Message: <blockquote data-quote="Knightfall" data-source="post: 9124935" data-attributes="member: 2012">Sublime Market:Ela holds her tongue but the look on her face says that she remains skeptical.Ela again says nothing but waves Vitus towards her and Vincenzo.Breva nods to Vitus. He seems to sense the boy's potential as a healer.Vitus doesn't see Falen right away. The unseen seer makes his way to the market only after he is satisfied that he's found all of the Loyalists and mercenaries' secrets. None of the Exemplars seem concerned about Vitus' sash. He quickly comes to realize they are a very diverse bunch once all of them are gathered together again.Lord Avitus had always been kind to him. When Vitus learned the ambassador had been murdered from the praefectus, it had made him very sad. Still, he'd been doing delivers out in the valley when it happened. He didn't find out until he came back the night that Falen had arrived at the embassy.Praefectus Casca had ordered him to keep an eye on Falen while he was in Old City, yet the man had easily convinced him to go ahead to see Lady Oppia Nazaria and to let her know that Falen would be late in coming to see her. She had been very pleasant to Vitus and had insisted he stay and have dinner at her home. She even let the praefectus know that Vitus arrival and good company had been most welcome and to let Mr. Falen know that he need not rush to come see her. Initially, Vitus has no idea whether or not Falen got that message, but when he does see Falen, Vitus becomes fairly certain the praefectus did not send word.Vitus finds that Vincenco was very unlucky indeed. The Sectarian was close to unconsciousness when Vitus and Rockhorn arrived at the market on Spritewing. His prayer is answered by Tyche and the divine magic has an immediate impact on Vinny's health. The effects of the posion are purged from the man's body and Vinny's natural colour returns. his skill had been chalky white.Ela looks on, both surprised and impressed. She looks at Rockhorn and nods. "I see I owe you and the boy an apology.""Well done, young man," Breva says. "It seems I'm leaving my friends in capable hands.""Leaving?" Vincenzo asks. "Why?""War has broken out in my homeland," Breva replies. "I have been called back to Northnon Castle. Sir Silvon gave me the news when I saw him earlier this morning.""Bluffside's loss is the Maroon Knightholds gain, it seems," Ela says to the young knight. "I wish you well, Breva Sciarra.""Thank you, dear lady," Breva replies. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I must says my goodbyes to the other Exemplars and to the commander." The knight goes to find Akos, Tim, and Tuck. He keeps it short. He even manages to find Falen and thank him for helping them... and becoming one of them. Once he has made the rounds, he heads off to the Palace to speak to Commander Oakfirst and say goodbye to Custodio.The "meat" wagon arrives shortly after Breva leaves to find the Commander and gathers up the dead scattered across Candle Street. There has been no sign of the Brelish thieves or any other Loyalists. It is doubtful there are any more Rising Swords mercenaries out on the streets. They are hiding, probably underground.The morning lengthens and is it soon time for the daily afternoon meal.</blockquote>
