*Lady Mercury sighed and rested her head on Leytan's shoulder, her body relaxing*
"It's been too long Leytan, a lot has happened since then, though it would be fun to stay for awhile, I don't think it prudent, considering the current situation you're in. I'll not be responsible for sending you back ot the hangman's noose!"
*Lady Mercury gently pushes Leytan away, and kisses him lightly on the cheek. She turns from him and kneels next to the bed, retreiving something*

*Leytan smiles, not his normal sinister smile but a one of genuine warmth and affection. He reaches down and strokes Isable's hair the hands of expert killer changing smoothly into the hands of an expert lover.*
"Your right Isabel. However we can't go to far from this room just yet. My partner is meeting us here once he's got his stuff from his own room."

*Ann-Marie paused a moment before she reached Wren's door, taking a deep breath before taking the small steps towards it reaching for the bunch of keys that hung on a circle of metal on a belt around her waist. Lifting it up towards the keyhole while her other hand went to twist the door knob but the door opened at just the twist of the door handle causing her to jump slightly in surprise and pause a moment just letting the keys drop back down at her waist while her other hand reaches for something, she bends slightly reaching down to her knee, the door opening slightly causing a sliver of light from behind her to show into the darkened room as she rights herself and brings a small dagger out of her boot. The dagger was small and very basic but still sharp, She opens the door slowly looking into it before stepping into the slightly lightened darkness turning her gaze to the window first to see if it had been broken into.*

Instinct took over. Wren stepped forward, clasping a hand around the intruder's mouth to prevent any exhultation of sound and tightning the other around her fist, forcing her to lose her grip on the dagger. It took several seconds for him for the evidence of his eyes to drown out his instinctive response to neutralise an enemy threat.
'... Ann?'

*Her eyes narrowed slightly. her body tensing slightly as she feels the hand wrap around her mouth and the hand over hers causing her to wince and loosen her grip on the dagger but not quite release it, almost gulping inrelief as she heard Wren's voice though then her fiery temper rose slightly and she lifted a foot up and forward bringing it back down hard onto his foot while biting his hand at the same time. Even while laughing quietly into his gloved hand, waiting for the hand over her mouth to loosen slightly before tugging her head back so she can talk.*
Of course it is you over grown shadow hider!
You would think with some who is as now known as you are you would at least show the skills and talents to deserve such cause.
Can't your eyes see what's in front of you or just merely very nervous at the moment to watch?

The effect was comical. 'YEOUCH!' Wren yelped, and instantly let his hand go and nursed his foot whilst hopping theatrically around on the spot. After the pain subsided, he coughed and drew himself up, trying to restore some of his former dignity.
'I do apologise for that, Ann, but for reasons you've probably gathered by now I'm slightly on edge. In fact, I was just making my way out, I don't think it's in my best interests to remain in Wolfenden for the forseeable future.'
Wren suddenly felt rather awkward, and found he had trouble keeping Ann's gaze.

*Ann-Marie brings the dagger back to the boot and then while trying to hold the laughter rising inside at Wrens actions she walks towards the door and closes it shut as quietly as possible before turning back to Wren a moment in silence unsure what to say but decides to light a couple of candles in the room. Giving a more friendly atmosphere and some heat in the cool room.*
I know Dal just showed me a wanted notice that has arrived about you and Leytan and a young woman. I came up to clean out your room and then Leytan's afterwards.
*She pauses a moment again but leans against the desk slightly.*
..So what did you...do?

Wren was silent for a time. When he spoke, it was slow and deliberate.
'I killed a man. He was a wanted criminal, living out his exile in bloated luxury. We tried to bring him in alive, but he died before we could escape his mansion. I escaped, but Leytan was arrested and sentenced to death. Would have swung too, had I not sprung him. Now both of us are on the run. Probably got half the bounty hunters in this realm after us now. They'll be looking for us and anyone we've had dealings with.'
Wren looked away, deliberatly averting his gaze.
'I'm sorry Ann, I never wanted this to happen. If I'm seen here, people may start making enquiries. Unfriendly enquiries. I can't let anyone here be put at risk, least of all you.'

*Lady Mercury arches her eyebrows in surprise*
"The famous Ice Killer is working with someone? That makes a change for you" Lady Mercury says teasingly

*Leytan smiles a sarcastic smile at Lady M.*
"Yes The Ice Killer is working with someone."
"But not just some comman cut throat. Another Mercenary and assasin. This kids as good as me both in skill and the brains side of the buissnes. If it wern't for him I probaley would be swinging from the Gibbet right now."
*thinks for a moment*
"Plus he one of the few people alongside you that I've ever met who I could call a freind."

*Back further in the customer quater's.*
*She nods her head slightly in his direction as he speaks letting him finish completely.*
But he was not a good person? Or someone purely random that was in the wrong place at the wrong time was he?
I mean there is a great difference between someone who was merely in the wrong place and was a innocent and got killed than there is to some one who was actually truly dark of heart, is there not?
I mean a great deal of the time people spend their lives digging up and killing weeds, or poisonus plants or animals because they are killing plants or animals so on and so forth but then there is also a great big difference between plants and humans. I men a plant does not choose to go out and kill other plants or intentionally harm them where as people can...I'm not quite sure I am getting across the point I am meant to be getting across but hopefully you understand what I mean.
As for unfriendly questions I am sure they will be handled appropriately but I do agree you and if Leytan is traveling with you he should also leave Wolfenden. You may not be able to be arrested here but you certainly can be caught by those that are not of the law abiding kind, especially with such coin being offered for your heads as well as the female if she is still traveling with you.

*Lady Mercury smiles slightly, and inclines her head at Leytan*
"My thanks, glad to see you still class me a friend, though I would've thought I was something more!"
*Lady Mercury giggles, then sticks her tongue out at Leytan, for a moment looking like the girl she used to be*

'He was a criminal' Wren said with clenched teeth. 'Murder, blackmail, everything. If there is such a thing as natural justice, and as an Assassin I believe so, then for him it was long overdue. I seriously doubt many tears will be shedded for his loss.'
He sighed. 'Do you think... less of me? Knowing now what I am?'

*Ann-Marie watches him for a moment before turning and walking over to the window, looking out at the town, lanterns lit along the walls and some still walking home so long after the sun had set.*
Then he deserved what he got.
*She mumbles quietly under her breath before inhaling sharply.*
Truly there is little I know about you Wren and not exactly sure, a mercenary is all that you are. That would be like saying a "serving wench"...
*She says the last words in a voice mimicking a typical male customer at the inn, obviously finding some distaste in the common given title.*
Is all that I am, when all it is is the job I currently do and perhaps the two are very different but at the end of the day when everything is boiled down then that is all that they are and to know what you truly are would take a lot longer than what time we have already spent together.
*She pauses a moment taking a last look outside the window before turning around to face him once again.*
Though the answer is no I don't think any less of you. I was a little surprised when I read the wanted notice but it did not make me think any differently of you.
