Valaria gave 1 buttered crumpet to Saerithia.
Saerithia stares in awe at the butteryness of the crumpet, a soft gasp passing her lips.
You starts to hand Valaria a few diamonds when the duck that has been following her waddles into the tavern. He makes his rounds, pecking everyone's feet then stops in front of Saerithia. The curious fowl flaps his wings a few times, taking a small flight and lands in the woman's lap, inspecting the crumpet Valaria just handed her. Xaan glances at Valaria, shaking her head slowly as the duck quacks loudly and begins shaking. Before anyone can remove the the feathered critter, he does the one thing he's good at....explodes.
Ryeanna places her hands in front of her eyes and takes cover from the explosion behind Mesthak.
Valaria flinches and places her hands her head, dodging any pieces of crumpet or Saerithia that may be heading her way.
Saerithia eeps as she is sent flying out of her chair and hit the wall behind her. She blinks repeatedly, then glances around at everyone, her clothes singed quite a bit.
Saerithia just kinda sits there, not knowing what to think.
Valaria said to you, "Guess that crumpet wasn't all it was quacked up to be."
Saerithia blinks at Val's words, then quickly tosses the bits of crumpet back to her, not wanting to get exploded upon again.
You blinks a few times then turns to Valaria, "Why me? Why does he follow me around?" After a couple minutes, the small duck waddles back over to Xaandria and Valaria, settling down for a nap on Valaria's feet.
Saerithia gave 1 buttered crumpet to Valaria.
Valaria sniffs the singed crumpet, picks off the burnt pieces and eats the rest.
Valaria ate a buttered crumpet.
Saerithia gets all paranoid-like and glances around the floor of the tavern, seeing if there are anymore explo-ducks about.
You chuckles at Valaria, "You didn't save any for me?"
Valaria pouts and shakes her head at Xaandria, but sweeps the crumbs off the table into her hand and holds them down to the duck.
You cringes as the duck lifts his head, slowly pecking at the crumbs in Valaria's hand.
Saerithia continues to look around, somewhat shifty eyed as she seats herself in her chair once more. A loud creak is heard from the badly burnt chair beneath her, then it suddenly collapses into many singed pieces beneath her. A soft yelp is heard from the vampiress as she lands on her rear. Sae grumbles softly to herself, then remains seated upon the ground, not really wanting to move as she fears she may have quite a few splinters in her hind end.
Valaria carefully pets the duck's head with the fingers of her free hand. She glances up at Xaandria. "He's rather cute...there's not a trigger or anything on his head, is there?"
You glances at Saerithia then back to the duck and Val, "Not that I can tell. It's just one of those random things."
Saerithia ponders never doing another random thing again unless she makes sure there isn't any ducks around.
Saerithia grumbles softly to herself again, then stands up slowly from the floor. She lets out a heavy sigh, then ventures outside.
Saerithia exits south.
