[QUOTE="doghead, post: 6232035, member: 8243"] [b]Inside the residence of Herr Borne[/b] [sblock]On the other side of the doors, Bayar and Ullara find themselves in a small covered yard. It stretches the length of the frontage of the property but is rather narrow. It is large enough for two horsemen to comfortable mount or dismount. There are two exits from the yard. The first is a set of large doors to the left of the entrance. The second is an archway to the right leading out into some sort of courtyard. Sunlight pours in through the opening. It is through the arch and into the courtyard that the Steward leads Bayar and Ullara. The courtyard is completely enclosed within the building, but open to the sky. A covered balcony runs around the four sides of the first floor. An imposing set of stairs leads up to it, just to the right of the arch. There are a number of doors leading off the courtyard on the ground floor, and more leading off the balcony above. In the centre of the courtyard there is a garden somewhat in need of attention. The Steward shows Bayar and Ullara to a bench, informing them to wait there before leaving them to their own devices. Things a relatively quiet until Ullara decides to take seek out Herr Borne, a which point the cat is put well and truly among the pigeons. It takes some time, a fair bit of confusion and not a little annoyance before the Steward manages to rather stiffly explain that Herr Borne is not indisposed as in ill, just indisposed as in busy with important business and not to be disturbed. It is evident by his manner that if Ullara wishes to continue her hunt for Herr Borne, she will have to go through the Steward to do so. Assuming that she doesn't intend to do so, the Steward shows Bayar and Ullara back to the courtyard. Time passes. The shadows shorten and morning slides into afternoon. One of the servants appears with some food, bread and a little cheese and fruit, and water for Bayar and Ullara. The courtyard then returns to silence and the shadows begin their afternoon journey down the other side of the wall. A couple of hours later the stillness is broken by as a servant hurries down the stairs and across the courtyard, disappearing through a door at the far end. A few minutes later he returns with an older woman in tow. The two of them retrace his steps and disappear back up the stairs to the first floor balcony. A few more minutes pass before the first servant reappears, once again hurrying down the steps and across the courtyard and through the same door. Once again he reappears a few minutes later, only this time he makes a bee line for Bayar and Ullara. "Come with me," he pants, his face noticeably flushed. "If you wouldn't mind," he adds a moment later after remembering his manners. With that he turns and heads back upstairs. [/sblock] [b]Outside the residence of Herr Borne[/b] [sblock]Time passes slowly for the small group loitering outside the entrance to Herr Borne's residence. They attract some stares. Thuan's exercises attracts a few more. A few of the passers by even stop to watch for a while. Some throw coins onto his backpack.
