Talani appeared at least once, as the Scaled Edelweiss (as in with scale) during some work for the guild, and it was largely exaggerated (to her delight). Didn't stop her from keeping and framing the article to hang in the Rogue Guild.

As usual, the Drowning Wench was lively and noisy. What was really funny was that, in the middle of a bunch of Roegadyns , it was the Lalafell standing on the table, heroically retelling a very unlikely story, that was the loudest. In normal circumstances, Ezekiel would have laughed, probably even joined to grab a free drink or two by putting it on their tab —already long enough for them to not notice two more. But tonight, Ezekiel wasn't feeling it. Nursing his first drink alone for some time now, he seemed lost in thoughts or the bottom of this mug was really marvelous. That's probably one of the many reasons why he didn't see Talani before she actually started talking, close enough for him to feel her breath on his skin. "Well, well. Look who is here." It took everything for Ezykiel to not screech in surprise but his hands tightened around his tankard as he turned his eyes toward her far-too-cheery voice. Despite the smile at the corner of her lips, he knew that it was not a friendly visit, nor a happy coincidence. He already saw her looking at someone like that once, like she was five feet taller than them when she definitely wasn't. But at the end of the encounter, she was not anymore the one looking up at the other to talk to them. Not that the poor person was in any state to respond or react anyway.

There is a follow up where Talani, Kotyan's sister, confront Ezykiel after the facts.
Since it's far longer than the previous little drabble, I will share a preview and the rest will be on gdoc!

Talani Malqir
Occupation: Trouble Magnet

Talani ran away with her little brother from the Steppes because all she wanted was freedom. She's a free spirit that doesn't bother with rules (unless it's Koty asking). Her moral compass is a little loose and she likes pretty thinks & people.
