A deep breath, and a sigh as Quill kicked back his legs contentedly. A couple of hours, pretty much nonstop entertainment. Tick tock tick tock...he yawned. He was one of the few sober ones left, and it was rather fun to watch those who had intoxicated themselves. Perhaps it was time to retire, maybe...maybe not. Ten more minutes. Just ten more minutes, then sleep. He smiles, nodding to himself as the crimson-hooded figure enters the tavern.

((I do assume it's the same tavern, and that it's the same night.))

((you assume correctly ^^.))

Judith entered the tavern. She wasn't used to the sights and sounds, and they made her extremely tense. She pulled her hood a little, not to let it her expression show. She looked around the tavern. One of her servants sat alone at a table near the back. She wasn't sure whether it was wise to go sit near him, especially since he must have been the one to make contact with the assassin. Even if it wasn't him, and he was just enjoying his time off, it might not be wise to sit with him anyway- if he wasn't involved and saw her out of the house, who knows what he would say? He might inform the city guard for all she knew. It was best not to risk it.

So, not knowing what else to do, she sat at the bar.

The barkeep approached her, and eyed her suspiciously. "How old are you, lass?"

She kept her cool. "Old enough, sir." She fumbled in her cloak sleeve for a coin. She had to make sure it was a single small coin. It wouldn't do any good to draw too much attention to her wealth. She slid the coin across the table. The bartender seemed satisfied. He got her a drink, but when she sipped it, she knew he kept it light for her. She'd had wine before. She knew what alcohol tasted like, and this drink didn't have much.

It was then that she chanced another glance around. Most of the people there were clearly common- dressed in worn clothing, with unkempt facial hair, most red-faced and yelling obscenities. But there was one man, dressed in a fetching purple, who was very different. And he was looking at her.

She turned away, heat rushing to her face. Was he from a wealthy family? Did he recognize her? Should she leave the tavern now, lest he does and inform the authorities of her whereabouts? As her mind raced, she took another few sips of her drink.

((I like it. ^^))

"Thank ya!" Luke grinned at this Raios person, liking him and his smiling already. "Yer nice too."

OK, so one was asleep, the other was awake. That could be difficult, but it wasn't the worst she could ask for. After making sure the door wouldn't creak as she opened it, the assassin carefuly opened the door just wide enough to peek in and looked inside. As soon as she saw what she needed to see, she slipped inside and hid in the first shadow she could.

She stayed still long enough to make sure she wasn't noticed, and then an extra minute or two because she was not an impatient person when it came to her job, then carefully stepped back out and brought out two pins, like one would find in a sewing kit. They looked normal, but in fact were soaked with a powerful poison. One prick, and they'd be dead in minutes. She threw the first one at the lord, and the second at the lady, both needles hitting their mark. She sunk back into the shadows before they could see her, and waited for the result.

The lady tossed in her sleep. Her dreams were swirling images. She saw her own death. "No..." she muttered in her sleep. When the pin hit her, her dreams swam and faded... blackness. There was no longer a lady to dream.

-----------------

A prick hit the lord on the throat. Instinctively, he smacked it, like he did for a thousand tiny insects before it. But this wasn't an insect. Instead the force sent the pin further into his jugular, piercing his windpipe. The poison took hold almost instantly. His head landed on his desk, jostling the coins. A few tumbled to the floor where they did a a few spins and finally clinked to the side.

The assassin cruelly smirked at the sight of two more victims joining the land of the dead, and stepped back out of the shadows. She walked slowly up to her victims, and took her pins back from them. Couldn't have any evidence around, now could she? After she had stored them safely away, she picked up a few of the coins that had fallen to the ground and pocketed them as well. Just in case her client decided not to pay her well. Without another word, she climbed out the nearest window and nimbly worked her way to the ground, where she snuck away from the property of the late Lord and Lady Zacharais and headed back to town.

She reached the bar in a matter of minutes, and found the auburn-haired girl who was her rich-kid client in a matter of seconds. She didn't waste another moment before walking up to her and sitting next to her at the bar.

"Heh, well, a skinned arm isn't fun either... But no, I don't think the goddesses are dead. I grew up in a time where the goddesses were gone for years, because they had been sealed away. You did too. Remember the Dark Dragon? The king that ruled for fifty years, the tyrant..." He shakes his head. "That's probably why your town doesn't believe in the goddesses, because the goddesses have been sealed for a long time. It's strange how just seven years after freedom they've vanished again..." He frowns, then stands and goes to the manticore hide, inspecting it.

"So. Luke. Where is it you are heading to?" Raios asked, wondering why a dude would be in the woods.

"Evening to you, Madam."

Quill moves to the seat next to her, slouching significantly. He wiped off the sleeves of his green shirt from some invisible dust, and smiled. "Name's Quill. How are you this fine evening?"

"Go away." The woman replied, making it exceedingly clear that she wasn't interested.

"Uhm..." Luke hung his head to think, looking back to the sky once more. He zoned out for a few seconds, than remembered someone was here and looked back at them with a shrug. He didn't know where he was going, he just... was.

Judith was caught by surprise as a hooded figure suddenly sat next to her. The figure had approached so silently, that she hadn't even noticed until the person was already there. And then the man in purple approached them as well.

The situation was making Judith rather nervous, but she took a breath, as quiet as she could.

"Evening to you, ma'am. Name's Quill. How are you this fine evening?" The man said to them with a charming smile. It was a smile Judith was familiar with. This man knew something, or acted like he did. It was a face worn by many men she had encountered.

Before Judith could answer, the hooded figure spoke. "Go away." There was no small malice in her voice. It made Judith flinch slightly hearing it. Judith looked at the man. Whether they had met before, this man didn't recognize her for who she was.

She wasn't sure who the man was addressing, so she just sipped her drink, keeping her eyes forward.

------------------

The servant at the table had seen Judith come in. She was smart to keep her hood up, but her demeanor was definitely tense and noticeable. He saw her scan the room and see him. It was a good choice for her to take a seat at the bar rather than with him.

Not too long after Judith entered, did the assassin make her return. She sat right next to Judith.

The servant stood up. It wouldn't do for Judith to botch this now- not after everyone in the bar had seen the servant with the assassin. He walked over to them, feigning drunkenness. The man that had sat at his table before also walked up to the pair of girls, but the servant acted like he was too drunk to notice the competition.

"Hey, what're a coupla fine ladies like you doin' alone tonight? Come share a drink with me. I already got us a table."

The assassin gave this fake-drunk man a hard glance for interrupting her, then realized what he was trying to do and smirked. "We'd love to." She replied, in a tone that made it seem like she was only saying yes to get away from the creep-o scumbag next to her. Which was only strengthened when she purposefully added "It's getting rather crowded here. Come on, Susan." And with that, she stood up and pulled her client up by the arm, pretty sure her name wasn't Susan and not really caring either way. Her grip told Judith play along or you will get hurt.

Quill narrowed his eyes, drumming his fingers against the table as the enigmatic black-cloaked woman from before pulled the crimson-cloaked one away from the table. Something was up here. Mentally he made a note to possibly wear more inconspicuous clothes the next time around, but what could he say? He liked a flair for the dramatic. And something very melodramatic was unfolding before him...he'd heard something about a contract thanks to ears honed from years of practice.

The earlier caution Quill had exhibited towards the assailant still remained, and he was well aware that if he had stumbled upon something extremely important, his throat would probably be slit and that would be the end of it. Yet curiosity compelled him, and he [edited] continued to observe them, not even bothering to hide it, still smiling.

"Careful," Val cautioned. "It still has fresh blood on it. It won't detoxify until it's dried out. It's also a proper dinner, new boots, new clothes, new equipment and the paying of debts for me if I can get it to town undamaged."

She mused over the thought of the land's goddesses being sealed away. Val hadn't lost all of her faith, she was just pragmatic and had figured that "The gods help those who help themselves." What powers she had were attributed to kinds of witchcraft she did not engage in... back home... which was one of the reasons why she'd left. She figured her parents were better off not having a "witch daughter" to decrease their status. She smiled to herself, trying not to let Felix see... She was glad to find someone else like herself in the world, someone with mysterious powers that did not seem to be the result of anything evil or demonic - but just born of nature, itself...

"If they're sealed, I wonder if there's a way mortals can un-seal them?" she asked.
