"It appears that all the Gentlemen here aren't Gentlemen at all, so I'll buy me own pint. Scheherazade, would you be so kind? I'd also like that lamb leg you got cooking there."
After gathering up her food and drink, Jess decides to sit with the Barbarians.
"Hello!" Jess says, directing her speech to Eric. "You're Norse, correct? My mother was dear friends with a Norse woman named Jess Sveinn, my namesake. Perhaps you know her family? She's obviously long gone by now. It's unfortunate that Human lives are so short."
Jess took a long swig of her pint of mead, and tore into her leg of lamb.
Jess turned her attention to Tesni.
"I've heard of the Hightribe. Certainly a mighty and frightening bunch! You fit the description."
Jess takes another bite of her lamb.
