The Ward's Guard

Bandar's smile grew larger. "I bring on my own equipment most of the time, but I'm more than happy to see what you have."

Bandar winked, emphasizing his eyes. "It's like you're a mind reader boss."

Bandar nodded to Red, then winked at Elene. "Always an adventure with you crystal merchant folk. I can't wait to see where you guys take me.

Bandar looked around the room, he then adopted a large and welcoming smile, despite his large and intimidating figure. "Pleasure to meet you all."

Bandar smiled, then stood up and followed closely behind all while subtly watching those who surrounded them.

Bandar nodded. "Lead the way boss Marissa."

Ros looked after Crescendo before he made a curt bow. He then moved out of the room without a word, back towards his own room.

Ros stood up, spitting out water and looking rather flustered. He offered to help Taln. "I'm deeply sorry sir, I simply was trying to help you with the flames. I hope that you can forgive me for any injury I've caused."

Ros ran in just as Taln caught fire. He then tried to tackled Taln. "Get on the ground!"

As Ros made his way to his room, he found himself lost in thought, only to be awaken by the smell of smoke. It took him a brief moment to react, but then he started running towards the source of the smoke as fast as he could.

"Oh really? Forgive me for assuming otherwise my friend. I still doubt that you would have met him anyways, as I said, he doesn't like meeting new people. I really must be off my new friend, I do hope that we can meet again. I'm sure if you want to meet with the new mayor, you could get an audience."

Kuno noted exactly where they had ended up so far by this point in the walk before he spoke next. "Well, I should be meeting with Arminio soon my new friend. I would introduce you to him, but he doesn't like it when I do that, and I respect his wishes. So I believe that we should be parting ways now Borodin."

Kuno raised an eyebrow. "I'd be surprises if you did, he doesn't get around much. That is, unless you travel a lot."

Kuno paid no notice to Borodin's illusions, but Catorphia was quite perceptive about them, she began to eye Borodin quite suspiciously. "His name is Arminio, and he's from the mountains in the south. I met him quite some time ago while I was traveling, and he promised me that if I told him where I'd be at a certain time, he'd come to visit me whenever possible. I must say though, he is not really fond of meeting strangers, and I'm fairly certain that would be the reason that he only travels at all to see me."

"I'm just meeting a friend, he's coming from a little ways away out of town. We like to meet regularly even though I travel a lot, so I let him know when and where I'll be somewhere."

Kuno looks up. "Yes well, I happened to have meeting in this direction, so that's why I'm here. I suppose that I should have told you that I had a destination in mind. I wouldn't worry too much my friend, Catorphia is more than able to deal with whatever crosses our path here. If you want to head back then there would be no harm, I'm enjoying our little conversation. After all, when everything seems to be spinning and shaking around you, it's best to find a way to level yourself, wouldn't you agree?"

"We'll put that one under my abilities of perception then. My advice still stands boss Marissa, but I guess you're the boss anyways."

"The ocean? Quite an interesting place for a Fire eyes like yourself to come from. I'm assuming that your family has quite an interesting story about how you got there, one that I'd love to hear sometime. I have no idea where the new mayor is from, although I'm assuming that he's local. With how things have been with the attacks, I doubt that the townsfolk would really want a foreigner leading the town."

"Where I'm from is easy enough, although I guess I wouldn't call it home anymore. I originally come from the Black Forests out in a Northwest-ish direction. As for Catorphia, she comes from somewhere down Southeast and the deserts that are down there. Not much exciting about that, I guess when it comes to us it's more exciting about where we've been, and where we're going too. What about you Borodin, my new friend, where do you hail from?"

"I juts heard something about major reforms to the town guard. There was something else, something about looking to other nearby towns and trying to talk with them or something like that. Although with the Amal attacks, reforming the guards should have happened long ago."

Kuno looked at Catorphia. "I'm surprised you let the thief get that close." Catorphia only responded to the comments while a firm glare before she returned to her previous spot, keeping an obvious lookout for more thieves. Kuno turned to keep walking. "It was nothing, at least, nothing that can't be replaced. I just hope that Cat won't let it happen again. What were we talking about my friend?"
