The smile that Jaeden was already wearing grew much wider,"Bregan D'aerthe huh? Of course I've heard of them! Hell, I've been commissioned by them several times believe it or not." Jeaden snorted arrogantly," Just what business do you have with them?" Jeaden shot as her eyes narrowed dangerously at the hooded male. The dagger in her hand twitched slighlty at the end of her last remark, she was now curious to know who this person was and why they wanted to know the whereabouts' of the Bregan D'aerthe.
(( Yeah xD I hate it when my post's are short! But sometimes it can't be helped ))

((Hey, I understand. I'm not gonna bite your head off if you post the occasional short post. XD))
Mikaril's eyebrows disappeared into his hood. "Oh really? I wasn't aware that their arm reached quite that far." He looked a little sheepish then, hoping that the female wouldn't notice the hint of offense in that statement. He noticed the twitch of the dagger and promptly drew his own, though keeping it in a nonagressive position. "My business with them does not concern you, as I have no need for their services. I only seek to find someone whom I believe is among their ranks."
He normally wouldn't be so revealing, but he had learned at an early age about lie detection spells, and he still had the scars to prove his graduation on that particular subject.

"Well, you won't find them with an attitude like that." Jeaden snorted as she placed her hands on her hips in an impish manner,"And as a matter of fact..." A furtive smirk curled upon Jeaden's lips as an idea of sheer astuteness popped into her mind,"...It would be rather hard for an outsider to find the Bregan D'aerthe without any help," She began. " But for a small price I could lead you to them. I, after all, know their exact whereabouts" Still smiling, Jeaden strolled across the room towards the hooded man," So how about it? I promise not to get in your way or bother you, I'll just take you straight to them!" She said with an affirmative nod,"Think about it! You won't have the trouble of trying to follow them around without any clues of where they could be!"
Still smiling Jaeden leaned against the wall just opposite of the male, she crossed her arms across her breast and hoped that her art of persuasion was enough to capture the man inorder to make a quick profit. She was running low on funds after all, and sleeping in dirty little run-down shacks every night was not so grand.
(( I'm not too sure how the group operates so i'm just winging it here xD ))

All Mikaril could do was blink, feeling rather dense since it seemed as though that was all he had done in this strange meeting. This female continued to openly defy his entire perspective of how females were, and it was boggling his mind, having seldom encountered any other than his mother and sister, and even then none of them had bothered to speak to him, let alone make deals with him and promise not to get in HIS way!
He pursed his lips as he contemplated the female's offer. On the one hand, she could be a great help, and she could shorten his time in this uncomfortable place by quite a lot, maybe even setting him up for a long overdue reunion. On the other hand, she could be just as easily setting him up for something else, and her easy and open manner might very well be just a facade to get him to drop his guard. He knew that females in general thought males in general were stupid, and he feared that such a situation was playing right in front of him.
Well then, he thought, what better way to make sure than to play along? At least with my guard up I'll be more careful and less likely to lose my head and fall into a hole too deep to climb out of. Outwardly, he fixed his gaze onto the girl. "I'm afraid I don't have a whole lot of money; I am not here on a leisure trip. But my profession often places valuable items within my reach, so if the price is too rich for my purse, I hope you will settle for material value instead of pure. If so, then I accept." He bowed to the girl, making sure to keep his hood in place. "I am Mikaril Torlyl, from the city of Undrek'Thoz." Even he knew better than to openly flaunt a house rank unless it was a high enough house to command respect. "And you are...?"

"I'm Jaeden Tinuveil, from the Westdark area." She said with a grin," It's a pleasure doing business with you Mikaril Torlyl." She added, still beaming brightly.
There was no malicious intent behind Jeaden's offer of help, she just wanted to make a quick profit and a travel companion along the way, the truth was that she hated to be alone all the time while traveling and alittle company was always great to have once in awhile. Also, she was not like a typical drow female. Instead of being tempestuous and cynical like most, she was placid and serene unless bothered. She could thank her mother, a wind demon, for her attitude and petite and curvaceous frame, and thank her father for her dominant drow traits.
"Well, let's go! I can't stand this place any longer!" She sighed as she crossed over to the small corner where she had planned to sleep and scooped up her blanket. "Don't hesistate to ask anything while we're on the trip, ok? Oh! I'll buy your food and stuff too but you'll have to cover lodging if you plan on staying at an inn. I don't have enough money for it right now." Jeaden sighed as she shoved the blanket back into the depths of the rucksack she slung over her back," On second thought, forget the inn we'll just sleep outside. Is that ok with you?" She smiled amiably at Mikaril as she began out the door of the shack.
(( She's half demon half drow :3 I'm not sure if that's allowed but, i've had that planned way before I even purchased her from here. I hope thats ok with you? xD ))

((No problems here. ^^ I don't think I have to worry about any "I am (half) demon; watch me kill everyone" sprees from you. XD))
Mikaril allowed himself an easy smile. "Just Mikaril is fine." He nodded agreeably. "Not a problem, and be sure to tell me also if there is anything you need also. And thank you for the offer; hopefully I will be able to earn some while we're here." He nodded as he took another look around the shed. "I don't mind at all. I do a fair bit of traveling, so I am used to the wide open....rock." He stepped out into the street and looked around before turning rather sheepishly to Jaeden. "Any idea where we should go? I have absolutely no familiarity with this place."
((Thank goodness; now I can stop calling her 'the girl'. XD))

(( Lol! And k, good ^ ^ 'Cause I wasn't sure if hakf breeds are allowed or not ))
Jeaden gave a firm nod,"Ok! Well, We should get out of this city! We'll need to head north." She said as she made her way to the dirt path that was just a few yards away from the shed,"Oh! And just call me Jade or Eden for short if you want." She added as the two began strolling along the path," So, who is that your looking for? You want to ask them if you can join or somethin' ?" She said as she stifled a yawn and tossed her mas of silver hair casually.

((Well, rule-wise I have no say in the matter, since I'm not staff or anything; I'd take it up with Bechard if you're really concerned about it. I was just saying that it was okay with me as a fellow RPer. ^^))
Mikaril gnawed his bottom lip and decided to go ahead and take the proverbial plunge. He smiled disarmingly and shrugged his shoulders, the picture of carefree innocence. "Alright, Jade it is. Well truth be told, I'm looking for my brother. He was cast out of the house several years ago, and I have reason to believe that he took up with Bregan D'aerthe. Call me sentimental, but I would very much like to kow what has become of him. Of my entire family, he was...is, the closest to me."

{{ We're never on at the same time D8 What state or country do you live in? If we can figure out each others time zone maybe we can schedule a time to RP together for a bit :3 }}
"I don't blame you. If I had someone I cared about I'd look for them too. But, my family is all dead so there's no need for me to care." She laughed nonchalantly, but behind that laugh Jaeden really felt lonely inside. She hated the feeling of hollow emptiness that filled her whenever she thought about how there was no one in this world that acknowledge or cared about her.
"Well, Mikaril I sure hope you find him." She said as they both paced along the dirt road,"Oh! And our trip won't be too long. A month at the most? Because we need to cross the Glimmersea to get to Northdark. It'll only take us a week, maybe two, to get to the shores of the Glimmersea. Our real journey begins after we've crossed it."

((That'd be fun. ^^ I'm in Missouri in the US of A. Though bear in mind that I'm currently on dial-up, so anything I post takes a while anyway. XP))
Though Mikaril still half-believed in Jaeden's sincerity, he couldn't supress a wince at the mention of her family being dead. Though he didn't really care for any others in his own family, his brother notwithstanding, he honestly wouldn't know what to do without them. Even though due to his profession he was treated like the proverbial 'red-headed stepchild', if they even noticed him at all, it was still a group to belong to.
"I hope so too. Though to be perfectly honest, I wasn't counting on finding him. If he really has joined up with the mercenary band, I would have better luck finding fuzz on a drider. I really never could fathom just how they could hide themselves so well when there are so many of them....." He paused and made a face. "And I didn't consider the fact that they might not even bother to meet with some nobody not intending to join. Secrecy and all of that....." His voice trailed off as he continued to ponder.
Mikaril turned to Jaeden with a look of surprise. "That long? Wow...." He flinched then, aware that he had just revealed his complete and total ignorance regarding places besides the Eastdark and the Glimmersea. "Well, I do tend to lose track of time when I'm running around. And I never keep track of time on the Glimmersea; I like it too much to put such a shackle on it. At any rate, my boat should hold both of us; so long as we don't take too much."
((I thought we already were in the Northdark.))

{{Omg, I'm retarded D8 I don't know why I thought we were in the Southdark...just pretend she said something else =_=; And i live in Ky so your like, an hour behind me? Maybe on the weekends we can RP some? Like around 5-6? (if we aren't busy, of course) }}
"It's alright, I understand how things can get with time. Sometimes It feels as if I stayed in a place for ages and really it's only been a few days. Some of the people i've met in the citites have been amazing! I suppose that's why I remember places so well, because I associate locations i've been to with the faces of the people there. Call me strange but it's how I remember things." She laughed soflty to herself as a gentle layer of silence embraced the two.
"Honestly, sometimes I just don't know why I keep living on. I mean, there is no one in this world that belongs to my family anymore besides me. It does get lonely but I do remind myself that I have purpose and that is why i'm still alive so, I must carry on." Jaeden sighed and chuckled as she shook her head," Listen to me! I swear, all I do is rant. Here I am pouring all of this emotional junk on you." But in all truth it wasn't really a rant to her, it felt nice to get some of her inner most thoughts off of her chest.

((That's okay; don't worry about it. XD Everybody makes oopsies once in a while; maybe we can say they're somewhere else in the Northdark? And weekend sounds okay; I'll have to check tomorrow because we intend to be out and about, but I'm not sure when.))
Mikaril smiled and nodded his agreement, letting a little of himself slip out in turn. "I lose track of all time and meaning when I'm on the Glimmersea. I love to row out until I can't see the docks and just look up at the veins of light.....you know I've heard from some of the surface raiders that the surface has something similar, like little points of light dotted all over the place. They even say they've seen them move and run across the sky...."
He breathed out, blowing his bangs off his forehead and grinned at Jaeden. "You must be contagious; here you are talking personal with me, and I go and do the same thing. It's worse than yawning." He chuckled, then sobered up.
"Well, as long as you know your purpose, it shouldn't be so bad. My purpose is causing chaos, and when you've done that in your own house, you know you're doing it well. Still, I might as well not have a house for all the welcome I receive there." Realizing that he had let loose something potentially harmful, he reached up and twirled one of his bangs around his slender finger to hide his embarassment. How did I even make it this far?
((Heehee emo drow. Rhymey. XD))

(( Ok, sounds good to me :3 And I might not be on here later because i'm suppose to go to the movies tonight with my boyfriend <33))
"Contagious huh? That's one i've never heard anyone say about me before!" She chuckled soflty as the two continued walking.
Jaeden's casual tone faded away at Mikaril's remark about chaos,"Chaos was what brung about my family's demise. So I've experienced more than a fair share of chaos in my lifetime." She stifled a sigh and re-adjusted the rucksack that was slung over her shoulder. Changing the topic Jaeden glared critically at Mikaril," How come you don't take off that hood? Aren't you hot under that thing?" She smirked slighlty,"I mean, I haven't really gotten a good look at you and I'm kinda' curious about what you look like without that ol' hood."
((Meh...another short post XP ))

Mikaril smiled, then his eyes showed a measure of caution as he heard Jaeden speak of chaos and how it ended up frowning upon them. He wondered for an instant if he ought to inquire about her religion, but he tossed the idea aside almost immediately. Not only was it a pretty personal question, but once he thought on it, it was irrelevant too. The most devoted of Lolth's followers were still not immune to chaos, and everybody had some in their lives no matter what deity they followed. Hell, the only reason he kept to Lolth was because like him, she enjoyed chaos. If she didn't, he honestly didn't know who he would follow; maybe nobody at all, like his brother. He had had a pretty low opinion on deities in general, and he hadn't been afraid to make it known. "All they're good for, little brother, is justifying our violence, feeding our egos, and luring us into a false sense of comfort that there MIGHT be somebody up there who likes us enough to keep us out of trouble. All that they amount to are invisible shackles." Mikaril couldn't help but smile; he and his brother had shared so much when he had still been in the house; they could have easily been drawn and quartered for any of the blasphemous conversations they had shared between themselves.
At the mention of his hood, his thoughts came crashing down to the present, and he reflexively brought up one of his hands and pulled the side of his hood further over his head. "Well no, I'm not really hot. It actually used to belong to a surface elf.....at least, that's what my brother said before he gave it to me." He took a deep breath to steady himself, and he stopped and looked Jaeden right in the eye. "If you want to see my face, I can pull the hood back some, but I'm afraid I cannot take it all of the way off. I'm sorry."
((I luff j00; I've been waiting for somebody to mention his hood. X3
Oooh movies, whatja see? ^^))

(( We ended up not seing a movie but instead stayed at his house and watched the Matrix TwT But I wanted to see The other Boleyn girl ))
Jaeden erupted into a hearty laugh when she had noticed Mikaril tugging the hood even further over his head," Not trying to sound rude but, do you have some sort of fetish about your hood? So you mean to tell me you never take that thing off? Not even to wash it or go to sleep or shower off?"
Jaeden's lips curled into a charming smile as she shook her head slowly," Your some character Mikaril....but I would like a good look at your face with the hood pulled down atleast 'cause, it is kinda strange talking to someone who I don't even know what their face really looks like." Silence loomed over the two for a brief minute," But, If you don't want to show me it's ok! I won't force you to." Though for a terse moment Jaeden had thought about removing the hood when Mikaril fell asleep later but just as quick as it had popped into her mind it became derelict, "It would be rude if I did that." She told herself mentally.
