It had been a long day and they were going to have to set out early the next day. When they got to the gate, their guard captain approached them apologetically.“I’m sorry. She said she was on official business. I tried to keep her out, but she just…”“What? Someone’s here?” Jackal’s good mood was deteriorating.They pushed the door open, looking inside.“About time you got back! I’ve been waiting for hours!” The voice wasn’t harsh, yet it had an urgency to it. “Get in here!”Inside their common room was a woman laying across one of their couches. Her skin was dark with light brown hair and growing from her back was a pair of thin butterfly-like wings. She was smiling broadly with a cup of their wine in her hands and was outfitted like an adventurer ready for battle, wearing studded leather armor with a rapier at her side and a longbow lying across a nearby table. Around her neck hung an amulet depicting the symbol of the Sensates. She was quite beautiful.“Malorie Wildblood at your service!” She waved them inside like she was inviting them into her home. Of course, it was their home.“Who are you?” “What are you doing here?” “What’s going on?” Everyone spoke out at once.She laughed, “Wait, didn’t they tell you we’d be working together? I’m here to help with the Green Marvent thing. The Sensates want him just as much as you do, you know.” She swiveled and stood. “I heard you had something, that you consulted your fortune teller or whatever it was that you did.”“I consulted with a fellow wizard, yes,” replied Malbi, a bit purterbed. “We’ve narrowed it down, but there are still things to do before we go after him.” He looked up and down the figure. Sensates, they were always so eager to head out without taking the time to become fully prepared.She frowned a bit. “And, I was all ready to head out.” She fell back into the couch, an action that got a frown out of Jackal, though this one was more out of anger than boredom.Sensing his companion’s displeasure, Malbi spoke up. “If that will be all for now, we’ll contact you when its time to go… wherever it is we’re going to go. In the meantime we have business to attend to. I’m sure you understand.”“But, we should get to know each other. I like to know the people I work with, makes me feel more comfortable. We could go out for a drink or something, tell me about yourselves.”“Maybe some other time. We’re on a tight schedule.”“Schedule you say?” She looked over each one of them. The expressions on their faces were very serious. She sighed and frowned again. “Well, I guess I could come back later, when you have less to do.”“We’re always busy,” said Jackal.She looked at him quizzically. “Hrm… I don’t doubt it. Well, the Sensates are very interested in Marvent, so you be sure to call on me before you go do that. I’m not too hard to find, so I doubt there will be any problems. I can drop everything at a moment’s notice. I’m not really all that… scheduled.” She chuckled, saw that no one else was laughing, shrugged and headed out. “Oh, and try not to be too long,” she added as she left through the front door with a wave behind her.Jackal collapsed onto the couch that she had just taken up. “Great. I don’t trust her.”“You don’t trust anyone,” noted Stock.Jackal scoweled, rose, and headed to his room. “We leave early in the morning, so get some rest.”</blockquote>
