[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 2841442, member: 7006"] Khalia and Zan look at each other as they watch the young shifter weave and bob through the crowd heading to the south Wall District. Without saying a word, the two start hoofing it after the shifter, in hopes of catching up or at least finding out where the shifter is going. Within a few moments of following the trail, they both hear [COLOR=DimGray][Listen TN 15 / Khalia 14+2=16 *success*; Zan 19-1=18 *success*][/COLOR] one of the townsfolk yell to the shifter that he thought Watchmaster Silversun was returning to the South Wall outpost, and with a nod of thanks, Rarril doubles his speed. The two continue on down the street after young Thom. ********** Watchmaster Silversun enters the outpost as the voices reach a crescendo. Watchman Boggs is arguing with Watchman Barr, Garrick is laughing and teasing the other Watchmen in the stalls, Amycothe is trying to get someone's attention, and shortly after Ari and Taviss enter and Ari gives Amy his two cents on the matter. Finally deciding he's had enough of the hubbub, Silversun shouts above the din. [COLOR=Silver]"ALL RIGHT! THAT'S ENOUGH!
