"Seņor Ravin, is something wrong? Other than the assassins lurking to slit our throats as we sleep, I mean?"

The thief turned at the sound of Isobel voice, his eyes meeting hers briefly before they slid down to her amble breasts, which threatened to fall out of the top she wore. Immediately he spun around, his back facing her now as he gulped down more ale. Ravin prided himself in self-control and wasn't about to let his hormones take charge.......at least not without a fight that is. Sure, he was a healthy male whose body reacted to the sight of an erotic woman, but unlike many other men, he rarely acted upon those urges. To him, sex was part of a bigger picture and should be shared between those who had at least some deeper feelings for one another other than simply lust.

"No, there's nothing wrong at all," he said, although his body told a very different tale. "Well, to be honest, there is something wrong. It's getting much too chilly in here, and none of us will get any sleep if we're freezing." Actually, he felt quite warm, but Isobel didn't need to know that, now did she?

A quick glance around revealed a number of neatly folded blankets sitting in a nice pile near the tent flap. Normally his movements were quite graceful, like those of a sleek panther, but now he simply lunged to his feet, spilling a bit of ale in the process. After mentally chiding himself for acting like a buffoon, he set his goblet down while keeping his eyes off the exquisite form of the woman who stretched out enticingly only a few feet away.

Quickly, he snatched up one of the blankets then hurried to place it around Isobel, who was now sitting up again. He gathered most of the material in front so that it covered her completely. "That should make you feel more comfortable," he said, lowly. And me as well. Since he was the one that had made such a big deal about the nonexistent chill in the air, he tossed another blanket over the sleeping Alakbar before wrapping one around himself as well, unaware of the beads of sweat that had popped out on his forehead earlier.

Smiling, he returned to his seat on the ground, facing Isobel now as he raised the ale glass to his lips. "How is your leg feeling?" he asked, after wiping his mouth in a sleeve. "I noticed that the Jann have camels. Perhaps we'll be allowed to ride them to the Sea of Salt later on tonight."

He cocked his head then sniffed the air when the scent of freshly brewed java streamed into the tent. Obviously, Isobel had noticed the aroma as well. "Would you like me to get you a cup? These Nerombians make it quite strong, so if you're intending to get some sleep I'd advise not drinking any right now."
