Ob nods at something one of the patrons says to him, working his way back to Panodra. He makes a detour to the bar, picking up an omelet for Pandora. He smiles at the spicy aroma. Patti has outdone herself.
He places the plate before her and gives her a kiss, assuring her everything is under control. He is VERY grateful Her Highness hasn't made an appearance. He meets Miko's gaze and nods once. As he turns away, Rachal flits up to him. He offers his palm and she alights, chatting and pointing at the bar. He offers her his shoulder and heads to Tori.
Tori motions to the man, telling Ob that he is looking for Joseph Ramirez. Ob thanks her and makes his way around the crowd towards the human. Careful Bro... Silk thinks these are the emissaries for the one she hunts. He sends her an affirming grunt, and a reminder to let Ike know to keep their abilities on the downlow. he touches Stoney's mind, asking him to keep everything from Alise until it was over. Let her rest bro... she and the babies need it.
He affects an even deeper accent, letting his heritage fall over his shoulders like a cloak. "I hearrr you arre looking forr me sirrr. I am Joseph Rramirrez. How may I help you?"
The man explains that they are traders in antiquities. They had heard he had a sword, and that he might be interested in learning the value of it. Ob smiles and assures the man that yes, he has a sword, but no, he was not interested in learning its value, as it was invaluable to him. He keeps his mind open for his sibs to read, following the man to his partner's table.
Ike appears, playing her most bubbleheaded persona. "Hey there, Joe! want something to drink?" She smiles and winks at him, cocking her hip. Monty pauses at a table nearby, listening. He flirts with a patron, taking their orders, then moves on to another neighboring table.
The men start trying to sell Ob on bringing the sword to their hotel room, telling him that they could give him a great price. Ob assures them he is not interested in selling. As they talk,the band takes a break and people begin to "stop by" the table. Ob greets them all, making sure the men see him as someone who would be missed should he go missing. The men soon rise to leave.
"Mr. Ramirez, please understand. Our employer is VERY interested in your sword. He has been collecting 'enchanted weapons' for years and would love to add your sword to his collection. He will pay handsomely." Ob shakes their hands and bids them goodbye. Turning his back on them, he walks away.
Silk watches the frowns that cross their faces. One man reaches to his side, but his partner shakes his head. "Not here." Monty watches them from the corner of his eye, as they leave. He informs Ike, who sends the thought to Ob.
