"Wanna, uh... help me with the dishes?" Rek asked, glancing at her, hoping for an opportunity to talk to her.
"u and rina are systematically watering down the grammar of yws" - Atticus "From the fish mother to the fish death god." - lehmanf "A fish stole my identity. I blame shady" - Omni [they/he]
"Um... maybe drying?" He offered her a washed plate, dripping with water. Then lowered his voice to a whisper. "Ray?"

she grabbed the plate and jumped slightly lowering her voice as well "how do you know that nickname of mine..?" she dried the plate off and set it on the pile of dry plates
"... You don't recognize me?" That was confusing. He'd thought she did. Wasn't that what her signals were?
"u and rina are systematically watering down the grammar of yws" - Atticus "From the fish mother to the fish death god." - lehmanf "A fish stole my identity. I blame shady" - Omni [they/he]
"i do recognize you, i just don't know where i recognize you from..." she looked over at him and then realized,lowering her voice "Rek?!" she was shocked at this point
"Shh!" he shushed her, even though she hadn't been loud. He glanced back over his shoulder, but it didn't sound like anyone was listening. "But... yeah... it's... wow. Crazy seeing you here."
"u and rina are systematically watering down the grammar of yws" - Atticus "From the fish mother to the fish death god." - lehmanf "A fish stole my identity. I blame shady" - Omni [they/he]
"i only came here for a meal, i didn't expect to be held hostage, i would've done something by now, but i fear i would put the others in danger, especially you.." she smiled softly "its nice to see you again after this long"
"And you," Rek agreed quietly, dipping his head. "And... yeah. I think it's best to just be peaceable about this. For now, anyhow. I'm not interested in the risk of bloodshed."
"u and rina are systematically watering down the grammar of yws" - Atticus "From the fish mother to the fish death god." - lehmanf "A fish stole my identity. I blame shady" - Omni [they/he]
"I don't know," he murmured. "I kind of want to see how the ransom plays out. We can always just bide our time and send someone to seize the money back. Father won't stand for this."
"u and rina are systematically watering down the grammar of yws" - Atticus "From the fish mother to the fish death god." - lehmanf "A fish stole my identity. I blame shady" - Omni [they/he]
"someone is already after the bandit that has attempted to send the ransom to the owner of this tavern, they're on the bandits tail as we speak..." she smirked "after its settled thats when we strike..."
Rek nodded slowly. "We'll just need to be smart about it. Better to lose face than life."
"u and rina are systematically watering down the grammar of yws" - Atticus "From the fish mother to the fish death god." - lehmanf "A fish stole my identity. I blame shady" - Omni [they/he]
"we need to wait until the bandit thats attempting to send the ransom is put down before we strike, while we wait, we need to figure out a plan instead of jumping in like mere idiots..." she glanced over at Rek "any ideas possibly?"
