[Angelique]

---

Angelique watched with interest Tai Kwan Leap entered the mall. A samuri, short in stature and randomly yelling out battle cries. "Perhaps a few too many blows to the head", she mused to Arella on her hip. She directed him to the bowyer shop on the second floor where he could have his bows modified and went about her work.

Eva wandered in the Mall in search of bookcases for a home she was decorating, took one look at Angeliques swollen feet and instructed her to sit and keep them up for a while. This second pregnancy with the twins so soon after Arella's birth was not easy on her body.

As she sat in the scribe shoppe with her feet up on the desk, playing with Arella laying over her round belly, Tai returned downstairs. He inquired of a play manuscript Angelique had told Poet she would trade him. Tai apparently did not know where Poet was but said he would return with the book of poetry to trade her for the manuscript. In short time he had returned and traded her not only the book of poetry but also some loosely bound journal notes. The notes were bloody and hard to read.

As she inquired of them he said he had found them in front of Poet's home, but had not seen Poet. Jokingly she told him, he might look at the Orc fort, surely the orc would want that blue ribbon winning club of Poet's for some major clumpin'. Tai stated he would go right away and look.
Setting the books in her pack and continueing to joke with the man Angelique warned him, "you best change out of that fine shiny valorite suit. Orcs like gypsies like shineys but unlike gypsies they dont trade."
"I shall change and return for inspection." Angelique laughed, stating she would be gone but he could check in with the old man in the wedding dress that ran the alchemy shoppe for his fashion inspection. With that she left and went home to feed Arella and rest her feet.

Later as Arella napped, Angelique pulled out the books and read them over. The poetry was quite good. "Perhaps something Isk would like."
As she looked over the journal she tried to make sense of it. The samuri had pages out of order, many were torn and there were blood stains blocking out much of the writing. The more she read over it the more serious her concerns grew. "I sure hope that Samuri knew I was joking about going to the Orc fort or there could be two of them to find and rescue. I shall have to show this to Isk."
