Welcome to Gaia! ::

Schaden was working alone that night. Her twin brother had firmly been told to keep his big nose out of it, this task did not call for common thuggery but instead for a lighter touch.
Silence and cunning were vital on spying missions, and Freude had neither of these qualities. Schaden, on the other hand, had them in spades. She was very petite for a woman, wiry and lightning fast. Traps were hardly a problem, her mistresses house gave her more than enough practise on that front. In short she was perfect for sneaking in to rival houses to gather information that could be used against them, or following people undetected.
Tonight she was doing just that, as she made her way through the abandoned streets towards her destination, some upstart little house that was becomming overly confident. She just needed to make sure that noone saw her approach te building...

Having failed to find a way of entering the building, Schaden had no choice but to scale one of the outside walls. This was hardly convient as the liklyhood of being seen was high. She had kept to the back of the house trying hard to find a foothold between the smooth stones. The young drow woman had the appearance of a giant spider, keeping to the hollows and alcoves to avoid being seen.
There was a window nearby. That she could just about make it to. But a sudden voice from inside sent her scuttling back into the shadows. Damn it! She hadn't counted on anyone being home. Her informants had definitely told her that the family would all be gone that night. Obviously her informants were idiots. Her grip was failing fast, should she risk a battle with a stranger or fall to her death. Neither looked particularly promising, and the young woman wished she had allowed her brother to accompany her. He could at least have given her something squishy to land on.
She sucked in a breath and hoped for the best as she swung herself onto the windowsill.

Schaden scrambled to her feet warily, her hand poised over the hilt of her knife, ready to defend herself should the need arise.

"Not invade. I merely lost altitude and needed a place to perch." she said with a cautious smirk. When in danger her instinct veered towards backtalk. Still if she was going to die, she could at least go with the last word. "Do you invade the house of Kil'rahel?" She retorted a pale eyebrow raised.

Schaden was a little a little taken aback by the other woman but didnt need to be told twice. Being a scrawny thing, she had learned long ago to assess her opponents, and aven without a weapon this assassin could well and truly thrash her.
Grabbing the window frame above her head she swung herself out of her enemies room and disapearing from sight and retreating to the safety of the roof quick as lightning and as expertly as circus folk.

The young rogue stalked angrily across the floor. The clientele here were mostly males, needing to relax somewhat after their demanding training or labors. Some instinctively lowered their eyes as she passed, others who knew a little more about her did not. She was still their superior, even though she came from a destroyed house, but only just, which made things dangerous.
Seething as she spotted the cause of her grief that evening, blending in with the crowd but not enough to hide the wealth in his fabrics and general hygiene. She sank heavily into the seat across from him without waiting for an invitation.
