*Lady MErcury frowned, as if pondering Leytan's question and then nods slightly*
"It does, for now!" she says with a grim smile

*Leytan is unsure what to make of Isabel's sundern swith in moods. But that along with a sence of something being wrong, just added up to him sudernly feeling both uncofortable and very vulnrable staying in this room for much longer. He made up his midn he would go to Wren's room instead of Wren comeing to his.*
"Come on Isabel, change of plans. I sudernly get the feeling we should leave this room quickly, call it Mercery intuision."
*he said tryig to sound glib*
"but i've got that same feeling in my gut i used to get when Scareye's raiders were around but we couldn't see them."
"We'll go to my associahtes room collect him and get out of here."
*Leytan was noticable preturbed and anxious.*

Wren felt genuinly relieved.
'Thank you. I didn't want us to part ways with you thinking that way about me. I know more than enough people who fear and despise what I am. I... don't want you to be one of them.'
Wren suddenly seemed to feel awkward somehow. Sincerity wasn't something he practiced on a regular basis. He very rarely let people see the real him. So why was he opening up to someone he barely knew?
Wouldn't you like to know? uttered a voice that Wren was beginning to dispise intently.

*She nods her head very slightly a moment before turning her gaze once more outside then towards the room door.*
Speaking of parting ways, perhaps you should starting making your way to some where else and take your friends with you. They will be as highly sought as you are...
*She smiles faintly trying not to laugh at the earlier scene when she had stamped on his foot.*
Though perhaps they are more deserving of such.
*She smiles playfully.*
Will you need any food to take with you where ever you are going?

*Lady Mercury smiled to herself, glad that she was keeping Leytan on his toes. She stood up off the bed, and frowned as she picked up on his unease*
"SO, I'll be expecting trouble then?" She said, trying to lighten the mood, "After all, it does seem to follow you" Lady Mercury said teasingly
*She laid a hand on his cheek and murmured to him, "We'll be fine, we've gotten out of worse situations, but it's always best to be prepared!"
*As she finished saying this, she picked up the last of her belongings, and with a slight movement of her hand, they seemed to vanish. into thin air. Lady Mercury murmured something under her breath, and turned to face Leytan*
"Well, I'm ready when you are, have you got everything?"

*Leytan reached up layed his hand on Isabel's hand that was touching his cheek and gently stroked it.*
Your right. I'm a little jumpy at the moment what with the shadow of the noose only just removed from around my neck but a few short hours ago. I'll get my last few things and then well go.
*Leytan quickly finished packing putting his equipment and clothes into his travaling bag.*
Right ladies first.
*He said and went and opened the door for Isabel to exit by.*

*Lady Mercury smiled at Leytan as she walked past him into the corridor*
"It's not surprsing that you're jumpy, considering I've also given you a surprise!" she adds playfully, trying to cheer him up

Wren's eyes lit up at this question.
'That would be fantastic. I don't know exactly how far we're travelling, but I can tell its quite a trek. We could use as must sustenance as we can.'
Wren looked at the floor briefly, awkwardly trying to put his thoughts into words.
'I... really am grateful for you taking me in as you did all those weeks ago. I honestly can't remember the last time I felt so at ease around another person, and to feel that in someone I just met...'
Wren gulped. He was dangerously close to rambling. Wrap it up quick man before you look a twerp.
'I don't know how long I'll be away, but I won't forget your kindness to me.'
Nice going fool. What's your encore, sonnets?

*Leytan smiled weakly back but his hart wasn't in it. Something felt out of sync and that was makeing him feel ill at ease, though he was not sure if it was something, or if it was simply the events of the day Catching up and affecting him.*
"Come on Isabel lets go get Wren so you two can get aquainted. His rooms just down a floor."
*Leytan lead the way going as fast as he dared with out drawing attention to them.*

*Ann-Marie picked up on Wren's unease and tried not to smile at the poor mans discomfort, he looked kind of sweet in a odd kind of way and though she was tempted to try and tease him for such she decided that he must have enough on his plate with out making him feel any more uncomfortable..*
Well I did not epect you to be able to estimate how long your departure would be..
*She pauses a moment in the sentence suddenly feeling slightly uncomfortable herself, the mile fading as she looked back toto Wren.*
.if you will ever return at all that is.
*She reaches into a pocket of her trousers pulling out what appears to be a small leather bracelet with small, ragged cut crystals of varying colours of red to lighter shades and small patches of white hardly seen in the light of the room.*
These crystals are what my family call in the common tongue sunstones, this was given to me when it came my time to leave. We believe they offer protection, I do not know if you have any beliefs in such ways but just perhaps they will give you protection on your journey to where you are going.
*She moves a couple of steps closer before lifting her arm up and offering him the brcelet.*

*Lady Mercury nodded, and followed Leytan, her eyes searching the walls and corridors in front of her as she walked behind him*

Wren bought his fingers up and felt the texture of the crystals between his thumb and forefingers. He marvelled at the way that the faint glimmer of light caused the stones to sparkle a deep red hue, and he carefully lifted the gift from her outstretched hands.
'Thank you, Ann Marie. I'll keep these close. I'm sure they'll be a great comfort in times to come.'
Wren wracked his brains for something to give to Ann. Slipping the bracelet into the pockets of his cloak, his finger idly traced the outline of his last ring from the Sheikh's fingers. The deceptive voice of his self preservation screamed at him to hold onto it, that his need was always greater than anyone else, but he quashed it.
'Here' he said, taking the ring out and holding it in his palm. 'Something to add to your savings.'

*Lady Mercury hurried along after Leytan, then her eyes flashed as she felt someone cast a spell.*
"I suggest we hurry, they may already be here to catch you, I suggest we pick up your friend and make a hasty withdrawal!"
*Lady Mercury headed down to where she guessed Wren's room was, from Leytan's earlier comment, glanced at the door and then muttered to herself, "Well, no point knocking, if he's anything like Leytan, he'll be loitering behind the door anyway"
*Lady Mercury glanced back at Leytan and then threw the door open, and stopped dead at the sight in front of her*
"Well, I have to admit, your friend has good taste when it comes to romantic proposals! Shame he's not down on one knee though!" She called back to Leytan

Wren stared, then blinked. He opened his mouth to say something, then shut it. He tried again, and met with similar results. Finally, he threw all sense of conflict out of his head and went for what sounded natural.
'Who the hell are YOU?!'

*Lady Mercury looked Wren coolly up and down, before walking further into the room*
"I can't say I care much for your tone of voice, to be honest, I am accompanying Leytan, as he had to pick up his associate, though he never mentioned his associate would be in the middle of proposing... I have to admit though, you do have a flair for dramatics, I like the cande lit back drop"
*Lady Mercury looks around approvingly*
