Welcome to Gaia! ::

"They're getting Aidan back? They know where he is? Please, take me with you. I can heal him if he's injured."
Rhys hadn't exactly met with Aidan, but that didn't matter. Someone was in danger; THAT was what mattered.

"What?"
Rhys turned around, looking in the direction Alihi and Abel went off in.
Then he ran off into the sea of trees.

[...we pretty much were... we just didn't know that there was a fight.]

Heh heh heh... This was perfect. Matthew was starting to feel very satisfied with himself for deciding to rest nearby the house instead of in the woods near the castle this time. Most of them just left to search for their friend. or something close to that... He really didn't care about the details. Which means that they've left the place mostly deserted. This time I might have a better chance.
By his calculations, the only residents left were a bird girl he had noticed through a window, a small boy with familiar blue hair, the mage from yesterday and maybe one other person. The way he saw this, he could very easily sneak in through a window on the second floor, check quietly through a few rooms and be out well before anyone returned; but more importantly, he could do so with a good chance of not even being noticed.

As a precaution, he decided that it might be best if he donned a hooded brown cloak, instead of his usual bright, recognizable red one, in the event that he was spotted. After all, he had definitely left a lasting impression of what he looked like the day before.
Cloak in place, he began his infiltration immediately by scaling a remote side of the house and silently entering through a window after checking checking to be sure that it was empty. Just as planned.

Escape routes: Entry window and other windows to the rear, facing the woods, back door, or, if it came to it, the front door. He also had with him three smoke balls to assist his escape should he be spotted.

((Ohhh! The rescue was taking place at night as well? Even better!!!))

(Yes, yes you do!) Aran watched as the others ran off to find Aidan. Apparently a fight was in order, he would've gone with them but he felt it better to stay back in case the Morphs got here. He went upstairs to go fetch his helmet and maybe a few extra javelins.

Even if he did think that this job would be an easy one, he was, by far, not a novice and knew better than to make a noise or ignore those that were made by others. So upon hearing footfall coming his direction, the thief quickly concealed himself in a dark corner of the room he had snuck himself into.

((Melethia, I really hope you aren't going to do what I think you are... Although if you do, then I owe myself $20))

Perhaps what Melethia had heard was the creeking and rocking of a wagon pulling up along the side of the FEFGA house?

(Or maybe not.)

It had taken the vendor woman a little longer than she had expected when it had come to packing up shop and shipping out, but none the less, she was here with her storage-on-wheels, just as she said she would be. Once the mobile shop settled to a complete halt, the woman climbed down off the driver's seat, humming her usual tune to herself as she did so.

"Heisuke~ You're such a good boy." She cooed to her drawl horse, giving the animal plenty of nose-rubs and neck pats before unhitching him from the cart.

The resistance officially had their new merchant unit on standby!
