Radae looked down at Shade, who was resting with his back against the Inn wall, his hood over his face, and his eyes closed, <>I guess<> puffing smoke rings. "May I join you?" Radae asked. "If you must," Shade replied, noncommittally.

Radae sat beside him, and drew a slender wooden pipe from within her vest. It was elegantly carved with the end fashioned in the shape of an open-mouthed dragon. Shade looked at Radae in surprise. She shrugged and grinned, "Are only men allowed to smoke?"

When he didn't answer, she grabbed a pinch of weed from a small pouch inside her vest and blew smoke rings along with Shade for a time, each trying to outdo the other in ring size, shape, and color.
