Picking up his discarded blade, he racked it for a moment before he stretched out, scratching at his side as he waddled over to the older knight, smiling. "It is good, yes?" Jayla said, cupping Ennis around the shoulders, squeezing and shaking him. "To be born brothers upon the sand, now tested? House Sands would do well to make a note of us, yes?" Ennis cringed as Jayla accosted him. It felt like something he'd never quite get used to. "Yes, something like that, I'm sure . . ."

Lilyan bowed out and headed to into town, finding not only the tavern in question, but also scouting through potential buildings that could serve her purpose. A fine House would be difficult to furbish after all.
"Excuse me," Some time later, as Lilyan approached the keeper of the Cackling Adder. "I was told to find a... Carellen Swyft or Erika Lloys here?"

Gars of Draketown looked up from the mugs he was polishing, then jerked his head over to a table by the windows, where two women were sitting and having a chat as they drank.

Lilyan gave Gars a demure smile and nod, walking over to where the two women were sitting. She left a coin on the bar for his response, though it would have barely covered the cost of a beer.

The two women noticed her as she approached, their eyes alert and guarded.
~~~~~~~~~~
Lady Sands made her way into the courtyard as Ser Hugo was briefing Ennis and Jayla on their new duties as sworn swords. "Both of you showed promise...But I'm certain more training and instruction would not hurt." She remarked as she joined them.

"I think she means you, Annus!" Jayla bellowed, chuckling in such a way that his chest began to rise and fall almost independent of the rest of his body. He cupped the former Knight around the head, laughing. "But that is for another day, is it not?"
"Come. I'd have drink with my brother." He offered, looking to their new benefactor. "And the Lady will come too, yes? Would you leave two men to go without fine escort? Someone might think us bewildered man-lovers. Come, my Lady Sands."

Alayna's eyes narrowed and she would have moved but Ser Hugo was the faster. His gauntleted hand immediately cuffed Jayla. It wasn't as hard as he could have made it but the threat was there.
"You are too familiar. You will address Lady Sands with the proper respect due her station, and not as though she were some common whore."

Even with the threatening physical contact, Jayla laughed, instead just backing off slightly with one-arm raised in surrender, the other too occupied with grasping Ennis's shoulder.
"Easy, easy." Jayla teased the situation. "One would do well to remember I did not call her a whore."
He took a moment to smile, looking at the woman.
"He called you a whore, yes?" He chuckled. "Where is his slap? Jayla doesn't require a beating to be reminded. Forgive this Islander's affections, he is too long without company, none so much as beautiful as Lady Sands or Brother Annus."
"Sorry, but you're not on par, Lord-Ser-Knight." He said, turning to his attacker. "Apologies. I'm sure a 'common whore' would not judge, yes? Jayla might even partake."

"Carellen Swyft?" Lilyan asked as she swept her dress modestly and sat at the table with them on the rough wooden seat. She looked directly at neither as she said, and gauged their responses from the words, meaning that when next she spoke, she could address the one she wanted. "Erika Lloys?" She said it looking right into Erika's face for a moment, before turning her attention to Carellen and then the both of them.
"Lilyandra Valra." She gave a little gesture to imply herself, meaning that they were now all introduced. "Neither of you mind my forwardness I hope."

Ennis narrowed his eyes at the very insinuation that Lady Sands was anything but, well, the Lady of her House, and nothing short of beautiful, at that. Jayla was indeed far over the line, and far too familiar, but . . . at the same time, he enjoyed it. It was like a child who would never turn down a dare, accepting challenges of varying lengths of stupidity and brashness to impress their peers. It was this gall that he saw in Jayla, whether he meant it or otherwise.
That, and the fucking Islander might just get his head lopped off for the trouble. Which he wouldn't particularly mind, either.
All Ennis could do was shake his head. His formerly stoic expression broke, his amusement obvious at Jayla's blatant disregard for the 'honorable Ser Knight'.
"Seven Hells," was all he could muster up as he chuckled, his arms crossed as he looked on.

Alayna Sands took in the bruising Jayla had received from Ser Hugo's cuffing, satisfied as she saw how quickly his skin was already changing color and there was blood on his split lip. "Enough, Ser Hugo...see to it they are properly accomodated." Pause. "I will require Ser Ennis to attend to me later, when he finds the time." She added as she turned away and went back inside.

Far more brutal had battered Jayla throughout his life, which was shown in his outward visage and his almost testimonial attitude to defiance. He used the knuckle of his index finger to dabble at the blood on the corner of his mouth, also staining his teeth when visible in his almost ever-present smile.
"You would beat upon Jayla for acknowledging your discrepancies?" He chuckled, rising to his feet as he gargled blood, spitting it onto the sands at his feet. He grinned. "Find me on the sands, Ser Knight-Friend, and quickly find yourself without hand to batter this poor Islander."
He stood close to his 'friend', watching her leave. His eyes lingered. He then turned with his entire body to face Ennis, a knowing smile on his face.
"Ser Annus to attend the Lady Sands." He said. "Smiling Jayla attends to her with affection and compliments and you merely need to spout off that you saw her and you're already cock-deep inside of her."
He got real close to Ennis.
"What sort of vagina spellcaster are you, Ser Annus?" He asked.

There was no denying it; Ennis witnessed firsthand his 'Brother in the Sands' or whatever he had called himself get struck by Lady Sands' manservant like a mangy cur, and he did all of nothing to stop it. And yet, through it all, the fool lived up to his namesake; the Islander smiled through the entire short but brutal ordeal, and rebuked the armed mongrel in kind, in his own way. That alone, he had to greatly respect.
"Something like that, indeed," Ennis laughed, this time taking the initiative to clap Jayla on the shoulder. "Ride beside me, my ebony friend, and I shall show you the ways; all it takes is a little finesse."

She gave a little gesture to imply herself, meaning that they were now all introduced. "Neither of you mind my forwardness I hope." "Hardly. What brings you to our table, Miss Valra?" Erika inquired before sipping more of her drink. Carellen on the other hand, remained silent, watching her closely.

Lilyan gave a smile. "To be honest, the two of you were recommended to me. You see, I'm looking for... opportunities to utilize my..." She paused as though considering her words, and inhaled so that her chest was more obvious. "... talents."
