@Greglotte:

Thusly the pair went upstairs. They heard a thud as the second door on the right closed.

@Christopher:

In the meanwhile, Christopher managed to get to the street at which the inn stood.

[Powder Miner]

:'Heh. I'm much used to waiting, myself."

[SeriousConcentrate]

Chris headed inside and, seeing Gregor and Charlotte heading upstairs, followed them up, staying out of sight.

[freeformschooler]

Charlotte put a finger to her mouth as if to "sshhhh" Gregor. She leaned in close to the seam between the door and the wall, trying to hear anything that might be going on in the room.

[Haspen]

@Charlotte:

"I've brought Lady Commander." Some chairs were moved around, and then it was silent for few seconds.

"Lady Commander, I really need your help in this matter. You're commanding largest city garrison on this side of Menelea. Could you spare soldiers, or supplies? We cannot let Prixima do what she wants..."

"Call me Syrea, really. As for the soldiers, no - we cannot give you any. We cannot deploy forces against anyone of Menelean nobility unless we get a permit from the King or the royal advisors..."

"What about supplies, then. Weapons? Spellbooks? Staves?"

"Dag is right - what's left of my family's riches was spent on this journey and our meager supplies, so if you cannot spare soldiers, then maybe some weapons."

"Hmm... Wait, you want to go to Kesselring castle only by yourselves?"

"Not really... Magister Tiron will provide us with his magical transportation, and I still have to pay him, but that won't leave me with lots of gold. I will have to hire mercenaries, and they would need supplies-" Someone scoffed.

"Hmph! Mercenaries. My Lord, don't you remember what happened last time? Not only they went on to join the grave robbers, but then they ran for the border. I won't be surprised if von Hexham and his friends turned sides and are servants at Prixima's castle already."

"That was uncalled for, Danya. Besides, we don't know what really happened - we can't assume they betrayed us simply because they crossed the border."

"You're forgetting their unwillingness to stop the grave robbers, not a word of explanation from them, and the recent assasination attempt on your life and Lady Theresa's. My Lord, as far as it goes, they might've been supplying information to that witch since we hired them!"

"You're overreacting. Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed today?" Charlotte could hear a chair falling down - someone must've stood up rather quickly.

"You two, stop it at once." There was some grumbling after this.

"Oh, I almost forgot. My cousin have shown up shortly after you left. Apparently she is traveling with a group of mercenaries that are involved with Prixima Kesselring in some way."

"Mercenaries? What sort of mercenaries, from where?"

"We didn't have much time to chat, really..."

[freeformschooler]

: "It's Danya! No way am I getting us branded traitors by Prixima AND Mannan!"

Charlotte slowly opened the door and put her hands in the air to signal her lack of hostility. She also nudged Gregor to do the same.

: "We come in peace!"

[Sirus]

Gregor stepped forward, hands in the air but ready to act if a certain Pegasus captain made a hostile move.

"Hello everyone. Good to see you again."

[SeriousConcentrate]

Chris immediately moved to the side of the door as soon as his friends were through it, crossbow in hand. If the people in there started attacking Gregor and Charlotte, he could at least give them a bit of covering fire.

[Haspen]

@People:

"Oh lord..."

"Hi guys."

"Gregor, Charlotte!" Manna stood up and moved closer, shaking the hands of the two.

"I was worried you might've been killed during the border hostilies! Please, come sit down, there's lot to talk about. You're truly a godsend. Are there any of your friends here as well?"

"And close the door, no need to make this conversation louder than necessary." The green-haired lady seated at the table smiled.

"Hey, I remember you. You and some others helped us during that siege back in the summer, didn't you?"

[SeriousConcentrate]

Chris put away the crossbow and came around the corner as well, closing the door behind him. It sounded like things weren't going to turn hostile, and he needed to get out of that paranoid 'always be ready to kill' mindset he had developed from working for Prixima for so long.

"I believe so, ma'am. Sorry for following you two unannounced; I wanted to make sure the pair of you would be all right."

He turned to Mannan.

"So... what's been going on with you since we parted ways?"

[Haspen]

@Greglottopher:

"Hey, and who are you?" Danya's hand reached to the blade at her belt, but Mannan stopped her with his hand.

"Danya, it's Tantallos Forsaken. He is Gregor's friend. Don't you recognize the robe?

"Uh... he was shorter last time... I think?"

@Plaza people:

Seyena suddenly felt someone pulling on her hand. It was a boy, no older than ten.

"Miss? Could you help me?" He asked with slightly teary eyes.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Chris pushed off his hood.

"I'm sure Tantallos would think that was funny! No, I'm Christopher Shields. I'm one of the Forsaken Clan, however."

"I'm not sure if we've actually met. A lot's happened, and I've been distracted by... personal matters. Regardless, now you know my name. Can you tell me what this meeting is about?"

As was his wont, Chris immediately leaned on the wall.

[Praefectus Screptum]

[Void for now.]

[Blade Master Model 42]

Valor looked at the kid. "what do you need, kid?"

[freeformschooler]

: "I would just like to say, before Danya kills us or has an aneurism: we had some very good reasons to disobey orders in the earlier mission. Two of our most competent fighters - which we would not be here without - were within enemy lines. From my eavesdropping, however, it seems we still share a common goal."
