Faye moves through the woods at a leisurely pace. She had stopped a ways back and spoken with another drifter who pointed her in the direction of a town not too far away. The timing was perfect for her seeing as how she was starting to run low on supplies and money. Hopefully she would be able to pick up a bit of work soon. Preferably not something requiring violence this time. Her last job had consisted of eliminating three men for a venomous politician. It hadn't been difficult for her to manage seducing the men into a private room where she was able to kill them swiftly. The pay had been good though and she's lived off of the money for nearly three months. The last of the money rested in a small velvet bag tied around her hips. It bumped against her leg with every step she took, reminding her that she can't get to the town soon enough.

It seems like it takes hours to finally reach the edge of the city. A soft sigh escapes her lips as she breaks through the last of the trees and out into the city. With a whisper of a smile, she makes her way deeper into the city, weaving through the streets to do a bit of exploring. Taverns are typically her best bet for finding work but sometimes if they have a square she can join in with other street performers and traders to pull in a little bit of money though its usually not much.

Well, Nemira's reaction was enough to cause Edan to laugh too. If she only knew how confused and troubled he was. Once the laughter had died down and she asked him to accompany him he hesitantly agrees, as he had just arrived in the city himself less then an hour ago. "I'll tag along, sure, but I'm new here too, so we're just as likely to get lost as- wait... enchanter's shop? Give me a second." He turns away from her and looks around, as if he was searching for something. After a moment he turns back to her and points towards the shop. "The shop is that-a-way. I think. I feel a collection of magical energy in that direction. If they don't have magic items littering the shop, then I might be pointing you in the wrong direction. I've no clue where it might be though, so we might as well go check out what I think is it."

She continued to wear her slight smile. As he turned around she sensed something, a glimmer of his aura and it caught her off guard. It was dark and haunted. Maybe he wasn't joking....
Her shock was there for only a moment as she regained her serene composure. "Well then, May I ask you to lead the way sir?"

When Vera scoffed, the brunette's eyes quickly moved to look at her. "I doubt she'll let you keep yours hands if you talk about her like that," he mentioned, after she called Vera a hound for the nth time. Lowering her head in humility toward the hellhound, the girl repented. "I am very sorry. I didn't mean any disrespect by it." Honestly, Sani didn't even know if that was entirely true. This whole time, she felt threatened by the fact that Esca knew both her first and last name. Nobody in the city knew both. Most didn't even associate the name 'Sani' with her. She just always did her best to make sure she wouldn't be caught for doing other's dirty work.

Esca continued explaining how his parents were gone, and he was very much so half elf, half human. Not that that was odd- she had seen plenty of half species run about the city- but this story seemed strange for some reason. A half elf, half human raised by some sort of hound. How did things like that happen?

Interrupting her thoughts, Sani noticed how Esca was looking at Vera. "What?" she asked right before the elf started talking again. He sounded very uncertain the entire time, but he said something along the lines of how Vera could talk to Sani if she went through some ritual. The archer's heart dropped. A ritual? That meant magic. She had encountered magic before on several occasions, and she never liked it. Of course, the only kind of magic she had witnessed was a dark type of magic. So the question was what type of magic was used for this ritual? Or was it even a magical ritual at all? "Ah- I, uh.. I don't.. I don't know," Sani said with wide eyes. She looked down at her feet and took a few steps back. Her heart raced at the thought of seeing magic again, and she started pacing back and forth. It freaked her out because it was stronger than her. She wasn't a magic user, by any means. The girl relied on her bow and small daggers. The longer Sani thought about it, though, the more she wanted to do the ritual. She hated being a coward- being afraid of something bigger than her. Suddenly Sani stopped pacing and quickly turned to Esca with a slight smirk. "Okay. I've decided. I'll do it," she said, standing as still as a statue.

Edan couldn't help but feel like he was being examined far more closely then he liked, but then again, he probably felt like that since he hadn't had much social interaction in some time. "Alrighty. I shall escort you oh maiden of the woods." There was a sing songy tone to his voice, and he seemed to be teasing her on her lineage, though in a friendly way. With Nemira following, he starts through the crowd to where he felt the source of magic, until they were outside the place. As he reaches for the door, something seems to nag at his mind, but exactly what was out of reach. Maybe it was one of the spirits trying to contact him, he couldn't be sure, so he shakes it off and enters the building. "Hello?"

((So, Edan MIGHT have lead them to the wrong place, but that's for you to decide.))

Nemira Lotieria Esvaguard

Nemira's eyes narrow slightly in a quizzical manner as he teases her about her heritage. To be so sensitive to the realm of magic and able to identify the forms of elf.... something isn't right. What sort of man or beast is this...? Her thoughts trailed off as they reached the door of the the shop. The radiant energy coming from inside was enough to make her head spin. She followed him inside trying to maintain her low profile. She swayed from the sheer force of the energy flowing but managed not to show much physical give. She hefted the bag on her shoulder, determined to get out of this place and walked up to the counter. She spotted a woman there and softly asked, "Hello is this, by chance the enchanters shop?" The lady simply laughed and explained it was the potions store. Nemira sighed and began discussing business as she pulled out from her sack a golden armlet. The lady waved her hand saying "Tis not my area of expertise ma'm." Nemira simply nodded. She turned back to Edan, "Looks like you managed to get us lost. However, I know where to go now."

Kori Lustifor

Kori quickly ran out the door, she was not going to sit there much longer besides she knew nothing about her sister, so it was best to run. Quickly. I think I'll try the market. The market sounded much nicer right about now. Much nicer, she debated just going home, maybe Kari was there and she could leave this who horrible journey behind. She sighed and knew it wasn't true, since the last information she had was that her sister came through here.

Kori was dashing through the crowd, she kept bumping into people. She had no clue where she was, nor where she was going. She just needed to somehow find the market, somehow to find the market.

[Stevenlx]

As soon as they had entered the building, Edan had realized he had made a mistake. "Damnit." Well, now he looked to be a fool. Once Nemira had finished chatting up the shop owner, he heads out with her. "Okay, so I guess now you lead the way. Sorry... my abilities are... kind of... uh... not working right right now." A thought strikes him, as the woman seemed to be the adventuring sort as well. "Hey... uh... have you ever met a woman about... this tall?" He raises his hand to about his height, then continues speaking. "She's beautiful, has fox ears and a tail. Both are white. She wears a black robe. Have you seen anyone like that before?" He knew it was stupid to ask about his ex-girlfriend, as she had gone into hiding years ago, and no one had seen her since. He still had to hold out hope however.

[TheHeartlessAngel]

Nemira Lotieria Esvaguard

Her brow furrowed and she thought about it deeply for a moment. "Hmmmm, not recently but about 2 years ago I did. She was rushing somewhere. Not that I know where but she seemed busy.I remember the direction she was heading and where I last saw her simply because she was rather different." She looked at him again her gaze seeming to study all of his emotions, "Why?"

[Stevenlx]

Two years prior? That didn't do him any good. He couldn't contain a sigh, but shakes off the feeling of loss he now felt. "Her name's Karina. She was a herbalist in a city much like this. She's important to me, but I couldn't protect her, so she was forced to flee and I haven't heard much of her since. But still... two years ago is still better then the prior three. Anyways, let's get back to it... and thanks." He starts off in a random direction, but then remembers she knew where to go, so he quickly returns to her with a smile. "Ehehehe. Yeah, mind showing me where we're going?"

((He's referencing the last RP like this with that story. It won't actually come into play in this one, but he's still got to ask questions and the like about it.))

[Darkened Elegance]

Faye did not hurry as she made her way down a fairly crowded street. There seemed to be a fairly decent amount of people moving in this direction so she assumed following them would be her best chance of finding the square or marketplace quickly.

As she moved gracefully through the rather predictable crowd Faye allowed for her thoughts to wander while her feet carried her forward. She was lost deep in thought at the time she stepped out in the path of a woman hurrying through the street. Faye stumbled a bit at the impact but managed to still keep her footing. Her dark eyes turned towards the woman who had run into her. "Are you alright dear?" She asked as she moved towards her to make sure there hadn't been any damage done.

[Queen Evil Fluffy]

Kori Lustifor

A woman Kori ran into had spoken to her. "Oh, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to run into you. I just." Should she really say that she was starting to get completely terrified of the people here because of one encounter. That would probably be foolish. She'd get laughed at and she couldn't handle that right now. "I'm sorry, I'm just really lost. I've never been here before." Well, she was already talking to this stranger. She might as well ask the questions on her mind. First, the most important question the one about her sister. "Um, since I'm already speaking to you, I want to ask, have you seen an elf that looks exactly like me, but with short hair?"

[thiswasdeletedyo]

Esca watched her pace back and forth, stepping away from him and trying to decide if she wanted to do the ritual or not. He didn't exactly get why she wanted to and he was too busy trying to think of a way around her while she was distracted--but she made her decision fast and wanted to undergo some strange ritual all to be able to talk to Vera...

He looked at her, then the Hound. "Well, alright, if you want to." Esca said slowly, giving a light shrug. Didn't matter much to him if Vera talked her ears off. "First thing we need for the ritual is someplace private, quiet, someplace we could sleep." He explained and thought it over, perhaps a room at an inn or Sani's home. He didn't have any coin with which to pay a keeper, so they would have to rely on her to acquire these things. "And a hot bath, and strong drink." He added. "She says we need it for the ritual."
