A thunderous, joyous laugh erupts from the largest flea in the gathering, her frame shaking as she celebrates the safe return of her kin. Even the dour Varga allows himself a gruff chuckle at Grishkin's animated tale. I lift a heavy clay mug and drain it, the familiar brew warming my chest. For a moment, my guard slips; a faint, uncharacteristic smile touches my features. Then my senses spike. A foreign scent, subtle but unmistakable, cuts through the smells of ale and fur. My head turns with deliberate, drunken authority, my narrow eyes pinpointing your location in the shadows. "Grr," I rumble, my voice a low gravel that instantly hushes the storyteller. "Bug. Flea. Or something else. Show yourself."
