Lia stands up hurriedly while throwing her fork down." This is unbelievable. Truly unbelievable. Perry is a little… sensitive. He was right though. Eating like absolute animals. Eating habits formed in private turn into public habits. How are we to eventually have dinner with influential people? Everyone eats like they are orcs who found the last halfling in the Realms." She begins to leave the room but turns around." Some of you I expect nothing more from… "She looks at Poljen. Lia then shakes her head and looks at Velon." Others however.. I expect more from.
I'm very disappointed." The cleric turns and stalks from the room.
Mari looks around with bemusement at the group." I think we should try to purchase the white mask. I have people here in Baldur's Gate that sell to the Zhentarim. I could speak to them and mentiion our interest in the mask." She shrugs and awaits their response.

Cratol is headed down to get some dinner when he sees Perry storming out of the dining hall and is standing there with a confused look on his face when he sees Lia come stomping out of the Dining hall. He looks at her and says "Am I too late for dinner?"
As Perry leaves the room, Poljen calls out, "Having someone talk down to you, using big words, because they think they are so much better than you, does not feel good, does it?" He snorts as the bard keeps walking. Then Lia speaks up and also stalks out. The tall one shakes his head and makes to rise, but then pauses and looks at Velon.
"You two are our leaders. Either you work this out with her, or there will be all sorts of hells to pay." He thinks for a second then says, "If you wish me to talk to her, I will. But she'd more likely listen to you."
Velon just stairs and Poljen for a second while he finishes chewing his food. "What are you looking at me for? I didn't say a word." He takes a moment to collect himself after the drama that just unfolded.
"I don't think you have to worry about the Blaze falling apart because Lia got annoyed with my manners at dinner, anyway, in which case it's little of your business. You and Perry are the only sensitive ones here, trading insults back and forth because a relative stranger has offended you so. Go and fix your business and save us all your own drama or we'll have to call you Princess Poljen, the Sensitive Leopard. Are we really spending this much energy being upset with one another over table manners when I've just finished addressed the group on numerous threats and opportunities we need to look into to stop Tiamat's return? Save your rage for the Dragon Queen would be my advice. You can even trade insults with her if we fail."
"Where the hell is Cratol, anyhow? Every single time I wait for the group to get together to speak to everyone, he is somehow not here! I guess it doesn't matter anyhow, he doesn't listen or speak." Oh, there he is…
Tazskan, stops slurping, his ale after Perry's apparent disgust of the lack table manners. Looks his way, after his discourse, and is about to say something, then notices Lia walk out of the room.
He tones down his, abrupt table manner's adjusting to the tone that's been set. He notice's Cratol entering, and relaxes a bit.
"Mari, I thought you didn't trust the Zhentarim," He says to her.
"I think we should go after the whereabouts of this horn though," he adds.
Looking back and forth in bewilderment at the bickering between Blaze members, Lawrance starts to quietly prep a detect magic, wondering if something is affecting them adversely. As young as he is compared to some of these people he has begun to think of as friends, he can't understand why he suddenly is feeling older-minded.
Following the conversation back and forth, food forgotten in the heated words lighting the air, he looks at the other, silent members at the table, eyes wide.
Specific Action: Not really pulling out my spell book for this, but doing a Perception check just in case.
Poljen looks a trifle worried. He is obviously considering his words carefully before speaking. "If you think this is about manners, then I fear your judgment has truly become… inaccurate. But before I say more, would you prefer to speak with me in private, or here in front of the rest?"
Out of Character: : Main Thread or Side Stories, Cinder?
Velon just shakes his head at their drama queen barbarian that takes insult at every turn from anyone they meet, and says "Go about it then, so we can get back to the many urgent topics the Blaze needs to address here." He waves his hand openly to suggest Poljen should just speak here.
Out of Character: . This is what I get for adding some flavor to my post about Velon eating ravenously after just recovering from 4 levels of exhaustion in an attempt to otherwise keep addressing the laundry list of leads and loose ends to keep track of for the party…
PS I'm still going under the assumption that Velon does not know of the secret mission to try to lure Zhents or other enemies to the 'inn'. Perhaps we still haven't heard from Niko if he pursued the one following Poljen or let it go?
