“Although she probably wishes she wasn’t”

"Understandable. Few dungeons are really any comfortable, whatever one she is in. Though she has a real knack for getting through locked doors." Donald smirked. The assassin had seen his fair share of dungeons, even a few times been stuck in one. Stormwind was a city that did not spend much money on the welfare of their criminals, although it was more than could be said for other cultures. Still, the man couldn't help but notice the slightly sinister tone to Liaena's rather few words on the subject of Esmeralda.

However, upon Liaena's question whether Esmeralda was his boss, Donald found himself unable to restrain himself as he let out a soft laughter at the idea. 

"My boss is a man who goes by the nickname of 'Steel Snake', though his name is Arnoff. He did not participate personally, however. Esmeralda was more of a team leader in the whole project, as Arnoff was searching for someone who could fill his role in the field. He is becoming an old man now, and this profession does not take kindly to their kind. Though she has a few skills here and there, Esmeralda was never capable of running a gang." The assassin explained with a soft smile, using his arms as he talked.
"And if you are wondering where my old tutor might be, then he is either dead or gone to ground."

Donald lowered his arms as he finished talking, but when he noticed the slightly confused furrow of Liaena's brows at his last sentence, he opened his mouth again.

"Ahhh well, the reason being that if this Sherpa fellow tried to kill me, he might be doing what we in the business like to call a 'purging'. Killing off and eliminating all hired associates and related material and evidence, making a clean slate. And that would make Arnoff one of the targets." Folding his fingers together, Donald moved his eyes away from Liaena to study the room before continuing to talk.

"It would appear that this Sherpa is not very appreciative of botched assassination attempts, [i]to put it [b]lightly[/b][/i]. If he considered us expendable before, then I don't think his attitude towards us has improved much since then...."
