Rabbit gives Key a smile, leans forward and kisses her forehead."You are a sweetheart. However, I suspect those hooves are not interested in return, which if that is the case I understand. He seems like a nice guy I can trust as a friend, it is good to have a lot of friends. I have a lot of baggage.”
Rabbit takes another swig of ale."I do kind of like the idea of a house, maybe give us a sense of more permanence then we already have.”

Key stops shuffling papers for a moment thinking. “I didn’t get that impression either, but you never know until you ask. On another note. Donyou know of any houses in the city for rent? It’s going to have to be some place nice, my husband has exacting standards.” She says the last in a nasel tone, a poor imitation of an aristocratic drawl.

Rabbit thinks about it momentarily."Actually thinking about it you will probably have to buy a place. I don't think they rent the nice villas where your spouse will want to live, and he won't want to live in the Warrens.”
Rabbit downs yet another swig of ale."That may cause a problem, I definitely won't be tolerated in the nicer areas, and I guarantee Luke and Te will both be shunned. I suspect you need to convince your husband to live down near the warrens if you want the rest of us to live with you. Although its ok if you have your own place, we can all meet over there anyways.”

Key sighs in exasperation and shakes her head. “Worste case WE can live some place near the warrens and HE can stay where he is. It will be his choice ultimately. I don’t think I can afford to buy a place in that part of town.” She finishes with her stack and moves it aside. Key moves the plate a food into place where the maps where then begins to nibble from it. “If we’re closer to the warrens then we can all help Luke take care of the people there.”

Key nods to her friend. “I would like to live near where Luke and Te work anyways. I have started to like helping with that. It is a good way to forget everything else.
Rabbit looks thoughtfully for a moment."it’s funny though. Normally I can feel things out of my sight that run along my skin, almost hear a voice talking to me. It has always been like that since I went through the Ritual of the Handmaiden.”
Rabbit takes another sip. “I don’t hear or feel that when I am next to Luke. The same thing happened with Glorion for a little while, but that went away after we went to Temple of Gusi and barely avoided the Basnat. It is still like that with Luke though. I wonder what that is about.”

Key thinks for a moment while she chews. “Could it be their auras? I mean Glorian was pretty shiny until... you know.” She shrugs uncomfortablely. “Im just guessing, Im sure you’ll feel much better after we get yoir tattoos removed. How is that going by the way?”

Rabbit chuckles at the question. ”Things are going well enough. They have me meditating a lot. Luke is waiting on his head priestess to finish researching what they are going to do before putting me through anything. Hopefully it’s soon.”Rabbit’s face grows more concerned, “How are you doing right now. You have a lot of stress, I am here if you need anything.” RABBIT

Key’s eyes go soft. “I’d like to be there for you when you go through the ritual. Im okay, I’m meditating a lot too. Mostly, Im trying not to borrow trouble and taking things as they come. Glorian is as safe as he can be and Im pretty sure that no one is interested in killing a monarch with no lands or people.” She pauses before continuing. “It’s still a bit hard to believe. Im trying to find a paper trail. I think if I can see proof in front of me then it’ll be easier to believe.”

Rabbit nods, “Of course you are welcome to come.”Rabbit looks into her mug for a few moments. Then looks up at Key. “I think it’s right. This is going to sound weird but I was good at targeting high ranking humans and elves. Even when they would hide as an anonymous soldier I could still tell. Not that it was worth much but you would have been my first target followed by Luke and Jack. I realize Glorion is technically royalty but that isn’t what is in his blood. Take it as you would.”
She just shrugs after that. RABBIT

Key looks a bit surprised. “So it wasn’t a surprise to you when the talking sword picked me.” She pats the sword at her side. “Sure as hell shocked the shit out of me!” She calls for another round of drinks then turns back to Rabbit. “Do you think that will go away after?”

Rabbit smiles at Keyleth. “Oh I was surprised that you are a Surana. There is a hell of a lot of reward out for anyone with your bloodline by my people. Fortunately everyone believes the line is gone.”She winks at Key, “Before the Suranas were killed off, they became really good at picking off my people. That wasn’t appreciated.”She sits back, “As for that ability, I hope whatever is touched by the Spoder Goddess goes away, probably though by now a lot of my insight is experience too.”She empties her cup, motioning for the serving girl.

Key chuckles. “So I shouldn’t think about taking on that last name any time soon. I’m definitely not feeling as though I want tonhunt you or anyone like you. Quite the opposite.” She smiles and takes another bite of her food. “Im going to choose to think positive. Your,” she lowers her voice to an almost inaudible whisper. “blood rage will go away at the very least.”

Rabbit gives Key a friendly leer and a wink, “The opposite huh...”
She takes the new drink given to her by the serving girl. “I am not holding my breath on the rage, I have had that as long as I remember, it’s one of the reasons I was selected for being a handmaiden.”
Rabbit shrugs, “although I would love it if it could be removed.” RABBIT

Key gives Rabbit a look full of ‘you know what I meant’. “Do you think that’s why they chose you? I wonder if it wouldn’t effect you as strongly after. Im sure all your training didn’t help is suppressing any of those inclinations.” She takes a few more bites and a swallow of her water. “I know this is a weird question, but have you ever thought of starting something that helps other drow flee the underdark.?”

Rabbit gives a mock shocked look, “I didn't realize anyone of royal blood could be so... close minded.” She erupts into another laugh, almost spitting up ale out of her nose, "Besides, you don't know fun if you haven't had a heavy girl's thighs wrapped around your face... unless there is also a boy involved, that is even more fun." She says thoughtfully.
Realizing she was probably a little to over the top for Key she blushes slightly. “No one knows what the actual reason is, the high priestess chooses the handmaidens when we are young, and our training is changed to incorporate it. It was my grandmother at the time who chose me, before my mother took over. Although I do think the propensity for the rage is part of the selection process. Also it is an honor to the family, so sometimes choices are made I am sure for political expedience either for more honor, or to remove one of the family from inheriting the throne.”
Rabbit looks down at her drink and then up, giving Key a pained look, “I am sorry if that was a little much, the thick girl comment, I get nasty mouthed when I drink more then a cup or two.” RABBIT
