Iradaries

“Yeah, I got it!” She said carefully pulling it out of the pouch which she closed with her free hand.  With a light grunt she pushed herself back into a sitting position resting the folded up cloak on her lap. “Well that went better than expected.” She muttered.
 
“Right.” Garail said, stepping off the wall slipping past her. “Let’s go tell the good lord.” He added as he pulled open the door and stepped into the hall.
 
“Excuse me?” Yil said through his teeth.

“Then I will say it differently, I am not, nor will I ever be, interested.” Ariana said slowly.

“Also milord I would like to add, what you are after is not a wife but a woman to wait on you hand and foot while half naked. To help you find what you desire milord I can give you the name of a brothel in Sothu.” She said coldly. The noble sputtered for a few moments before regaining his composure.

“How dare you. I could have this place torn apart!” he spat, bringing a hand down on the counter with a loud smacking sound.    

“Right.” Lina said, leaning back and carefully pulling the pouch open. She carefully sifted through the contents. “It’s the heavy brownish one, right?” She asked as she slowly attempted to extract the cloak.
 
Garail scratched his chin before nodding again. “It sounds good.” He said crossing his arms again. He looked into her eyes for several moments, showing no emotion or clues to what he was thinking. Finally he glanced to his right before looking back. “And you’d really be willing to toss your own blood?” he asked meeting her gaze again.
(It all works great)
 
“Ah yes, I was passing through on order of our emperor to help set up trade routes with some smaller kingdom. I thought it would be remiss of me if I didn’t drop by to see if you had considered my offer.” Yil said, a large smile plastered across his lips. Ariana kept up her thin smile.

“Why no, I can’t say that I have my lord.” Ariana replied. Yil’s smile faded.

“It is quite an attractive offer, many wouldn’t think twice to accept.” He hissed.

“Why don’t you offer it to one of them then, milord?” She asked.  

(I highly recommend Akade shows up during their next exchange <.< >.>)

(I try :D)

"Thanks." Lina twisted her torso around and looked down at the packs. She turned her head back to Kenu. "Do you remember which one or which side it was on?" She asked.

His gaze followed her as she paced back and forth. "Alright, tell me more," he said with a light nod.

The wood door swung open, hitting the wall with a wince inducing crack. Ariana's head snapped towards the front door as a three men walked through followed by a man in expensive cloths. A large grin crossed the lips of the fourth man as he looked at Ariana and walked over to the desk. "Ah, Ariana my dear, nice to see you are still doing well."
Looking at her door then back to the man she smiled thinly. 
"Lord Yil, I see you are passing through again." she said humorlessly. 

(Hmmm... Eh, screw it)(Hm, might do a little thingie with Ariana that we should be able use to tie her back into the main story)
(Eeeh? Speak up I don't hear so well!)

Lightening crackled between dark low-hanging clouds. Resting her hand on the back of the saddle to keep herself steady Lina looked up at the clouds. She let out a short high pitched whistle. "Hope we make it to the city before the rain starts." She leaning back forward again.

Garail leaned back against the wall, his arms crossed over his chest. He studied Kiara for half a minute before finally speaking. "Are you sure of this plan then?" He asked looking her straight in her eyes. 

=13px(That's good :D) (Want to do the opening for jump forward or me? Or split it again?)
=13px(Yes well, I just used it. What now?!)

"We can begin on your walk to the kitchen." Garail said, stepping forward. "If you would allow me to go Milord."
"You are free to go Garail."
"Thank you milord" Garail said walking to the doors and pulling them open.

(I'm doing pretty good, you?)
(Eating supper, see you in a bit)

"Good" He said placing his plate on the tray and downing the remainder of his wine. "Don't disappoint me." he placed the glass down with a light click. 

(Alright :D)

"Good, have you any other objections?" He asked. 

(I think I did too, need more?)

"You have your uses, even Garail can see something as simple as that, harming you serves us no greater purpose."

(Kenu as accesss to contacts outside the empire, and has had a poor life within the empire- his public image can be twisted into that of someone who blames the Royal family for his troubles and was talked into leading an overthrow by one of his contacts.)

"What, uncomfortable around Garail my dear? You have no reason to be." He chuckled.  

(Maybe with them skip forward and she comes forward with using Kenu as the scapegoat idea?)
