Assassin City

[Dire Lemming]

[sblock=Ethranor]The healer stares at Diane, and then at Ethranor, and suddenly the pieces come together. An expression of surprise and fear crosses her face as she realizes Diane's identity. "Wha- You- What is she doing here? No, nevermind. I want nothing to do with this. She'll be fine as long as she gets some rest. You had better clear this up quick if you know what's good for you." The healer quickly turns and leaves.[/sblock]

Ethranor sighs and sits down on a chair, looking out of the window. After an hour, if Diane doesn't awake first, he will wake her up gently.

 

[Dire Lemming]

Ethranor watches Diane sleep peacefully for about an hour before waking her. "Uh..." Her eyes open blearily and she blinks several times before she realizes where she is. "O- Oh, Ethranor. You're back... How late is it?"

Outside the afternoon sun is just starting to sink in the sky.

 

[Nightbreeze]

Lunchtime. We better get going, dear. I've got you a dress. Meanwhile, think about what to say to your father.

 

[Dire Lemming]

Diane seems a bit disappointed. "I... see." She looks around the room for something and apparently failing to see it, fixes Ethranor with a questioning look. "Uh, where is that old woman? I mean, otherwise... Well... Is there anyone to help me get dressed?" She asks him, looking very embarrassed.

 

[Nightbreeze]

A little bit of smile returns to the face of Ethranor. "Always glad to help, your ladyship".

After her eventual reaction, he concludes "But I suppose that a tough girl like you can always dress herself on her own. However, I'll call one of the maids here".

He goes out and asks the first maid he finds (preferably Elly), to help Diane with her clothes.

 

[Dire Lemming]

Ethranor's joke is enough to give Diane a small smile as he heads out to find Elly. He finds her quickly as she is taking the chairs down and wiping the tables in the common room in preparation to open up. She smiles at him as he approaches, "Can I help ya' sir?" She glances at her boss, who nods at her, and then looks back at Ethranor.

 

[Nightbreeze]

Why, not really, but you can help the girl upstairs to dress herself. For some reason she thought that it wasn't adequate if I did it, and I have to admit that she is not entirely wrong.

By the way, sir, -nodding to the boss- I am really grateful for your discretion. You have done her a great favor

ooc: is only the strong still around? I have to say, even if the campaign started out as an only mission-related stuff, I appreciate the way it is going

 

[Dire Lemming]

It's clear that Elly is a bit disappointed at what Ethranor has said. "Oh... Yes, o' course. I'll go right away..." She heads up the stairs without another word.

The proprietor raises his hands in a classically submissive gesture "Nay, I should be thankin' you mi'lord. Goddess only knows how much trouble I'd be in if the guard had found her. They might have shut me down for good."


OOC: Well he hasn't posted again for this game since Ethan went back to the safehouse to wait for Ethranor. I guess he's willing to wait. I can always call him again from one of the other games I'm in with him when Ethan needs to act again. I'm just going to pretend um... what's his name, never existed though, since he never actually did anything and disappeared for no reason. It was supposed to be a one or two person game anyway.

I'm glad you're having fun.

 

[Nightbreeze]

Ederin nods, and waits for Diane to come down. Meanwhile he reconsiders Elly's strange behaviour. It is clear that she didn't recognize him. Was it possible that she was attracted to him and felt jealous?


ooc: ok then.
