Felicia listened to the explanation. She was not interested in the reason that they were doing this, she just needed to know what she needed to do, and that too was soon revealed. Felicia snatched the detonator out of mid air as it came flying at her. "Truth be told I am better with knives, but I am not bad with explosives. I think I can manage." Felicia replied as she mulled over the information. "So you want me to set up explosions around the institute but not harm it or people, just enough to scatter those in side and freak them out so you can get around and find the person you want. That is not as difficult as you first made it sound. But I like the idea. It is flashy." Felicia played with the detonator before sliding it into her pocket and standing up. "What are we waiting for then?" She asked as she glanced at her pack. "Tory, Justin, you are with me. Tim, you are in charge of keeping the rest of the pack safe until I return." She instructed the wolves around her. She decided to take one of her bigger members with her, a lot of force behind him, but mostly force. The other person was smaller but she had noticed during their fight, more stealthy and calculative. Who knew what she might run into on the mission so she thought it best to have them join her. She stood near the door and glanced back waiting for the others to join her, take her to the stash of explosives. Roxanne had eventually found her way to the safe house in the text. She was tired from running nearly the entire way, and probably looked like a mess from the fitful nap she took in the closet, but she didn't care. As much as she wanted to look good for Alarick, if she was in trouble, and he was helping her, then what would he care what she looked like. She just needed to hide from the Clave before he decided she was too much trouble. Roxanne didn't bother knocking, instead just walking in the front door. She was out of breath and panting as she started in the house but was set on a mission to find Alarick and ask him about what was going on. She had not made it too far into the house however before she heard voices, neither of which belonged to Alarick. Roxanne drew her seraph blade and slowly walked towards the room the voices were coming from. Did the Clave some how find out about this meeting place and already sent people here for her? She stepped around the corner into the living area, pointing the blade at the two inside. "W-what are you doing here?" She demanded of them, but her voice was slightly shaky, scared even. When she had faced Alarick with Brianne, neither of them stood a chance. If these people were sent from the Clave they were likely to be just as strong and she was alone this time. Everything in her mind was telling her she messed up and deserved this. She deserved to die, but she didn't want to die. She would fight if she had to right now, she wouldn't let them just take her. Though if there was a fight she wouldn't stand a chance since she was so wrapped up within her own mind to spot something that revealed the fact that she was safer, she failed to notice that the people in front of her were something other than nephilim.
"Well I would be a hypocrite if I feared what I served out so very often, wouldn't I? We can't have that. So no death nor pain scare me, you will have to come up with a more creative way if you want to get me talking." Rose replied. No matter the pain she would still keep sight of herself, still talk back all she liked. She didn't much care what they threw her way, she believed that she had the ability to endure it. It sounded like Jaden was about to give another order when he was interrupted. Rose did her best to listen in on what was being said, however not too much was spoken of in front of her. At least they had some shred of inelegance, though he still gave the order to move her, and Rose questioned the inelegance of that. Currently they were in a place she was pretty sure the demi-gods were unaware of, and they were to move her to a place they knew of. On top of that transport was always the easiest time for rescue. Rose wasn't going to complain of course, but she did wonder how the Shards of Hope managed to survive so long. Aster had watched as his sister was tortured for information. As he expected she stayed strong through it, and even had the guts to talk back at the end. She had always been that way, she didn't know when it was time to give in. As kids no matter how much he tormented her she refused to cry or tell their parents, that was why he was the good child. She would retaliate, and Aster had no problems being that person and telling on her. By the end of this her stubbornness would get her killed. That being said he doubted he could let it get that far, and if he did he would probably force himself to leave the room. He might not like his sister, but they shared a womb together, he couldn't stand there and watch her die. With orders given, Aster approached his sister and took up the chains that bound her. "Guess what they say is true, you really are a b*tch. You have a leash and everything." He taunted his sister with a smile before giving her a sharp tug causing her to stumble a bit before she had a chance to try to attack him. That being said, with the amount of chains they now had attached to her, she would have a hard time attacking in the first place. Surprisingly Rose did not struggle too much as Aster lead her to the transport depot. Once there he was told to choose a transport to put her in. The middle one would be too obvious so he chose the left most one. He forced her in before shutting the door and standing outside waiting for Carissa's further orders. He hoped that she wouldn't make him sit with Rose in the vehicle, that would be a hellish trip.
"Likewise." Felicia replied to Athelrick with a nod. She then turned to Clarity. "So this is the form of payment you choose. I suppose I can't deny either way, not that I necessarily would even if I didn't owe you this." Felicia said as she strolled further into the basement area and took a seat on one of the less run down couches. She motioned for the other two to join her in sitting though she wouldn't blame them if they didn't. The furniture was not in the best of shape at the moment. She would get new stuff when she had an extra minute to get her hands on it. That was of course if they didn't find another group of wolves that had somewhere better to stay, then when she beat whoever thought they were in charge she would simply take home there. Felicia's hand rested on the pommel of her sword as she looked at the two before her. Her eyes rested on the shadow hunter for a moment, wondering if that was who she was really going to be doing the work for. She didn't hate Shadow hunters, but at the same time Felicia couldn't say she was particularly fond of them either. Having one in her home made her slightly uneasy, not that she would show it. And she certainly didn't think he would be able to do anything to them. On against eleven were good odds in her favour to start, plus she was alph for a reason. "So what is this favour?" Felicia asked, her eyes flicking back to Clarity.
Laurentinus was pacing the house a bit when there was a noise that caused him to cover his ears and wince. Looking up he noticed that the Spider that had helped them seemed to be in pain or something himself. Drawing his sword Laurentinus prepared himself for whatever was to come. He wasn't challenging the shadowweaver that had been so nice to them. He was just instinctively getting ready for anything that might threaten him... But more importantly Kara. Stepping back outside the house Laurentinus held his sword in front of him. He was not going to hide from the threat and he wasn't going to let it hurt them or the shadowweaver. Kara had already taken care of challenging the voice, so he had to be ready if it took up the offer, and knowing their luck it would. "It will be okay buddy. We will take care of this thing that is hurting you. You will be fine." He spoke calmly to the spider, trying to keep it calm as he patted it. Now he just had to wait, ready for anything, to see what would come of this. Sebastian was strangely flattered by the words Sanderson chose to use to invite him to eat with them. It seemed like the man understood how glorious he was. How much the gods shined down on him. Though who wouldn't see that? Then the other man known as Bryce spoke up. "I am not going to rob you my good man. You see I too was hired by the man who hired you people. I am supposed to protect the city, so I suppose that can fall under what you are doing. You know what. I think it would be a pleasure to join you for a meal, and then perhaps in the morning you would allow me to join you on your hunt." Sebastian suggested.
Felicia was resting on a chair at last when her phone vibrated in her pocket. Drawing it out she stared at a text from the Ifrit that she owed money, or a favour to. Felicia sighed, she so did not want company tonight. What else could she expect though, it was hardly surprising someone wanted their payment. She glanced around at her pack, she was not going to send them away, but perhaps prepare them for someone to visit. "Friends of mine are stopping by, try not to rip their throats out, it is just an Ifrit I owe a favour too. Please behave." She instructed those in front of her. Moments later there was a knock at the metal door that served as an entrance to the basement. Felicia strolled over to the door casually. She didn't feel threatened no matter what might be on the other side. Not in her wolf form she was equally as deadly as in her wolf form. Her body was covered in knives and swords and she was always ready to use them. Chances were that if there was a fight, she would win. Upon opening the door she discovered that her Ifrit friend was not alone, so that is what she meant by guests. "Who's this?" Felicia asked as she stepped aside allowing the two of them into the basement where ten other werewolves lounged, staring at them. Once the two were inside, Felicia shut and locked the door behind them. "Make yourselves at home." Slavko sat in a car watching for when the order that he had placed had been picked up. It was a decently large order with various things that would require different shape and sized containers, just so he could be sure it was the right one. He watched as a beautiful young lady walked up to the counter and picked it up. When she was paying he drove off. He had already "accidentally" leaked oil through the nearest intersection that she would have to pass through, now he had to wait for her to get to the light, but of course after he ditched the car for the time being. Parking the car in a nearby parking lot Slavko walked to the intersection and found a shop doorway to take cover in. He kept himself mostly hidden from the drivers view, but he could see them. He waited until he spotted the same girl nearing the intersection. That was when the chaos ensued. Slavko let out a curse among all the drivers in the area, one to cause them all horrible luck. Once that was done he began to walk away. He had barely made it around the corner before he heard the first horn and crash, followed by several other crashes. A smile crossed his face as he climbed into his car to go home. Hitting the ground at last, Roxanne took her time sneaking off the property of the institute. Once off she cast a glamour rune and began to run through the streets of New York. She had no mode of transport besides running, so it might take a while to get to the safe house, but she had to try before Brianne catches she is gone and she or the Clave came after her. She just had to get out. How had she managed to get herself into this mess? She didn't do anything that wrong did she? She hadn't thought so, but according to the text the Clave was hunting her. It was unfair, all she wanted was to try to live her life in whatever way she could manage, but she wasn't allowed that anymore it seemed.
Demands were thrown once again, and once again Rose responded with only a smug smile. She wasn't going to tell them crap. She didn't care what they did to her because they would keep her alive as long as it took to get the information. By the time that would ever happen she will have escaped or Jayce will have shown up to rescue her. She was one of his best, in more ways than one, he wouldn't let her go that easily. All she had to do was wait it out, no matter what they did to her. That being said what came next did cause a fair amount of pain. It had started with just a light touch, but even that made her slightly uncomfortable. The touch though quickly grew hotter until she could feel her skin searing from it. Tears formed in the corner of Rose's eyes but she still wore a smug smile. He seemed calm but Rose knew better than to judge on appearances. He was probably enjoying this far too much, so she was not going to give him the pleasure of seeing her pain. She smirked at him and taunted him with her eyes. Challenging him to go past Jayden's orders. She would love to see the man get into trouble for taking things a step too far. When the heat stopped she dropped her grin and made her face neutral. Her hand still burned and ached from the heat, but she pushed the pain to the back of her mind for the time being as she looked Jayden straight in the eye. "Bite me." Was all she said as she waited for the next wave of pain.
Roxanne's sleep in the closet was a restless one. It was not just because she was curled up in a closet instead of being somewhere proper to sleep, but also her own mind was still getting the better of her. She awoke from a fitful sleep when her phone rang fairly loudly. Roxanne fumbled for it not really caring to look, but knew that she had to. The only people who would be messaging her would be a fellow shadow hunter, and if they bothered messaging her, something must be up. Reading the text message Roxanne forced herself to her feet. Had Brianne told the Clave what she had done and he was mad? Was he going to kill her for her actions with the werewolf? She didn't think what she had done was that bad, but then again she was already on thin ice. And if that was the case why was Alarick bothering to help her with the situation? Perhaps actually liked her in the end. Was it even possible for someone to like her anymore? She didn't know but she did know that if she was being hunted she would have to leave the institute, and without Brianne knowing. Roxanne slowed her breath as she cast a rune of silence before peaking out the door. When she was satisfied that the hall was clear, she started down in, watching and listening for anyone who might be around. She had to find a way out that no one would see. Going to an entrance was out of the question, so instead she headed for one of the less suspicious area's for her to leave from. She slipped up a set of steps towards the back of the place up to the second level, which thankfully was still pretty quiet. From there she headed to a window that she knew had a ledge near it outside. Roxanne climbed through the window and started down the side of the building. She hoped that she could make it to the safe house before Brianne noticed that she had left. After a while Felicia ended up shifting from her wolf form into her human one, it was a little easier to do things in, like move around whatever crappy furniture was left around the building to make things more comfortable for her. Perhaps later she would acquire something better, but it was not worth it tonight. She had already been in numerous fights and wanted to keep an eye on her new pack. She didn't trust their loyalty yet, that had not proved it. That would come in time. While some of the pack remained in wolf form, others were humans too and helping her reorganize and talking among themselves. Form what she could tell, the previous Alpha had left her with a really good group of people to work with. She looked forward to it.
Well the pity thing didn't work too well, he was still being arrested and pushed around. Talon gritted his teeth, this was not how he wished things to go. Though he still had time to get things figured out. He was sure his sister would be asleep by now, so as long as he found a way to talk himself out of this by morning then everything would be fine, he was sure it would be. However that was actually a lie, he didn't know if it would be okay, he just had to keep telling himself that in order to keep himself calm. Talon moved forward with very little resistance, that definitely wouldn't help his case. He was too busy processing things in his own mind to notice that the situation behind him changed. Or at least that was until the explosion. Talon turned to see what happened, but could hardly tell. Now was the time to run if he was going to run, but he could not make his feet move. He could only watch the explosion as in enveloped the area. He could feel the heat of it from where he stood. So it seemed in the end, despite trying to step in, he failed at his task. "I can be a worthy heir though. But that shouldn't include saying people should die. That is unfair." Annabelle stated, sounding a little upset by it. Annabelle started to move around the garden after that looking for something to do. She had not come up with many idea's but she did find an area of just dirt and sand. Annabelle took a seat on the grass at the edge of the area before she started to do something. At first to most people it looked like she was just waving her hands around for no reason. However if people looked at the dirt and sand in front of the girl, it started to rise from the ground and form something. What at first seemed like a clump of dirt soon turned into a shape of a castle. It wasn't too well done, but it was decent. "Look what I made Violet!" Annabelle announced when she had dubbed her creation complete. Seth sighed the bar scene was different than the docks. He had blended into all types of life and people in order to hide. "Working at the docks is worse. At least those at the bar know if they do anything to you, they won't be getting their booze anymore, something most can't live without. The men at the docks, when they see a girl, they see someone good for a f*ck and then what happens after that isn't any of their problem. I won't let you down there." Seth told Tessa in a strict voice. However she was just as strict with him and going to get a job the next day. Seth stared at Tessa's eyes for a moment in all their beauty. He reached over and brushed hair from her face with his good hand as he tried to think of how to respond. Tessa really left him with no option. "One day, then I can't afford to risk Sigmund's wrath. We need this protection. You aren't well enough to travel too far yet. Just please promise me in return you won't do anything too stupid trying to be independent. I don't want to lose you. Just the thought of it is the scariest idea in the world to me." He told Tessa, his fingers tracing the lines in her face, her cheek bone right down to her chin. Slowly he pushed himself up so he was hovering more over Tessa. His eyes never left hers as he lowered his mouth to hers. He knew he had to keep himself in check, not take this too far, but at this point he couldn't stop himself from kissing her like he wanted to so badly. Tatiana could get the hint from Veera that she should leave, and Vecelsav only confirmed that. Tatiana got up and gave them a small nod. "Goodnight." She told them as she walked away. For a moment it crossed Tatian's mind that coming to Kaer was a bad idea, but then the thought of her brother finding a way here made her realize that it was fine. She was sleep nice and long and get a proper rest, and then before she knew it Aaron would be there to help her. He would keep her safe, even if she had to travel with him. She wanted him to see the world and fulfill his dream, but until she felt safe again she couldn't let go of him yet. She felt bad for it, but after everything she had done for her, she didn't think he would have a problem of doing something for her. Once in the room Tatiana stripped off the bed sheet that she was using as clothing for the time being. She didn't bother with doing anything to get ready for bed before crawling into the nice warm bed. There was some comfort in being able to have a bed to herself. She felt safe right now, something that didn't happen too often. She was able to sleep soundly if just for this single night.
Slavko had found his way to the apartment building that was listen on the drivers licence. He felt fortunate that at the entrance there was a list of apartment number's and the people living in each apartment for him. Once he found the number with the name Reynolds on it he simply took out a set of keys and entered the apartment building. Find the actual room after that was not hard. Entering his apartment he was thankful that it was quiet. However there was still an issue. When he entered it seemed far too tidy for that of a bachelor. Upon further investigation he discovered that the closet was mostly filled with females clothing. Well this would be an issue. Pacing back to the kitchen he noticed a note on the table as well, which seemed to be from the significant other of Ryan Reynolds. At least she wasn't going to be home for a while. That would give him time to plan and figure out how to deal with the situation. He needed to get rid of the girl, but how could he do that without putting himself under suspect when he was supposed to be trying to date Nick? Slavko didn't want to risk dumping the body but perhaps he could do something from this body of his. Make it look like an accident. Perhaps a mass amount of bad luck of all drivers in an intersection as she got there. Chances were that one of them would cause a huge crash, and if his car happens to have an oil leak through that area right before it... Well that would just fan the flames. Taking out his phone he sent a text to the woman with hearts beside her name, asking her to pick up pizza on the way home, offering to order it before hand. All he had to do was watch for the person who picked up the order and then move to the nearest intersection she would mostly go through. That wouldn't be too hard, and if numerous lives were lost, it was even better. Once the text was sent Slavko headed out to the car to prepare. Having got a good start on her pack, Felicia decided to lay low for the rest of the night. It would be better to keep the amount of people challenging her at once to a minimum, controlling the take over slowly. Try to push too hard all at once and too many people would ban together against her. She gained them slowly they wouldn't see the true threat until it was too late to do much about it. That is what she was aiming for. On top of this she still needed to figure out proper payment to the Ifrit for the information about the previous Alpha not being around any more. It wasn't something worth a lot but it was worth something. Felicia wasn't too fond of the idea of giving her cash, so perhaps a favour if she would take it. That being said she would let the girl find her. If she couldn't accomplish that, then why bother paying her at all?
Karina gave a friendly nod to Krowley as he used Red paint on her. She was feeling stronger due to it. She liked this form and this power up, it was more than a little helpful. Karina cracked a smile thinking about the damage she could do with this. Even more so she imagined what she could do once her body was ready to handle using Zantetsuken again. If Hikaru could boost her power once again then, then she would be set. For now she settled with simple attacks against the shadow blot. It was her best option. Karina used a combo
Well at least someone agreed with her, but he had always made her uncomfortable. He called her by the wrong name, however she was not too put off by this, chances were she didn't say it. She couldn't remember if she had or not. "My name is Anthea, not Christina. But hey at least you got the a right." Anthea said trying to act nice about it, adding a small smile as well. Anthea then turned towards the way she thought they came from, expecting them to leave soon. Kara had slightly stepped away from him. Did he do something wrong? Was he acting too happy that she was safe and it scared her? Laurentinus didn't quite get it, but he didn't have time to figure it out. He was supposed to be finding his friends and the spider seemed willing to take him to his friends, or at least that is what he understood about the situation. Laurentinus followed a little behind Kara and the spider, giving her some space. Perhaps later he could figure this out, but for now he was more concerned about what was happening with Conrad and Tessa. He wanted to know that they were safe. The spider had lead them to a small house and seemed to be telling them to enter. Laurentinus followed Kara inside and looked around. The house seemed to be empty. "I don't know if they were here or not, but the spider must have led us here for a reason. Perhaps whoever lives here will know where Tessa and Conrad are. It is worth waiting around I suppose." Ren suggested. His horse was the whitest of white, and as majestic as a pink unicorn with wings. Except it was a little slower than that. The only reason that he could afford such a horse was because the horse had broken it;s leg in the past and couldn't run as fast as he used to, not making much use for his old owner. He had got her for a good price and really she was beautiful. The gods had smile on him that day, like they had every other day. Yes he was favored by the gods. Sebastian Whitethorn road through the town of Fordington towards the outskirts. He had been hired by Mayor Ulysses Emirys to protect this town, and protect it he would. After all that is what his god, The Guardian, would want him to do. The pay wasn't bad either he supposed. He had heard rumour of people no one knew hiding in the fields, so Sebastian thought it best to go check things out, for the safety of Fordington after all. Arriving at the camp Sebastian remained on his mount, giving him an air of authority hover them... he hoped. "Citizens of this camp. Who are you, and what are you doing here? I have not seen you around before. Don't you know that the town is in ruins? It is not the best place for you to be at this time. Perhaps I could even be convinced to escort you somewhere safer, for the right fee of course. I wish I could offer the service for free to you lovely people, but a man has to feed his horse after all."
So it seemed like a few people here knew what was going on, the rest were kind of left in the dark. Well that wasn't true they were talking it over now, but up until this point they didn't know what happened. As Aston said, they had been dragged into the middle of some grudge. That was just great. Anthea really wanted no part of it, whatsoever. She wished that she could just turn and leave right now, but she knew it was a bad idea. She contemplated telling them that they should go, but she didn't think anyone would agree anyways so what was the point? Anthea bit her lip as she listened to everything go down. "Well if you want this valuable thing, don't you think we should go. I mean won't the other people get it first if we keep standing around here?" Anthea finally spoke up but cringed soon after expecting some sort of backlash from it. She didn't know why she assumed this but she just did. Perhaps they would like the idea, but still if that meant that there was a bunch of attention on her then she would still be a little nervous. She didn't like the idea of having too much attention on her either. However she would just have to live with whatever the outcome was, because it was too late to take back what she said now, and Aston wanted her to talk more, not be as shy.

Slavko soon hopped on his own bike when Nick got in the car. He watched the car drive away before turning and heading the other direction. When slightly away from where the crash happened Slavko took out the wallet of the person he possessed in order to figure out some things about him. For example, where he lived. If the man was a bachelor which he assumed he was, then crashing his place wouldn't be a problem. And then there was how much money he had, whether or not he could drive. All this was useful. He was able to drive and he had a place a few blocks away. There was a problem though, it was an apartment and he didn't know which apartment number it was. Oh well he could figure it out when he got there. It wasn't like he was going to invite Nick to his apartment on the first date.
It took a while but they made it home. Matilda's arms were tired from carrying Gregory who did not manage to stay awake, but the made it. Entering the all to quiet house Matilda brought her brother up to his room and laid him down before heading back downstairs to find Talon. He wouldn't have gone to bed, but perhaps he fell asleep while waiting, or went to the kitchen to get a snack. Matilda paced around the house a couple times before deciding for a fact that Talon had not come home yet. Perhaps he was just actually enjoying himself at the bars like she told him to. If that was the case he might be out most of the night. It was best that she just got some sleep. It wasn't like she needed to talk to Talon, she just wanted to make sure that he knew they made it home alright. So Matilda went off to her own bed, quickly falling asleep. This guard was clearly insane. Who let people this mentally unstable on the city guard? You were just asking for a lot of trouble. Of course Talon now found himself in the middle of it, and Xross, who insisted on following, didn't help the situation at all. Talon considered turning and walking away from the situation like he never saw a thing, however the problem was with how insane this man was, it would likely end in a cross bow bolt in his back, then he really wouldn't be making it back to his sister. Due to that fact he was forced to remain and almost allow the arrest with little fighting. Once everyone calmed down he could try to talk his way out of this, but he had no weapon with him to fight his way out and he couldn't risk dying when Matilda and Greg were waiting for him at home. Talon rolled his eyes as the guard talked to him. "You realize not everyone attends royal announcements. I have been quite busy in my house doing work today and this is the first I have been out. And you are all assuming from a glance I could tell it was a doppler. I only ask because a couple times I have seen guards get bored and abuse their power for their own entertainment." Talon explained. He did not support the kings orders for taking dopplers but he wouldn't say that here. He couldn't be pegged as a doppler sympathizer or else that would not only put him in danger but his siblings as well. "Listen I know you are only trying to do your job, but I must return home. My brother and sister are waiting there for me and right now I am their care taker. I won't get involved again I promise and I will reward you for your trouble. Just please give me a break this once." Talon asked the guard in a quieter tone so Kyle wouldn't hear. The man already had a tone of pity in his voice, perhaps he could be convinced. Annabelle was faced with a hard question. She didn't quite know how to answer a question like that. "I don't know... Just lock her up or something. Anything to keep her away from me or the other people she torments. I don't know..." She said again. She really didn't wish death upon anyone, but after what Yana did she knew it would be the only way to ensure everyone's safety. Being a mage, Annabelle questioned if locking her up would do much to stop her. She would manage to escape somehow and torment them again. "Do we have to talk about this? I don't like it." Annabelle said before yawning. She was starting to get tired and that didn't help her facing the hard questions being asked by Archon. "Tessa I have to go get that job tomorrow. That is what will seal our safety. Please let me do this, and don't get yourself involved, at least not at the docks. I have been there a few times in my years of traveling, seen the workers and their attitudes. They will abuse you and hurt you and not care. It is not a safe place to be." Seth explained as he placed his good hand on her cheek and looked at her. "It will be okay, I promise. Now lets get some sleep, it has been a long couple days." Seth told her before laying down and waiting for Tessa to cuddle in next to him so he could wrap his arms around her. Terra sat in silence a moment before speaking again. She couldn't do another day staying in the damn bed. "Tomorrow... could we um, go for a walk. I need out of this bed. I know I shouldn't because of my injuries but I will go crazy to sit here another day." Terra made her request, hoping that Sweallow would allow it. Perhaps he would have something to numb the pain in order to make things easier. She just hoped she could do something. All Tatiana was told is that the portal closed so no one else would be coming. However that didn't mean that her brother wouldn't show up eventually. It might just take him longer. But Veera soon collapsed after this and everyone seemed out of it. Most didn't seem to care that she was there either. That being said she was simply a human with not much to do. She didn't expect too many people to care for her. They all went inside and while rooms were offered to rest in and Tatiana knew that the witchers needed rest, she couldn't bring herself to leave them just yet. She wanted conformation that her brother was coming. She wanted to know what happened in Oxenfurt. She wanted to know she was actually allowed here. However sitting down by the fire with Veceslav and Veera, Tatiana couldn't actually bring herself to say anything else.
Amber stopped walking when Drake made the suggestion. She turned to face him, contemplating his suggestion. Going hunting, what great fun that would be. But could she really leave for the day? Galadorn and Kala were due for protection duty soon, though she didn't really care for them to be there. That being said they would insist and if she just wasn't there they would worry. And then there was always if someone needed her. "I don't know if I can...." She said but she really wanted to. Drake was right, she did need a break. "I guess... we shouldn't be out for long, but a quick hunt would be refreshing." Amber hesitated once more before finally nodding. "Okay, lets go." She agreed as she stepped past Drake, this time not taking off too far without him, instead allowing him to take the lead. That was at least until they actually got hunting, then she waited for no man. Adelina listened from the kitchen as she cooked. She smiled slightly when she heard Gale offer to help Tessa. That could be all it took to get them to start talking more, and then the rest would happen on it's own she was sure. Finishing off Gale's food she plated it and then wrote a note. She tucked the note under the plate only leaving a corner sticking out before bringing it over to Gale and setting it in front of Gale. "Enjoy." She told him with a warm smile before taking her seat beside Zack once more. "I can take one now." She offered to take at least one of her children back, if not both. Spoiler: Adelina's Note Since you are too much of a boy to notice it, I thought I should point it out to you. Don't you see the way that Tessa looks at you? She likes you, and I think you should go for it. After your scout rounds why don't you ask her to go with you for a drink or something. I will set you up a little spot on the edge of town with a few drinks. You both deserve to be happy. Now go for it. You will regret not. ;)
