for air.

"Oh!Oooh yes ofcourse Daal sir. I understand and I am honoured you answered my very personal question. Which I asked due to my quest in life which is to unite every lonely soul with their life mate!"

Smiling gratefully as her nectar arrived she spoke a word of thanks softly and then washed down the peach, sticky fingers clinging to the goblet.

"So, he likes males. Well that was nice. More difficult to find a partner for but not impossible! Typically most cute ones are...What was the term? Joy? Yes he as a joyelf, awww my first joyelf! I wonder if there is anyone for him in here? Maybe that's why he is here? Oh wow tis a joy joy tavern and I never knew!" She thought to herself. Well she was not called Wu Wisely for nothing.

"Hmm, that one with the cloak looks very interested in us! Oh my, maybe they think I am trying to chat him up? No wonder they look meanie!" She thought again.

Almond eyes turned milky as Wu absorbed shadow sight, an inheritant ability since her early apprentice days. Yes they truly were quite angry, the colours of their soul depicted a powerful one. Fingers itched yet this one was not necessarily an enemy. All was fair in love and war. Almond eyes regained their hazel hue and Wu whispered to her newfound friend.

"Think that hooded person is jealous that I have such a goodlooking friend to talk to Daal sir. Should we tell them you are single but not looking in case they missed it?"

Wu smiled sheepishly as she placed the half full goblet down and wiped her sticky hands on a piece of netherweave cloth.
