*Alanna exits the staff quarters and glances warily around the room. Not seeing Thom, she sinks onto a stool with an exhausted sigh and watches the crowd.*

Elaine sinks down onto a stool next to Alanna. She glances around. Seeing nothing that shouldn't be there, she sighs in relief and says, "Good even, Alanna."

Elaine still looks fairly rough, and her hair is once again becoming messy. Her eyes are red and tearless. She tries a smile but it runs off her face quickly.

[a_lioness]

Good evening, Elaine. *Alanna looks her over, not at all happy with what she sees. She speaks quietly.* What's the matter, lass?

[maid_of_astolat]

"Oh. Nightmares. And things." She waves a hand in the air. "Meg tells me such things have been happening quite often of late."

She sounds much calmer than she is inside. Inside, there is still something that is screaming without respite.

[a_lioness]

*Alanna stiffens.* You're suffering as well? I'm so sorry. Yes, it seems the entire bar is afflicted. *An odd look crosses her face.* Is no one safe? *Sighing, she leans over and pats Elaine's arm.* If you ever need anything, no matter what time of day, let me know. You know where to find my room, correct?

As he passes by, Norrington's attention is caught by Alanna's sword and dagger, and he can't help a brief double-take.

[a_lioness]

*She catches his eyes and smiles. There is something recognizable in his carriage.*

Good evening, sir. Are you in need of assistance?

[scourgeofpiracy]

He smiles back, noticing the same something familiar in her, though he's not used to seeing it in women.

"No, thank you, madam. I couldn't help noticing that rather fine sword of yours."

[a_lioness]

*Alanna laughs, belatedly noticing his own sword and what appears to be a gun. Instantly intrigued, she straightens on her stool and nods. Normally she would bow, but several restless nights have done a number on her manners.*

Thank you, sir. It is fairly new. I confess I've spent more time polishing the blade than I should, but I'm rather enamored with it at the moment. *She eyes his sword again, a hopeful look in her eye.* Are you a knight?

"It's been a while," Indy says with a smile, pulling out a stool next to her. "You been ok?"

[a_lioness]

Indy. *She smiles hesitantly.* I've been better. How are you?

[henry_jones_jr]

"Uh... I've also... been better." He recognizes the grim demeanor. "You too huh?"

[a_lioness]

*Alanna shudders involuntarily.* Goddess! Indy, are you alright? *The anger sets in, and she hops off her stool. Looking into his eyes, she fumes.* This is ridiculous.
