Eleana hissed and muttered something that sounded remotely like smartass under her breath. Then she sighed and turned to the girl. She bowed slightly and then wipped her cloak around as she turned back to the man. It wasn't as if she needed the money today, so she could let the girl go.
"What's your name anyways? A priest are you?"
Eleana's eyes burned into him, unforgiving for being so...she detested the sound of the word on her lips....holy.

Eleana nodded curtly, then spoke,
"Jax, eh? Well can you tell me why you had to butt into my affairs? Apparently you saw as I stole from the other people of the city, why did you not stop me then?"
She raised an eyebrow and grinned lopsidedly. Even though she wore phesant clothing and had dirt streaked down her pale face, she was still one of the loveliest creatures in the city. Being around for so long had taken away her need to be beautiful so she didn't polish herself as she had when she was younger, but Eleana shone just as bright without even trying. Her black hair fell in front of her face as a wind died down and she brushed it away with a porcelien hand.

Eleana narrowed her eyes, but kept her calm.
Damn. I need to keep my opinions to myself.
She sighed and let her form droop a bit, tired from the past few days. She had slept only 2 hrs. in the last 5 days, and it wasn't helping her on the job any.
"Do you happen to know a place I could stay tonight? I don't really have a home to go to at the moment...."
Eleana turned her head slightly, embarrassed at having to admit her homeless existence. OOC:: (why don't you write more?)

Jax nodded. "me old friend, Shorin, might put ya up fer a night." (he has a Irish accent) he rubbed his hammer. "if yeh promise not ter steal anytin from him, lassy, i will take yeh to im." his plate creaked as he stretched his muscles, looking over the girls shoulder.

As she sat at the table nibbling at the offered food she listened to the chatter going on between the few at the table.
Well, they could be talking to me, she reasoned. Maybe she would get away to the trees if Shorin would let her.
She ate her food as slowly as she could.maybe she would get a chance to talk to Shorin alone.
((I feel so od for not being able to post as often as I used to... sweatdrop ))

Alya had spaced off and had missed the other girl entering the kitchen. She nodded a hello and turned to Shorin, "One blank spell book. Any particular color or design?" After taking a drink she turned to the girl, "Do you need anything from the market?" She made near daily trips to the market to pick up items, to keep the mansion stocked.

(im sorry, i feel a bit rude for asking.... sweatdrop you aren't upset about it right?) Eleana thought for a moment, debating on whether she could help herself if there was something especially nice where they were going. She decided one night of stealing could be given up for a warm bed, so she nodded in consent.
"Where is this place? Far?"
She didn't want to leave before she could cash in some items from the day's work. The marketplace sounded good, and she needed some new clothes as well. A spell book might also be in order if she were going to protect herself from anyone else threatening her trade.
"I need to pick a few things up before the end of the day, so you could just give me directions if you don't feel like waiting around for me."
She cocked her head to the left slightly, waiting for an answer so she could be on her way.

Jax shook his head. "it's not far. tis the biggest home in the city. come. i'll show ya. he'll see to your getting things." he pointed towards the estate about a quarter mile off. he wasn't going to let this little thief out of his sight.
(no i'm not angry. it's a good question.)

Eleana moved her eyebrows upward and shook her head.
"I thank you for showing me the place where I can stay, but I'd really rather get these things on my own if you don't mind. I hope you know, I was going to use money to get my items."
She threw back her head and laughed heartily, her hands resting on her hips. She had experience with do-gooders who wanted to make sure she was law abiding at every instance. But she knew how things worked. She only stole from people who were unsuspecting. Everyone at the marketplace expected a thief to try and steal their goods, she wasn't going to be the stupid one who got caught.

Okay... If I'm not out of place...
She looked down at her plate.
Yes! Finished at last! I wonder if it would be rude to just leave right now...
She slowly started to get up and inch her way to the door.

Eleana sighed at the dwarf's spell, but she said nothing. If she had it would have only delayed her exit, so with a nod and a mumbled thanks, she started toward the marketplace. Her skirts swished around her feet and she walked barefoot in the dusty streets. Passerby stared at her presence since it wasn't often they saw a demon in their midst. Her eyes darted around the stalls and makeshift shops, scanning for something of interest. She came to a vendor selling simple spell books. It was a hunched over man, and he was obviously sightless with his clouded blue eyes. She walked to him and bent down, for her height was always a trouble.
"Sir? Would you happen to have a spell book that could help ward away prying eyes? I'd be glad to pay any price for one."
She would have smiled, but knowing he could not see it, she decided there would be no point in it.
"Hmm....yes...I think I have what your looking for right here."
The man dragged his body to a stack of books and felt his way down until he came to what he was searching for. He pulled out a dark purple book, that was worn and slightly torn around the edges.
"Might not look like much, but it's quite powerful. Use it well, Miss."
He handed Eleana the book and she nodded.
"What is your price?"
"No price. Just take it off my hands. I've had it for far too long."
Puzzled, but not one to dismiss a free trade, she clasped a cold hand over the man's shoulder.
"Thank you. You are quite kind."
With that she nodded to the man and walked off in search of a clothing vendor.
