Renewing Old Aquaintences

[Lady Mercury]

*Lady Mercury had followed Leytan and Wren to the site, and smirked slightly at Leytan's comment*

"Another friend of yours Leytan? My my, you do seem to have developed an eclectic band of traveling companions! I think it's going to be fun traveling with you!"

*Lady Mercury smiled mischievously at the them as she said this*

[Midnight]

[ModNote: Continued from A quick stop, here.]

*For Midnight she had slowly been working her way through the city, watching out for signs of trouble and the three what she had been muttering under her breath.*

Over grown kittens.

*Her search had gone without luck until she saw something definatly at least black and white go up up and then down though she had not seen where it landed.*

*She gave a silent shake of her head and another cool sounding mutter her voice getting a icy tone.*

If them three have been playing around and drawing attention to themselves I am going to turn the three of them into rugs!

*Her movements increase in the general direction of where the black and white flying object was heading.*

[Vyrrian Wren]

'Certainly a nice flight you did there, Master Coriolis' said Wren, rounding the corner. 'A 7.1 from the French judge at the very least.'

'I don't suppose you'll satisfy my innate curiosity and tell me how you came to leave the Heifer the way you did?'

[Coriolis]

*... He doesn't break his stride...*

Doesn't matter, I'm still alive...

*The stone around his neck seems to react to something and it brings the Watcher to a halt with the impatience of someone having a bad day.*

Oh great. Time for the lecture...

*He turns around and eyeballs Wren.*

Ok, the gangs all here, I see ol' Fishface has found himself a plaything, you've obviously managed to regain whatever kit you've lost and there's an annoyingly moody Panther heading this way...

Given the fact that we've now managed to wake up most of Wolfenden with our presence, Is it OK with you if everyone can get their collective arses OUT of Wolfenden before some dumb sod of a villager puts 2 and 2 together?

*Not waiting for an answer, Coriolis spins on a heel and continues the unhurried but nonetheless long strides towards a path out of the settlement...*

[Leytan]

I see ol' Fishface has found himself a plaything

*Leytan breifly looked at Cor with a quizical look as if saying "Did he just say what i think he did."*

*Then he winced slightly tunred his head ever so slightly and looked out the corner of his eye at Lady Mercury.*

"oh boy"

*he said under his breath, he took to small steps to his right away from Lady M's line of fire.*

"Coriolis you brought this one on yourself."

[Lady Mercury]

*Lady Mercury glared icily at Coriolis' departing back, not registering Leytan's comment*

How dare you address me as such! My business with Leytan is my own, and not the concern of someone like you! As to leaving Wolfenden quickly due to unwanted attention, the only person who has drawn attention to us is you, with your half baked attempt at flying and then appearing incongruous!"

*Lady Mercury then turned to Leytan next to her, and says contemptuously, "I don;t think much of this new friend of yours my love..."

[Midnight]

*Midnight in the mean time had been slowly catching up with the group and as luck would have it was only a few feet away as she watched the conversation go back and forth. Her eyes narrowed slightly as she heard the dark haired womans voice , she watched the four silently a moment unsure whether at first she was friend or foe until her senses showed her the truth. Her scents and Leytan's mingled with each other's clinging to their skins and cloths. She held back a laugh though a faint smile turned her lips up wards until she heard the womans comment to wards her brother.*

*With a faint smirk crossing her lips she began to approach the group at a more brisk pace, her cool blue eyes brightening a moment with mischievous warmth to them. She walked slowly up to wards Leytan and the stranger.*

And what would people like US be dear stranger?

*She continues to walk passed not exactly waiting for a answer though she turns her head slightly looking back to the pair.*

And if you wish for yours and Leytans business to remain your own. I would highly suggest you at least take a bath or at least a wash before leaving your room...or should I say his room.

*She turns her head back to looking forward quickly following her brother.*

Perhaps then dear stranger you will be able to find that such titles as plaything will not be said.

*She smiles again playfully*

But then again I would say your both each other's play things and if that fact offends you then perhaps you should think about the fact that the truth upsets you and wonder why.

Oh and with that bit of unwanted advice given I am sure I have some news. It seems news of us has traveled fast though so far to my knowledge in gossip form only , the stories are wide and varied and very few actually true but it would be enough to draw attention and caution and quickly leave without drawing any more attention.

[Leytan]

*Leytan is about to retort to Cor's and Midnight's jibes when what Midnight said last registers.*

"What??......"

*The colour drains from his face which, while plaer then Wren's or Midnight's, now looks deathly pale.*

"Already.......they've got word here already??"

*Both Mindight and Lady Mercury who is standing closest to Leytan can seesparks of panic in Leytan's eyes and here his voice becomeing more unsteady.*

"Gods and there's a wanted poster being deliverd to the Wolfs Howl with our discriptions on it."


*Leytan is starting to have a panic attack. The stress of his neer hanging, the uneasyness caused by Addis magic and the sight of the maid, the need to escape, his fight with Midnight and the incident in the cart. They have all caught up to him at once and have craked his normaly cool, calm and emotionless stance.*

[Coriolis]

*Just like his Step-Sister. Coriolis retains a small amount of his feline senses even when Human. In a nutshell, He can 'smell' the rising fear in Leytan.*

And finally the penny drops! We kick up all the hells in somebody elses courtyard, you decide to become the Gods codpiece right in the middle of a bloody marketplace before finding yourself a pretty maid. My own 'fling' is simply the icing on the cake!

This was supposed to be a QUICK stop. We've now been here more than long enough to give away any advantage we had this morning.

*He turns to Wren, a small amount of trust forming that THIS wanderer actually knows a little of how to conduct business.*

I see my lack of timewasting and pleasantries is turning the lassie a little icy. If that's the case, it would be impolite if I didn't give Her all the ice She'll ever need.

*The stone around his neck glows a faint Green as the White Tiger drags itself up to the rooftops before looking back down at them with a front paw in an 'after you' gesture.*

If I remember correctly, Winteria is that way. Shall we?

... or shall we stay here a little longer discussing each others latent character flaws while the self-elected powers that be make their way here?

[Lady Mercury]

*Lady Mercury glanced unconcernedly as Midnight headed towards and then passed them and looked appraisingly at her. She smiled slightly, and then gave a slight bow and a low mocking laugh*

"As for washing off scents, it's rather hard to do when your main priority is making sure that the Reaper doesn't keep his date with Leytan...

As to my comment to your charming relation here, and about my business with Leytan, i was merely saying that it was no concern of his, or anyone else's for that matter what I am to Leytan, not that I had a problem with what was said, and you can read into that what you like..."

*Lady Mercury finishes with a slightly coquettish smile at Midnight, then turns quickly to Leytan, and lays her hand on his cheek*

"It's alright love, trust me, the Reaper will have to wait awhile before he claims you, Leytan..." she gives him a quick kiss on the cheek, then turns to the group

"If a speedy exit is required, may I offer my services with a teleport spell or an invisibity spell to allow us to leave unnoticed, I've no wish to spill blood unless we have to, I've seen enough bloodshed to last me a lifetime" she finished grimly

[Vyrrian Wren]

'Finally, words our coming out of our mouths that are making SENSE! There may be hope for us yet!' said Wren with mock surprise, unable to hide the huge grin of relief on his face. 'Yes, I like the idea of that teleport spell. This wretched hive has just about lost its novelty for me.'

'Has everyone got everything they need?'

[Coriolis]

*The Knightmare realms closest equivalent to a "headdesk" is happening above them.*

Can we just MOVE... please?

[Midnight]

*Midnight watches the stranger as she bows slightly and a look of neutrality crosses over her face, closing her face into a unreadable mask that she always took around those unknown and untrusted. She turns her gaze to Wren a moment nodding her head slightly.*

I have everything I require.

*She casts a glance to Leytan.*

Leave now panic afterwards or you may end up drawing more attention to us.

*Despite her words being almost cold her voice softens slightly aware of how the fear of a panic attack can cause everything to lose focus and become overwhelming.*

[Lady Mercury]

*Lady Mercury nods in Wren's direction, then glanced slightly at Midnight and mentally shrugged at her change in attitude, and made a mental note to herself, then glanced at LEytan*

"I agree, we should be gone from here, however I'm loathe to teleport with Leytan like this.."

*LAdy MErcury stood next to Leytan, then took her hands in his, and murmured something under her breath, there was a faint violet glow on their conjoined hands, and Leytan felt a warmth enter him, one designed to calm him and his soul*

"This should help..." She said gently

[Leytan]

*Lady Mercury's spell worked Leytan's panic attack did recced some what just enough for him to get a clearer view of things again.*

"Yes, yes your right Midnight. Lets go before the net realy dose close in on us."


*Turns to Lady Mercury and gently kisses her forehead.*

"Thank you Isabel, You can teleport away now. Just get us to the Outskirts of town the Forests will hide our escape from that point on."
