Jaina Lefevre 'whispers' to River. "He's a body guards person and he losted Miss Sil. S'okay, she's kinda mean anyway. Ya don't mind losin' the mean ones so much. Mister Tau'd never lose Miss Portia 'cause she's nice."

River Grau 's head tilted slightly as he catched the conversation. "What job yah gona get." As Portia moved closer to him with the cup of water, his eyes widened into saucers. "Uhh.. turn for what?" With all the sugar and dirt coating his hands and face, it might take more than a cup of water. "No water! My tattoo will dissapear!" That word sounded much more better than 'face paint'.

River Grau snickers as Jaina answers his question, "Haha.. I'm a better body gaurd than him." Yup, he was taking his Jaina body gaurd title seriously.

Portia Kass pretended not to hear Jaina's comment since she was fairly certain it wasn't meant for her ears, but she couldn't help smirking just a little. It dissolved into a pout as she batted her eyelashes at River. She sat back down on her crate, bringing herself to his level. "Just a little?" she wheedled. "I promise I won't take the tattoo off," she said. At his level, and upon closer inspection... yes that boy seriously needed more than water and a hanky... he needed a full blown bath... probably 3-4 of them, but Portia could only do so much.

Tau Haalan shook his head, shruging up to the big man. "Sorry fella, not gonna be tonight. But tomorrow or the night after surely." he pulled a card, and handed up to the man. "Tonight is about family. Speaking of... who are you guarding? The Mayor himself?"

Sterling Coakes took the card, reading it before he dug his hand deep into his pocket. He closed his coat over him to keep himself warm, which was easy with the many layers of clothing he wore. "Nah, you're alright then, tomorrow's fine," he replied. "As for whom, I have no idea. S'up to the mayor. He also asked me if I did...wet jobs.." he paused, looking at the children and at Portia for a moment, before his gaze rested back on Tau. "Maybe even Sil, I suppose. But we can catch up later tomorrow then."

Portia Kass wasn't paying too much attention to the conversation floating between the two men behind her, she gathered that it was something business related and tonight, that was the farthest thing from her mind. At teh forefront of her mind was getting the little bugger in front of her, one or two shades closer to his actual skin color.

Tau Haalan nods at the man, glancing at hte others, then back. "Wet job, hm? I offered myself up as general muscle to his needs as well, for side cash... but he wasn't so forward for me. Then again, I hired on specifically to guard Portia."

Jaina Lefevre glances up at Sterling at that one, her expression shifting from "sugar-rush child" to "inquisitive intelligence". She looks from Sterling to Tau and tips her head, obviously listening - and more oddly still, obviously 'getting it'.

River Grau frowned and eyed the cup of water in Portia's hand. "Fine.. Go an' was off the dirt but dun' hurt the tattoo. I dunno how to get 'nother one unless I pay the lady again an' I dun' wanna do that. I'm savin' my monies from my jobs."

Sterling Coakes nodded his head slowly. He folded his arms across his chest, breathing in for a moment. "Well, I better leave you to it then, Tau," he said, looking over at Naomah for a moment. "We'll talk more deeply about this later, for now, you all enjoy yourself, you hear?" He forced a smile, tipping his hat to them in his courteous manner, before turning away. "Cheerio!" he waved over his shoulder.

Portia Kass smiled victoriously and re-wet the handkerchief. She placed her fingertips lightly under River's chin and looked him in the eyes. "I promise, the tattoo stays in tact." Every other spot on his face, however, was about to get mercilessly clobbered by water and cloth, and Portia tried her best to get as much grime and stickiness off of him as the hanky would allow. It involved a lot of re-wetting and sometimes pressing a bit harder than she really liked to, but over all her touch was gentle for the most part. She paid particular attention to the boy's mouth but was very careful not to touch the skull as she'd promised. When she was more or less satisfied with it... (she would have needed soap and some rather harder scrubbing to get him truly clean) she picked up his hands one by one and started going to town on them. When it was all over, the hanky was gray all over. Portia dunked the whole thing in the water cup and then rang it out over the grass and spread it across the table to dry, then dumped the murky water into the grass as well.

Tau Haalan watched Niobe come and go, blinking. He also nodded his goodbye to the big man, offering him a wave. "Take care man, I'll be in touch." Final

Active Assignment Weekly: April 18 - April 25: Pour Me a Drank!

(No it's not a typo...read it with a "ghetto" twang ;-)

The assignment is to take a photo of a drink. Alcoholic, non-alcoholic, hot, cold, shaken, or stirred, just make it pretty! I have had a few submissions lately that have really given me a love for this type of photography, and I hope to spread that love!

Restriction: Keep it simple, with no distracting elements that don't tie in with your drink. This means NO human element (not even a hand!)

Dare: Make it ad worthy!

WIT: I had this idea in my head all week to mess around with a shot glass and some brightly coloured liquids. I decided the perfect place to attempt this was the bath tub using shower gels etc. so easy to clean up. I had shot glasses lined up with colours, the same shot glass with different liquids stratisfied and this is what led to this shot. I tipped the shot glasses and allowed the colours to run and mix.
