post and run, my old friend

    "My  source  on  the  dragon's  egg  was  much  more  reliable  than  most  of  the  stories  I  heard  about  you,"  she  responds,  watching  the  interactions  between  the  man  and  his  wolf  with  something  akin  to  awe.  She  can  see  the  trust  between  the  two,  the  way  the  wolf  is  completely  unguarded  in  its  seeking  affection;  while  Ghost  is  entirely  at  ease  with  the  big  beast  in  his  space.  They  must  have  been  travelling  together  for  a  long  time;  she  wonders  how  many  times  they've  saved  each  other's  lives.  Then:  "Wait,  you  called  him  Soap?"  she  squints  her  eyes  at  him.

      "Humans,"  she  answers,  before  stopping  to  correct  herself:  "Well,  people.  Can't  say  for  sure  they're  human  at  all.  Some  of  them  might  be  undead  too,  if  that  is  of  any  interest  to  you.  There's  no  telling  who  or  what  we  might  walk  into.  Hence  why  I  need  the  back-up."

    It  doesn't  escape  her  notice  that  Ghost  just...  accepts  her  at  her  word.  Doesn't  question  the  existence  of  a  dragon  egg  worth  stealing  or  laugh  in  her  face  or  even  call  her  suicidal  or  anything  that  most  anyone  else  would.  Her  eyes  narrow  a  little  as  she  appraises  him  and  when  she  straightens  up,  it's  obvious  that  her  guard  is  raising.

      She  twirls  something  absently  through  her  fingers,  a  gold  coin  by  the  looks  of  it.  "The  man  we're  stealing  it  from,  he  is  human,  however.  So  far  I've  never  been  able  to  kill  him.  Maybe  this  time  will  be  different  but  the  job  is  to  steal  the  egg  and  get  it  out  of  his  hands.  You  might  have  heard  of  him,"  she  glances  towards  the  towering  beast  of  a  wolf  this  man  calls  a  pet  and  it's  not  a  subtle  glance.  "He  calls  himself  a  collector,  likes  to  collect  rare  and  unique  items.  A  dragon  egg  is  one  of  them.  But  his  collection  is  vast  and,  well,  some  of  it  is  very  much  living."  Let's  just  say  it's  not  the  first  time  she's  stolen  from  this  man.

   soap's  the  first  to  react  hearing  about  himself  -  a  soft  noise  akin  to  a  'burf'  escapes  and  a  slow  wag  follows,  ears  flicking  as  if proud.  ghost  gives  a  light  flick  to  one  of  his  ears,  gaining  a  huff  from  the  wolf,  before  he  lifts  his  head  to  nudge  at  ghost's  hand  for  attention.  "suck  up."  ghost  mutters  it,  but  obliges  the  wolf's  desire  to  be  pet,  gently  running  fingers  through  soft  fur  as  soap  closes  his  eyes,  wagging  his  tail  idly. 

   he  listens  over  to  the  job,  and  when  she  finishes,  he  lets  out  a  scoff.  "willin'  t'  believe  a  dragon  egg's  ou'  there,  bu'  doubtin'  stories  'bout  soap  'ere?"  at  the  mention  of  his  name,  soap's  eyes  open  and  he  looks  to  ghost,  then  to  the  woman,  blinking  slowly,  before  closing  his  eyes  again  as  he's  continually  pet.  not  his  problem. 

   "you  say  guarded."  ghost  begins,  thinking  it  over  slowly.  "am  i  t'  take  int'  consideration  you  wan'  me  t'  slay  dragons?  or  is  this  guarded  by  humans?"  better  to  know  now  than  in  the  midst  of  it,  at  least.

[ofauroradreams]

    She  appreciates  his  immediate  understanding  for  some  discretion  in  the  matter;  although  no  doubt  he's  more  interested  in  the  money  being  offered.   Still,  taverns  can  be  dangerous  places  to  discuss  things:  you  never  know  who  might  be  listening.

      Liana  follows  the  man  with  ease;  either  incredibly  trusting  of  a  stranger  she's  just  met,  or  secure  in  the  possibility  of  defending  herself  should  the  need  arise.   But  either  way,  she  follows  him  through  the  town  to  the  edge  and  beyond  into  his  camp.   She's  not  startled  per  se  at  the  sight  of  the  giant  wolf  but  she  does  glance  cautiously  between  the  merc  and  his...  pet.   "You  know,  I'd  heard  the  stories  about  your  wolf,"  she  comments,  folding  her  arms  across  her  chest.   "Didn't  actually  think  they  were  real."

    "Anyway,  about  the  job...  I  don't  need  a  thief,"  she  continues  mildly,  once  she's  settled  across  the  firepit  from  the  Ghost.   "I  need  someone  to  keep  the  guards  off  my  back  while  I  do  the  thieving.   Because  this  thing  is  very  heavily  guarded  and  it  won't  come  easy.   No  doubt  you'll  have  to  get  your  hands  dirty  but  I  hear  that's  what  you're  good  at."   She  glances  around,  as  if  expecting  someone  or  thing  to  be  eavesdropping  from  the  trees.   "I'm  going  after  a  dragon's  egg."

      It  sounds  like  a  joke.   Dragon  eggs  are  nigh  impossible  to  get  ahold  of,  with  so  few  of  them  in  existence  at  the  one  time;  and  the  parents  are  highly  protective  of  any  younglings.   Liana  thinks  the  one  she's  found  might  be  the  only  egg  of  the  next  generation;  but  that's  what  makes  it  so  important  after  all.   Not  to  mention  that  her  information  suggests  it  could  be  a  storm  dragon's  egg.   That's  not  something  to  be  ignored  by  any  means.

   ten  thousand.  hefty  amount,  really.  though thieving  isn't  his  job  description.  perhaps  he  can  accomodate.  his  johnny  might  have  his  head  if  he  hears  simon  turned  down  a  job  like  this.  he  sets  his  mug  back  on  the  table,  sparing  a  glance  the  womans  way.  she  seems  serious  about  it.  half  up  front,  five  thousand.  if  it  goes  wrong,  he's  still  taking  a  good  chunk  away  with  him.  low  risk,  high  reward.  not  usually  his  gamble. 

   "hefty  price  fer  wan'in  a thief."  he  remarks  idly,  before  opting  to  drain  his  mug  and  appear  to  consider  the  offer.  "guessin'  yer  no'  gonna  elaborate  in  a  tavern  on  th'  job."  he  lets  out  a  mild  annoyed  grunt,  standing  himself  up.  "you  wan'  me  t'  take  you  up  on  i',  follow  me  ou'."  he  goes  to  the  taverns  keep,  pulling  the  coin  for  his  tab  he  racked  up,  putting  it  down,  making  sure  the  keep  takes  the  gold  before  he  walks  out  into  the  night. 

   the  air  is  fresh  and  crisp,  and  it  takes  the  bite  right  off�� from  the  alcohol  he'd  been  drinking.  fucking  elf  physiology.  made  doing  almost  anything  humans  enjoyed  as  vices  boring.  took  too  long  to  get  anywhere.  maybe  he  just  enjoyed  the  bitter  burn  at  this  point.  hell  if  he  knows.  he  reaffixes  his  mask  properly  over  his  face  and  takes  the  long  walk  back  to  his  camp  just  outside  of  the  town.  it's  secluded,  and  not  many  have  bothered  to  come  across  it.  it's  almost  medieval  in  setup  -  warding  off  many  as  it's  intended  to.  most  of  his  things  are handmade  and  incorperate bones. 

   as  he  approaches  his  camp,  a large  wolf  perks  up.  a  maned  wolf,  quite  oversized  for  his  kind.  if  one  believed  in  the  stories  of dire  wolves,  they  might  compare  this  wolf  to  those.  but  those  are  myth  or  extinct  these  days.  it's  easier  to  think  this  wolf  a  freak  of  nature  -  much  like  the  ghost  himself  would  be  if  he  were human  beneath  the  garb  -  standing  an  intimidating  seven  foot  with  hulking  muscle  mass  to  go  with  it.  he  pulls  up  to  his  firepit,  stoking  up  a  fire,  before  sitting  down  and  waiting  for  his  newfound  employer  to  choose  to  sit  across  from  him  as  soap  pads  over,  laying  beside  ghost,  putting  his  head  in  ghost's  lap  with  a  contented  sigh.

      They'd  said  this  man  was  the  best  of  the  best  when  it  came  to  sell  swords;  and  getting  her  eyes  on  him  now,  she's  beginning  to  understand  why.   He  has  a  very  off-putting  aura  about  him;  not  one  that  Liana  finds  herself  put  off  of,  really,  but  she  can  see  why  most  everyone  else  in  this  place  is  giving  him  a  wide  berth.   But  that  only  really  helps  his  case:  she  needs  someone  she  can  trust  to  not  go  around,  giving  everything  away.

          "I  need  your  help  to  steal  something,"  she  says,  keeping  the  information  vague  enough.   This  is  a  delicate  subject  and  she  hates  to  have  to  pay  for  loyalty;  but  there's  no  one  else  she  can  reliably  trust  at  the  moment.   "There's  ten  thousand  gold  in  it  for  you.   Half  now  and  the  rest  when  the  job  is  done.   And  I'll  pay  for  any  supplies  you  need,  and  necessary  accommodations."   She's  not  adverse  to  throwing  more  gold  his  way  if  it  earns  her  his  loyalty  long  enough  to  get  the  prize.

   "you  lookin'  t'  'ire  or  wot?"  the  ghost  is  crass  as  he  speaks,  setting  the  mug  down  on  the  tavern  table.  his  brown  eyes  don't  quite  strike  as human  or natural  -  but  with  the  way  he's  covered,  it's  hard  to  assume  any  different.  the  most  offputting  part  to  the  mercenary  is  the  skull  stitched  onto  the  fabric  used  as  a  full  head  mask  covering  his  face  -  only  accented  by  the  hood  of  the  traveling  cloak  he's  got  on.  black,  head  to  toe,  aside  from  the  alabaster  of  the  skull. 

   "be'er  no'  be  escor'in.  ge'in'  real  sick  a  doin'  tha'  shite."  a  roll  of  his  eyes.  "mos'  sell  swords  work  bes'  on  jobs  tha'  require  killin'  targets."  a  roll  of  his  eyes.  "if  you're  no'  offerin'  a  job,  scram.  ain't  th'  cha'in  type."  with  that  the  burly  mercenary  pulls  the  mug  back  to  his  uncovered  lips  to  take  a  sip.  he's  scarred  to  hell  and  back  -  it's  clear  from  what  little  skin  he  shows  in  the  moment  to  drink.  though  there  is  a  mild  ethereal  quality  to  his  palor  -  it  doesn't  give  too  much  away  -  one  can  easily  assume  he  just  doesn't  see sun  under  all  that  garb.

why does my theme keep removing the banners from my posts? like they're still in the post, just not when you view them on the theme???

[ofauroradreams]

          If  anything,  the  woman's  words  only  make  Liana  more  curious  about  the  place.   She  isn't  really  sure  what  to  make  of  these  woods  just  yet,  but  the  shadows  are  more  enticing  than  creeping  in  her  opinion.   And  she's  got  just  enough  darkness  within  her  to  keep  her  safe  from  most  any  monsters.   She's  never  met  anything  scarier  than  her  own  monster,  anyway.

      "Neither  did  I,"  she  responds  just  as  lightly,  her  fingers  itching  where  they  hang  listlessly  at  her  side.   "Life  gets  a  little  boring  if  you  only  stay  within  the  lines."

           Her  eyes  flick  to  the  woman's  mismatched  ones,  a  little  spark  of  excitement  in  her  eyes.   "People  go  missing  around  her  a  lot  then?"  she  asks,  as  if  she  doesn't  already  know  the  answer.   Too  many  newspaper  articles  and  the  local  townspeople  avoid  the  woods  like  the  plague,  with  hushed  voices  and  panicked  glances.   Liana  had  learned  quickly  not  to  speak  of  the  dreaded  woods;  so  instead  she's  come  to  find  out  for  herself.   "Can't  be  that  scary  if  you  live  here."

   there  is  a  moment  quile  takes  to  consider  the  response,  furrowing  her  brow.  why  are  people  so  adamant?  she  stands,  close  to  where  she's  ushered  yet  another  curious  creature  too  far  from  the  safety  of  the  woods  that  line  the  small  town.  she  frowns,  shaking  her  head.  no;  that  won't  do. 

   "i  did  not  state  that  lightly."  she  speaks,  though  her  tone  remains  gentle.  she  steps  forward,  mismatched  irises  locked  onto  the  other  woman.  she  brushes  some  of  her  teal  dyed  hair  away  from  her  face  and  lets  out  a  soft  exhale. 

   "are  you  new  here?  i  can  take  you  some  place  to  rest  for  the  night.  there  are  reasons  we  have  few  visitors.  reasons  more  why  some  come  here  and  don't  come  back."  reasons  she  knows  personally.  reasons  she  takes  care  of  personally.  reasons  that  she  is  not  going  to  delve  into.  it's  better  to  keep  those  worlds  separated.  as  much  as  possible.
