((HA, Pix, you're right, I keep seeing my pic in your sig. xD ))
Catriona had spent some time with Andrea, but wasn't feeling completely herself. Helping in the kitchens always seemed to lighten her mood and the other maids were generally very nice to her, though her shy and quiet nature always prevented her from forming close relationships with them.
She was by herself, whiping down some dishes and cookware when she heard her name very close behind her. She almost dropped the goblet she was holding and turned to see Pix standing there. She said nothing and held the goblet and towel at her sides, staring into his eyes and feeling the warmth of his body from his closeness.

"I... I'm here to apologize. In earnest, I'm sorry for what I did to you, I'm a different person when I'm like that.. You know I'm a good person, I saved you, didn't I? All those years ago? I'm here to ask you something.. Will you come with us? To do whatever Tanner is paying me to do?" He asked, for all extents
and purposes he seemed sincere. Of course all he really wanted was some nice female company since Evacy and Andrea weren't giving anything up.
He needed someone to take his stress out on.

Agologize?
Catriona bit her lip and looked at the floor, considering his words. He seemed incredibly sincere. Maybe she could trust him after all...
She looked up into his face with her innocent grey eyes, searching his cold blue ones. After a moment of contemplation she nodded. What she was getting herself into, she knew not, but hopefully she would at least have companions.
"I'll come with you."

He smiled at her sweetly, then put his hand on her shoulder, "Now, come along to my room, someone as pretty as you shouldn't be with the servants, you can have the bed, I'll sleep on the floor." He needed her to trust him completely.

Catriona blushed but agreed and when they got to Pix's room she found herself feeling rather uncomfortable.
She slept lightly on and off that night, unable to take her mind off of Pix sleeping on the floor next to her.
((Pix says that now we're back to normal time surprised ))

Leon although regretting what he was about to do knew it must be done. There were too many questions that needed to be answered even if it cost him his position as a castle guard. He threw open the dinning room doors. “My liege I must apologize, I was keeping an eye on the guests and eavesdropped on your conversation,” said Leon as he slowly moved towards Tanner. Leon knelt down on one knee in front of him. “I must know, is it true what you said about the mutants?” asked Leon.

He nearly fell out of his chair with laughter at this last comment. "T… ta….to a quiet, bu…but shex…sexy death." He raised his drink not really knowing what he had just said. He went to take a finish off his glass and missed his mouth by a few inches. His drink poured out over his head which he had tilted back. He shook his head, sobered up a little from this. He thought back to the conversation they had, had when they first started talking. “You shaid you had a j…job right now?” He said thinking he wasn’t as sobered up as he believed. “So w…whot isit?” He tried to sit up, but after nearly falling out of his chair at each attempt he slumped back down staring across the table at Pix.

((My posts have been sucky recenty... D: ))
She'd been awake for well over an hour now. Why couldn't she get up? As a serving maid she was used to being up every day at the crack of dawn. However, the light illuminating the room in a warm glow told her it was fast approaching noon. So why was she still so tired?
Catriona sat up in the luxurious bed but grimaced as her head gave an angry throb.
'What a headache...' she thought, sitting still for a moment before attempting to raise herself from the covers. When she got her feet on the ground she had to grab the bed frame for support as she was overcome by dizziness. She did not drink. She had not drunk the night before. She had never, in her life, been drunk; only witnessed it's unpleasant after-effects. Now she felt she might be able to empathize with drunks a bit.
But she was not a drunk and she was not hungover. So why did she feel so ill?
She was probably just coming down with something. She would go down to the kitchens tell them of her illness...again...and take another day from her duties. This time, however, she would rest and hope to high Heaven that this headache would go away.

Tanner turned away from his conversation with Kai to speak to Leon.
He was never one to treat a guard or servant of the castle badly, but how this guard overheard their meeting he was not sure. This frustrated him, the guard must have been extremely nosy to have heard that meeting.
Tanner thought for a moment before he spoke in a whisper. "Yes, it's true. Have you told any of the other guards?"
Kai sat not far from Tanner and heard what he was saying. This could end up bad. If this guard had told many other people it could scare everyone in Illys, and also open the castle to attack since Tanner would be gone.

((Yeah know it sucks but los woke me up just for this, goodnight... evening what ever I'm going back to sleep mode.))
Leon saw Tanner’s frustrated and stressed look even though you couldn’t tell from his voice he was worried. “No I thought it would be best to keep it from the other guards seeing as you went out off your way to hire mercenaries in secret,” said Leon quickly hoping to end the Lord General’s worries.

He blanked for minute the countless drinks of the evening getting to him, when the question finally got to him, he hardly knew the answer, "Is one 'o 'em looky findy...Looky findy type dealies where we.. You know, look for.. Things?" Some how, some where along the line, he had forgotten what he was talking about, but it did trigger a bit of a memory," Oi! i-I should get me self and you self over to the castle-ular regioooonnnn.. Now if I could just figure out how to walk...." He said drunkingly as he stood up tripping over almost immediately.

He watched as Pix tried to stand up and started cracking up as he fell. He shakily stood up himself glad that he didn't fall too. He figured he'd wait until they got to the castle find out more about the job since Pix was obviously to drunk to explain any more than he already had. "Hey", he said nudging him with his foot, "can you stand?" He watched Pix who didn't respond right away and wondered if he was unconcious. "Get up." He said nudging him a little harder.

((I'mma move this ahead a little bit))
When Gregor finally got around to helping Pix up, they both agreed they were in no condition for movement. Gregor, the more sober of the two called for water in an attempt to sober them up. It was well in the after noon before they actually left the bar and rounded up the things Pix had bought.
Upon arriving at the castle Pix had one of the servants wandering around doing the random tasks of the castle, and told him to get the others, including Lord Tanner.
