*Leytan was laying on the bed when Aaron came in. He turned over what Aaron had said in his mind and formulated a responce as best he could from what he knew of Wren.*
"He's unpridictable and I think he may have a few screws loose in the mental facalties department.....but one thing Wren dose have Aaron is a very pronunced self-presevation streak, and I think he's smart enough to realise that if he harms Deanery's he effectivly condeming himself to certain death if not by a human hand the by the elements. After all he's in a hostile enviroment with no way of knowing how to get to a safe haven."

"Your sister is growing up...."
*He spoke aloud after giving Leytan a curt nod at his words of Wren and indicated for him to follow by a wave of his hand and moving back through the door way.*
"She has not shared what she has planned for your friend and that is the first time I have known your sister to keep any detail no matter how small away from me. None the less I am to take you down to join your companions while they hunt each other. I think you should take the time to explain to them what is going on as I doubt any of them have had a good time since their arrival here."
*He made his way along the corridor fully expecting Leytan to fall in either beside him or behind him with out repeating his words or movement.*

*Leytan did indeed fall into step beside of Aaron*
"I don't know which is the more unerveing occurence. Deanery's growing up.....or coming face to face with an "young buck" equal after so long dealing with wanner be's. Either Wren's as good, if not better then me.....or I'm lossing a step or two."
*he mused as they walked along*
"With any luck, Midnight and Isabel should be at least open to hearing an explination......as for the four legged furball.....who knows"

*Aaron smiled briefly a moment.*
"Well I doubt you shall have to worry about that fur ball for long as you call him as for the women well the magic user may be open to your words but the other that has our magic in her I think is going to be a little unsure. You know how it is when such power shows itself....even the most patience and easy going of souls become wild and easily angered. "
*Aaron moved with sureness and confidence of walking through these halls seemingly every day if not many times a day. His concern relaxing for now over Daenary's. He had a feeling he would need his wits about him.*
"How did you come across the lucky to be alive mongrel any way?"

*Leytan sighed*
"Long story involving one of my less then finest horus or discisions. I took the coinage of a race of, well lets called them Conquistadors, who had an eye to building themselves a little empire. I worked as a sabatour for them, anyway one time they send me to this realm called Arios with some other hired help with orders to cause some chaos and to weaken moral."
"I'm thinking it will be noting more then just a few targeted attacks on miltery targets. Only one of the others got the idea to plunder the local shrine. Well me ad the others get there and he's hear making off with some what we later found out where pray wheels with a bunch od gaurds and shrine elders on his tail."
"More out of a need to keep myself safe then any real disre to help him I layed into the gaurds and elders with the flat of my blade. Well while I'm doing this one of the elders starts getting the better of me and I'm backing off, when some young buck tries to stop me, I sent him flying into this elder.......that young buck was the fur ball."
"Anyway we get away and I just about kill the theif with my bear hands and a little while after that tell my employers to stick their payment and leave their employment........"
*Leytan trailed off and thought about what he was to say next and if he really wanted to.*
"Only I took one of the pray wheels with me. Insurence, I'd heared I'd been indited by an Arios court for the attack and decided it would make a usefull bargaining chip in case I was ever caught by them. So I hid it.....Well now Arios is a dead realm and all thats left are the fur ball and his sister, the girl who has gained Winterian Powers, and the fur....Coriolis has never forgiven me over the incident or about the pray wheel"

*The halls began to look gloomier and feel colder as the two made their way along the passge ways and down the stair ways.*
"Is the sister aware of the theft....if she is made aware of that now that could be...quite....well is good that she is in the cold room until you have trained her. Have you trained any one before Leytan?"
*He turned the corner that lead to the passageway to the cold room and nodded his head to the three guards that still stood in place. Aarons foot falls and voice taking a unnoticeable upturn as they approached the heavy door and his hand fell on the handle ready to open it once he had turned the heavy key.*

*Coriolis hears the beautiful sound of a key rattling in the lock. Senses, instincts and muscles all tightening. Preparing for action.* So you were planning on ....which method of escape this time..? This... *With a hop, a skip and charge He flies at the opening door as fast as 2 legs could carry him. The in rush of magic returning his abilities. Clearing the fog that had clouded his head for what felt like an eternity.* *The door explodes outward with a "THUMP!". It was heavier than Coriolis had expected. Granted, that may have had something to do with the vaguely humanoid shapes now falling backwards with a clatter.* [Aimed at the Women] WELL?!?!? Let's GO! *The air shimmers for a split second as the Human Watcher is replaced with Feline "Furball". The corridor echoing and sparking as 4 sets of claws scrabble for grip on the stone floor. The chase, once again, was on. If he could clear a wide enough path for long enough, His step-sister and the good Lady should be able to escape right behind him.* *Now to clear that path. White and black stripes stark against Cold hard stone as the Tiger barrels up the staircase at speed...*

Lady Mercury grinned slightly as she watched Coriolis dart through the door, then turned to Midnight.
"I think we should follow your brother's lead" she said quietly, offering Midnight her hand, should she need it. "I'll be glad to be outside again, and able to use magic again, I felt like I'd lost an arm."
With the hand that was not offered to Midnight, she reached into a small pocket, and pulled out a scroll.

Midnight herself only just registered the creak of the door when she saw Coriolis fly out of the room and heard what she thought to be two human sized bodies hitting the ground. Seconds later a misfired arrow came sailing into the room and struck a light burning brightly causing the room to fall into half shadows as Midnight grasped Lady Mercury's hand to pull her free of the bed almost stumbling with a brief entanglement with the sheets.
Once both feet were on the ground she followed Lady Mercury rapidly trying to avoid the darker and larger shadows on the ground one appearing to be completely still.
She hoped her brother had not caused a death and as the magic began to fuel her once more the blue pendent beneath her clothes flared back to life. The denied energy surged into her causing her to come to life as if she had not breathed for about a week and her eager legs quickly made their way in her brothers wake while another arrow flew passed her ear and struck wood loudly.

*The door had struck Aaron faster than he expected and it caused him to fall backwards directly into Leytan and taking them both down though perhaps only Leytan and the guards saw the slightly over exaggerated way in which he tumbled back wards and some how had managed to grab onto Leytan at his half turn while a big white and black head emerged through the door.
Leytan may have felt hismelf fall harder than he should of done as if Aaron helped him fall against the cold floor. The arrow being released and the light dimming helped cover Aarons words perfectly as he whispered almost frustratedly to Leytan.*
"Let them flee...they won't get far..."
*The tiger he half noted was rapidly flying up the stairs while Aaron pretended to be seemingly unconscious as the womens quiet more hesitant steps began to pass them.*

*Leytan rolled his eyes, both out of frustration with Coriolis and at kind of being used as a pawn once again by Deanery's.*
"I take it my bloodkin had a feeling this might happan"
*he said quietly to Aaron*
"Just make sure they don't hurt the ladies"

*Lady Mercury followed behind Midnight, not even giving the door, or the people beneath it a second glance. She felt her magic return to her, and allowed herself a smile. As she walked by the door, both Aaron and Leytan heard her murmuring incantations.*

*As they had left the room, Lady Mercury cast several spells, one of which was a type of invisibility globe. Whilst it didn't render herself and Midnight completely invisible, it did make them harder to spot, almost like shadows one sees out of the corner of their eyes. If Leytan had heard some of the words she murmured, he might have felt a little sorry for the person on the receiving end of them, as these were some of her more unpleasant spells*

"Better tell your gurads not to try and take the lady who is my "companion". Thouse spells she was muttering as she passed....thye were some of her more.....shall we say colourfull? Deffencive spells."
