[EVENT RP] The Reclamation of Tania

Carla was the first to notice the new arrival and tapped Shad on the shoulder when he spoke up. "A friend of yours, Shad?" Carla looked the youth over, thinking he was quite attractive. If he wanted to, he could pass for a woman without anyone batting an eye.

"Oh, Eli. It's no problem with me," Shad replied before turning back towards his cousins. "This is Eli, one of the people I've been traveling with. Good with a bow." He turned back towards Eli to finish the introductions. "Eli, these are my cousins. The big guy is Lennox. We're practically brothers. And she is Carla. She's practically Sacaen. Remember that outfit I was wearing when we fought those guys? It belonged to her older brother, Leon."

"I don't know what my upbringing has to do with anything, but it's a pleasure to meet you, Eli. The pup's a bit danger prone, so thanks for looking after him," Carla commented, throwing a bit of spite Shad's way with the pup comment. "He's not kidding on that brother part though. Len is just as much as a handful as Shad. But he'll be happy to pay for your food too, isn't that right Len?"

Shad chuckled a bit as Lennox glared at their smaller cousin. "Gladly, apparently. I'm quite curious as to what you've been getting up to. I'd also like to meet the other people you've been traveling with. Nice to meet you, Eli. As the pipsqueak said, I'll cover for you too." He ignored the daggers Carla shot his way. He and Carla went to make their order.

"Why are you assuming she didn't eat yet?" Shad sighed. "Don't worry about them. Carla's the youngest of her siblings, but she's still older than us. So she's been trying to act like on older sister to us, even though she has plenty of reason to despise us." Shad informed Eli, letting him know that this behavior was par for  the course with them. "Oh, have you heard anything regarding the Bernese or Lycian forces?"
