As Maylara finished her warming up excercises, preparing to hit the bathing room to take a bath, a young but large and strong drow was staring at her.

She was marked by a scar crossing her face below her eyes; she also had half her scalp shaved in what was a grooming option that was indicative for her ancient family…

Hanster Lo’Kee, the niece of the captain, remembered May. The messenger the two daughters of Captain Lo’Kee tricked into sending one of her letters to her parents –passing it as one of the official messages, rather than private correspondence to some unknown Hebonnor mountain elves, while in war with the Hebonnor precisely, in what could be seen even as a somnewhat treacherous acts by the two little Lo’Kee sisters, Carlae and Imojin –if it wasn’t that the issue was kept secret by the burled Hanster and Xuunera, who couldn’t accept in a public way what happened or will either endanger the girls to disciplinary actions, and will make them look badly.

The last time May encountered Hanster –in the office of Captain Lo’Kee- the acolyte wasn’t very happy at her, and she was looking for a fight…

With a smile, Hanster looked at Maylara, and gave a little smirk.

"You're getting to be rather famous, you know, spy," Hanster said. "You're supposedly a good fighter now, that's what they are saying on the streets. We should train together - I'd like to see how good you really are!"

The last time, she had said these words. But now there wasn’t Captain Lo’Kee to tell her niece to not pay attention to her agent.

However, Maylara smiled to herself, cocky. For all the Lo’Kee’s family had put her into, she actually would like to fight. As well, she was rather sure now, after her adventures, that she could easily beat an acolyte of Negeé!! She had defeated Laeh’le before, and she had matched against Carlae and Imojin, trained with Captain Lo’Kee… and she had infiltrated the Temple of Doom! Surely this will be easy.

“Sure! Let’s train, messenger boy!!” May said. “But do you want to make it more interesting?”

“What do you mean?” asked Hanster.

“How about a bet?” said Maylara with a grin. “If I win, you will deliver other letter to me!”

“And you say like if that’s so easy!” Hanster said. “Do you think the surface is only a thrown stone away?”

“Scared to make a bet then?” said Maylara, teasingly.

“it’s not that! But you should offer something of equal or similar value to make a bet” Hanster said. “And I can’t think of anything you have, I’m interested in having.”

“Awwww, you are then really a scared little drow!” joked Maylara.

“Alright! You are right, it doesn’t matter, as you can’t win!! For what looking for similar value in the bets, if it’s impossible for you to win? Let’s do this then. If You win…”

“You will deliver one letter to me.” May said.

“And if I win…. Well… I know! Your bed!”

“My…my bed?”

“Yeah! Currently I’m sharing room with my cousins and some Dahl’Araks, and I don’t even have a bed! If I win, I will have your bed!”

Maylara smiled, secure of her victory. “Let’s fight then. Any rules?”

“No weapons… and no more rules” Hanster said, as she prepared herself.
