The Professor stood there waiting for him to return putting his hand in his pocket pulling out a pocket watch poping it open looking at it to see what time it was then looked to the other people around the place hoping to start a conversation.

With a calm smile he watched as she nervously looked around. "I think you appear to be in danger, that's what I think." He told her as he sat on one of the counters. "Look, I don't expect you to tell me what your'e running from. All I can do is offer you safety here."

She blinked. "It's not safe here. I'm not safe anywhere. I..."
She choked back tears. "I'm sure you mean well. But I need to disappear. According to many I shouldn't have been born."

"I can assure you that everyone at least has a place being born dear girl." He told her keeping the same calm smile "If you would only tell me what was troubling you, I'm sure something could be worked out." Reaching a hand out to the girl he turned it so his palm was facing upwards "Come with me, tell me of your problems tonight and I will give you safety."

Keith walked in, a ching and a thud resonating though the structure everytime he took a step. clad in black and red, his lower face covered by a scarf, he walked to the nearest empty chair, and with a sigh relaxed his body.

It was so tempting. She felt as if she could trust him, go with him. But she knew that was wrong. Even if his intentions were honest, how would he protect her? They were too strong. Even his knowing would put both of them in danger. "I don't know if I can tell you," she said, her hand hovering over his, undecided.

"One can only run so far." He told her as he saw the concern in her face "But I assure you, you are safe here. I will give you a room to stay in upstairs and you may stay here untill we figure things out."

"Would you let me stay," she asked, "knowing full well that even this conversation we're having is a risk to you, and that I can not tell you why I'm running?" This odd mixture of hope and wariness coursed through her body. Could she trust this man?

"To help somebody, this is a risk I'm willing to take. I have my own reasons for helping people." He said as he pulled a key from his pocket and handed it to her. "This is the key to my room. Take what you need and pick a room, the keys are all in there. Just be sure to lock the door behind you."

Her body felt shaky with relief. She put her arms around him in a cautious hug before thanking him and heading upstairs. Looking around, she picked a small room in the left and found some pillows and blankets. She could stay here, she hoped. Once she got a job she could acquire some furniture and such. Maybe life would be possible from now on. God knows it hadn't been, in any normal sense of the word, in the past. She sat down, her body weak with relief and emotion but her mind cold, calculating. What was the next ship she needed to take? A job, she figured. First thing in the morning she would set out for the docks and find herself a job among the masses, so that she didn't stand out too much.

Returning to the front he turned to the professor "Quite sorry about that sir. What can I get you?" Zephyte asked as he walked around the counter and cleaned a few things up from his previous patrons. "We have quite the selection of things to choose from."

The Professor looked to the man and nodded "Well my dear boy I would like a cup of green tea. So tell me has the captain been through here as of late?"

She stretched out on the makeshift pallet and drifted off into sleep. For the first time in weeks, her sleep was not plagued with nightmares.

"Nay sir, he has not." Zephyte told the professor as he turned to get the mans tea "Though it would be quite nice if he'd spare us a visit." He continued as he slid the cup of tea onto the counter.

Erimentha walked into the tea house and smiled at the comfortable set up her arms wrapped around some books which she hugged to get chest.
Which in turn made her miss the rug that had bunched up on the floor, her boot caught and she fell onto her face books going everywhere as she tried to stop her fall.
"Oh dear." She muttered and picked herself up quickly her cheeks flushing bright red as she went about gathering up her books one by one.
She then quickly trotted over to the counter and asked for a cup of tea to calm her nevers and worked her way towards the tables and chairs taking a seat at a vacant one she spread her books out and leant back in the chair and breathed out a sigh.
