[QUOTE="Kobold Stew, post: 8359301, member: 23484"] Tillington is breathing fast, and has been running for the past hour through the city streets. It's not a good look for him, and he's scared. Scared because he's nowhere near the guildhall, and the safety it provides to him as a full member, and scared because he shouldn't have gone with a client to their rooms. She had seen his face -- Annabella was the name she had used, but he was doubting even that -- and he had killed her (when she tried to tie him up) so he could escape; that was the order his memory told him things had happened, at least. Had she succeeded, that would have signalled the end for that particular identity, one which had proved quite lucrative since he had arrived here in town. He rubbed the rope burns on his wrists, and wiped the bloody dagger clean in a puddle in an alley, using a sock to dry the blade. She hadn't known the name he used with the guild, and so even if she had told someone else what she was planning, it shouldn't lead back to him. That said, there'd be additional safety if he could find his way into a caravan or wagon leaving town, for a few days. Why had he gone with her in the first place? Was her intrest in him and his size really so appealing. He had been flattered by Annabella's attention and the way she had complimented the work he had done on her transit documents. She had wanted to leave town, and this was her last night. What a chump he had proved himself to be. And now he knew nothing, about who she really was, why she had wanted the documents, why she had paid him without haggling, something no one ever does (he'd left the money, he now realized, feeling his purse with its few coins inside). He was running from someone, he was sure, but he didn't know who. What he needed was a friendly face and a month in the country. [/QUOTE]
