Assassin City

[sblock]Ethranor looks back at them as if he has no idea of why they are looking at them. After some long seconds he says You wanted me in, didn't you? Ah, well... and he turns around, dramaticaly, staring at the wall[/sblock]

[sblock=Ethranor]As he turns he catches a glimpse of the healer smiling and of Diane looking embarrassed. He hears the rustle of the cloth and then the healer speaks. "Goodness dear but you look like you've slept in a trash heap. However did you get so filthy?" Ethranor can hear the stool the healer had taken a seat on scrape against the floor, most likely turning to look at his back accusingly.

"Uh- Oh no. No. None of this is Ethranor's fault. H- he saved me... I mean... well... he... um... I..." Diane begins to sniff like she's trying not to cry. "I mean, he found me... I don't know what happened but I... he found me and brought me here."

The stool scrapes again and the healer speaks in a softer voice. "Oh, there now, stop your weeping child. You'll be just fine. Look, you've got a right noble young man here to look after ya, who isn't half bad looking either, and I'll have you patched up soon, you're goin' to be fine. Now, let me take a look at those scrapes, don't want we're goin' to need to clean em before they get worse."

The healer calls the inkeeper for some hot water and a clean washing cloth and takes a moment to jokingly ask Ethranor if he wants a bath too. Diane repeatedly lets out little squeaks of pain as her cuts are carefully cleaned and dressed.

Finally the healer says, "Well now. You should heal fine without any serious scarring. And it seems you've got only a mild fever, so you should be just fine with some rest."[/sblock]
 

[sblock] Ethranor says "That's wonderful" and then thanks the healer for her help. "May I ask for a further service? Could you come with me to the market and pick some vest for her? She will have to rest at her home, or her father will soon send the soldiers to look for her...but she certainly can't go back home with a blanket instead of some dress."

He assures Diane that he will be back soon, and then goes with the healer to the market. He is also going to pay her: a standard-generous pay, a little bit higher than whatever healers usually get.[/sblock]

OOC: It could be inefficient to let only_the_strong wait for me to finish. May I suggest that you two move on? If he wasn't able to go in the higher city, he maybe knows some of my contacts that can get him in.

OOC: I was thinking that too, but it's all up to OtS.

[sblock=Ethranor]Diane seems unhappy to see him go, but she doesn't make a fuss, instead trying to lie back and relax like the healer told her to. The healer turns to Ethranor, "I suppose I can spare half an hour. I haven't bought clothes in a while. Just who is her father?" She asks skeptically.

OOC: and I'll come up with a price in the near future.[/sblock]
 

[sblock] Why, his majesty the King, of course says Ethranor with absolute innocence and sicerity. Then he stares at the healer, watching her eventual reaction, and making clear that he was not serious. He will then go out with the healer and buy some decent clothes for Diane (the kind that she would wear in a normal day), and he will insist on buy some nice dress for the healer, too.[/sblock]
 

[sblock=Ethranor]The healer frowns at Ethranor suspiciously for a moment, but then shakes her head and starts walking.

Ethranor knows that finding clothes suited to a noblewoman would be rather difficult in the low ward. At least legally. Also, there's no king, only a teenage queen.[/sblock]

[sblock] OOC: yeah, that's why it was especially funny :P
Dire Lemming, Shall we settle on wether I can easily get into the higher ward? As my normal self is a rich son of a merchant who often gets into the nobles parties, I assumed that I have the papers required to get into the higher ward. Otherwise, I could have just bribed some bureaucrat to make me one.

[sblock=Nightbreeze] I suppose that's fine. The main problem Ethan has been having is that he's trying to get in when it's still closed to pretty much everyone. Also, he was apparently trying to convince the guard that she was insane.[/sblock]
