Sefeya laughed, a dark but soft chuckle that chilled most everyone that heard it.

"I don't want anyone dead, I'd like you to be a part of an escort tomorrow for a member of the royal family to Stathon."

The black clothed inn keeper turned to Wraith, golden eyes glinting, "Yes?"

"E.. escort?" murmured Serilliyus. "Royal family?"

Serilliyus, of course, had no idea what Sefaya was talking about. Having only recently arrived in this world, the politics of the place were beyond her...

But her mind began putting things together. A royal family. Royal families were targets for undesirable people. Unless they were tyrants..

An royal escort was, to the best of Seri's knowledge, merely a formality. There were very few assassins with the means to take on a standard royal guard.

So why did this particular group need a special escort? Subterfuge? Did they know they were going to be attacked, and preferred to use dispensable mercenaries instead of highly trained and expensive soldiers?

"...why do you need protection?"

Wraith returned the Barman's gaze calmly. "I'm looking for some...'hard to find' items." He said, stressing the partial truth.  "Is there somplace I could ask about them...or where to locate them?"

Sefeya's lips twitched, a genuine smile pulling at them, at least she was intelligent.

"Because we don't want anyone knowing this member of the royal family is being moved, and so she won't be able to use her full abilities to defend herself nor can we send her bodyguards with her. So we need an independent group to defend her."

Sefeya seemed to shrug under her cloak, "And I'd hopefully finish up the group with you."

The barman snickered, grinning slightly, "Depends on what kind of 'hard to find items' you're looking for..."

"I see..."

Well, the one thing Serilliyus needed was a means of survival. If she was escorting a royal guard, she should make a comfortable profit..

And the people she had seen so far seemed relatively content, so the ruling class couldn't have done too bad a job...

...and she was drunk, which was an ever present reminder of how fit she was to make decisions.

Still, her tattered state demanded that she needed money. Now. And this could be the only chance for a while...

"I'll take it... how much are you paying me?"

Sefeya grinned, removing a fist sized cloth bundle, identical to the one she had provided Wraith.

"This is the preliminary payment. The full payment is recieved in Stathon and is either a set amount of gold or a specific equipment request. Requests will be handled by the royal you are guarding."

Sefeya internally sighed in relief, her princess would be safer now.

"Tomorrow morning, the guards at the palace willl let you through the gates. You'll meet your charge and the other bodyguards there. After that you all have one week to train, get to know each other, and enjoy yourselves before setting out. Quarters in the palace will be provided."

Wraith relaxed slightly. At least the man wasn't paranoid...maybe he wouldn't have to be ridiculously circumspect in his questions.

"Narcotics." he said simply. "Preferably hallucinogenics."

"I see..." replied Serilliyus. "One thing I must make absoulutely clear.

If, for whatever reason, I choose not to continue with this job after meeting my... associates, I will repay you as best I can, but I will refuse to continue. I cannot abide working with fools in any operation."

She drummed her fingers on the tabletop, thinking for a moment.

"And... where can I find the equipment I need? An apothecry or chemist, an equipment shop, a magic shop, and.."

A slightly embarrased look came to her face.

"A tailor."

OOC: May, Serilliyus wants to sleep of her alchohol (go the 4 hour Elven trance!) and go on a shopping spree. I *need* to talk to you, so can you make sure you're around when I am when next you wake? Thanks.

Chuckling he barman held out his hand to Wraith, "Ten golds, and I'll tell you where. But the Jade Dragons will know about it."

Wraith pondered. After a long moment, he withdrew the requested amount, and dropped it in the barman's hand.

"Possibly." He agreed. "I don't mind."

Smirking, he pocketed the gold, the grim expression returning. "Well...since I'm gonna assume you're working for or have worked for the Jade Dragons, I'd say Jaleen's place. It's over on the north avenue off the market square. Just say who you're working for or tell her Danel sent ya and she'll open the back."

Shaking his head, the barkeep began polishing a mug, keeping his eyes on his work.

Wraith nodded, and decided he wasn't really hungry.

Best to get started right away, anyway. He walked to the door and opened it, stepping out into the morning...

The side street on which the inn sat was nearly as quiet as it had been the night before. Only the distant hum of the market disturbed the silence of the street.

Sunlight flickered over Wraith's face, shining through brief openings in the clouds as the autumn winds rustled leaves in nearby yards.
