Kilith held up his hand as the Bosmer stood from his chair, signaling for him to hold up. "Nowhere to lead you to yet. The meeting is taking place at dusk, east of the city along the coast. The woman you are looking for is Sharee-Mar, a green-scaled Argonian with orange feathers and a lot of attitude. Just be there around nightfall, you'll get to meet her and the rest of the crew. As far as respect and all that, well, let's just say that it doesn't matter that you are young, Sharee will probably treat you and the rest of the crew with an equal lack of respect. In this case, though, she's more than making up for it with the pay grade. Now, I'm going back to my drink; if you have any questions, now's the time."

"...Eh, I wouldn't worry about it. You don't need to worry about appeasing the Imperials' sense of modesty. Besides, you're meant to be making a distraction; maybe it will help you to grab their attention." Sharee said and for a moment Allaina took her seriously and set her mind to thinking of ways to use her body as a distraction. Her thought stream was however interrupted as Sharee continued. "...before you go do that, I'd like to speak to you alone for a moment, Allaina. You two can wait for her downstairs."

Something about the mention of Allaina's exposed butt had made Tagorn whistle and Allaina caught him winking at her before blushing, realising he had been looking at her butt. Whilst embarrassed Allaina was surprised to find she actually quite enjoyed this kind of attention. She waited for Tagorn and Kayal to leave before turning her attention back to Sharee.

Tayvan pushed his chair in, he eyed the wine bottle. He kinda wanted more, but he needed to stay sober. He made hiscway to the door, eager to hunt.

"Okay then, ill be there. But first I have some matters to attend to."

The young bosmer walked, quickly making his way out of town and it to the neighbouring woods. It had been awhile he had hunted. Tayvan almost went into a frenzy at the tavern. He felt the urge to shift come upon him, he didnt fight it, he preferred this form.

The hair stood the back of Tayvans neck, his body began to grow, and his hands turned paw like. At the peak of his shift, he let out a large howl, loud enough for the city to hear if they were relatively quiet.

Tayvan sniffed the air, he smelt food. Tayvan dashed into the woods, the lone bandit didn't expect such a large beast. Tayvan pounced on the bandit, the bandit then let out a scream. Byt he was soon silenced from his thoat being ripped out. The life had fled from the bandit, as Tayvan began to eat his body leaving nothing but scraps and skull.

Tayvan let another howl, louder than the last, the blood dripped from his mouth and staining his fur. He felt good, the sheer power he had felt great. His thirst was quenched. Tayvan shifted back. He waited in woods till dusk, then began to make his way back town.

Sharee chuckled quietly to herself as Tagorn and Kayal left the room. Tagorn had been making his interest in Allaina abundantly clear ever since he first saw her, which could be a good or bad thing, depending on how things went. If Allaina was receptive, then everything would be fine. If she wasn't, and Tagorn didn't let up, then it would mean Sharee would have to deal with him herself, as she did not want anyone harassing the Bosmer girl.

"Hmm, Tagorn seems to have taken a liking to you. He's attractive for a Bosmer, I suppose, maybe you should give it a shot? You might end up enjoying yourself. Otherwise, just tell me if he won't leave you alone and I'll handle it." Sharee commented. She finished crushing up the flowers she would need for the potion to change her eye color, so she stood up and walked over to her wardrobe while she waited for the water to heat up. She had a lot of average sets of clothes for different purposes, but in the far back was a finely embroidered violet dress, typical of what one would expect from nobility. She had stolen it off of a target a while back and had been using it ever since, though she had dyed it different colors a few times. She found the matching shoes, then laid the dress out on her bed before it was time to get back to her potion.

"Anyway, there is something I need to tell you. One of the reasons I want you to help with this distraction is because I don't yet trust those two fully. Along with making a distraction, I want you to keep an eye on them, make sure they don't do anything that could sabotage this, or otherwise betray me. Particularly watch out for Tagorn and make sure he he doesn't stash any of Sarel's things for himself. If he does, don't confront him, just tell me. You're the only one I really trust on this, so I'm counting on you." Sharee said encouragingly, knowing such words would cast her in a positive light in Allaina's mind. "Now, as far as the distraction goes, do you have anything in mind? I'd like you to listen to Tagorn and Kayal's plan, of course, but I don't want to rely on them completely. I can give you a description of the area if you need it."

Allaina watched Sharee set up her disguise with a growing sense of respect as the Argonian went through the various processes with great care and precision. The dress particularly caught Allaina's attention and it was as the fine garment was placed on the bed Allaina decided she was going to have to steal herself some better clothes from somewhere. Nonetheless if she could have Allaina would have watched the entire process from simple curiosity but she knew time was of the essence and so replied the moment Sharee was done talking.

"Ohhh... Um... Tagorn seems a bit overbearing for my tastes." Allaina stated before hesitating, in her easy to influence state the mere mention Tagorn was attractive (for a bosmer) had changed her perception of him and she could see now how someone could grow to like him. "Maybe though!" Allaina added quickly as though to override her previous comment. "He's handsome enough." She finished clumsily before moving onto another topic.

Allaina was immensely proud that Sharee trusted her with the clearly important task of ascertaining the other two's trustworthiness. "I'll keep an eye on them." She said confidently. "I have no plan as of yet... A location description might help with the planning."

Sharee continued to work on her potion as she began her explanation. "The prison is pretty new, built only within the past few years. It is located on the south side of town, near the castle. Actually, it is connected to the castle, but the entrance to the lobby, or at least one of them, is facing the town. There is a street that goes right by that door, so people walking by it is commonplace. If my memory serves me correctly, then the houses across the street are large, with at least two stories each and narrow alleys running between them. All-in-all, you should have no trouble justifying being there, you just need to figure out what to do."

By the time Sharee finished her explanation, she had also finished her potion, which she poured into a small vial. It was only a few drops of the liquid, but that was all she needed. She looked straight up at the ceiling, carefully held the vial over her eye, then let a single drop fall onto its surface. After blinking a few times, her formerly orange eye now matched the red color of the other one. Wasting no time, she quickly began on the setup for the next potion, which would return her eye color to normal. The potion she had used would not last too long, but even so, she wanted to get back to her normal appearance as quickly as possible after breaking out the Dunmer.

Sharee replaced the water needed for the next one, then walked back over to her bed as she waited for it to heat up. She quickly removed her vest and trousers, then found a set of underwear that would help keep the "posture" of her chest correct. One of the many annoying things about nobles was how detail oriented they were about appearances, especially in Cyrodiil. They were terribly naive when it came to how the world really worked, but if anyone messed up a slight detail about their appearance, or acted with slightly wrong manners, they would notice immediately. Sharee put on the dress as best as she could, then looked over to Allaina. "Hey, could you help me with this for a second?" She asked. Why they ever decided to make a dress with straps and buttons in the back than one could never possibly reach alone was beyond her.

After Sharee dismissed Kayal he finished his meal seconds later and excused himself before he returned to his room to find Zana who was still hungover munching on some bread while laying in bed the room was oddly dark given the time of day but Kayal quickly noticed the blanket draped over the window blocking out the sunlight. "How you feeling?" Kayal asked as he stepped in. "Like I got into a fist fight with an Orc and lost." She responded before taking another bite from the bread. "I see you did some redecorating." Kayal said as he gestured to the window before walking to his gear getting the rest of it on. "Meh I like it better this way, besides not like you have done anything productive." She retorted. "Actually, I have, I got us a new job, one that should pay better then petty robbery and mercenary work. Something I have been hoping to get into for a while now." Kayal said with a smirk as he leaned on the end of the bed. "Hmm? whats that?" Zana asked seeming more interested. "We shall be delving into piracy." Kayal said in a more hushed tone.

As he did Zana sat up in the bed much more interested. "And how do we plan to do this?" Zana asked. Kayal then went about explaining the details of their new job she seemed more and more interested as he went on, she shared his opinion on having to steal themselves a boat and his lack of faith of what the state and skill of this crew would be. "Sounds, interesting enough to me, guess we will have to see how this crew comes together, this Tagorn fellow sounds like he has more then enough faith in his abilities." Zana said Kayal chuckled and nodded, "Yes he does." Kayal responded not sounding very pleased. "Anyway I have a few people I have to go speak to about the town, I shan't be long, you try to sober up and get dressed." Kayal said as he moved to the door now wearing all of his gear. "Hey you think I want to keep this headache?" Zana responded as Kayal stepped out.

Kayal returned to the inn a few hours later and ordered himself some water, as he did he noticed Tagorn sitting at a table nearby enjoying a jagga, he played with the idea of speaking with him but was cut short by Sharee approaching and getting their attention. He grabbed his water and turned to Sharee and Allaina nodding in greeting to the young Bosmer. As Tagorn came up he introduced himself to Allaina and then Sharee began to explain another plan, Kayal listened with interest as she explained her plans for a prison break. Kayal smiled as she finished, "Me and my friend Zana will happily be apart of this idea of yours." He said mostly ignoring Tagorn.

As they arrived at Sharee's room and she went about explaining her plan in greater detail Kayal listened with interest, it was a decent plan but risky as most prison breaks were. "Its a good plan, but it will have to be a good enough distraction that could hold the attention of the guards for a good amount of time. I can think of a few things that may work." He said as he thought on a few ideas. He knew Zana was more then capable enough of sneaking in and stealing the gear but he was not willing to separate himself from her should they be betrayed by either Sharee or Tagorn. He didn't trust either of them in the slightest and wasn't willing to see him or Zana in prison so he preferred to stick with the safest option. And unsurprising to Kayal Tagorn signed up for the stealing the equipment.

What more so had Kayal's attention was Allaina who wished to be apart of the distraction his eyes rested on her for a time, he was interested to see her skill set she had said she could fight before but to what extent he did not know, if they played their cards right they would not need to kill or fight anyone but it was always safe to have a back up plan. It wasn't until Tagorn spoke up that Kayal realized he was still looking at Allaina, his gaze quickly snapped to Tagorn, "I am sure she is stronger then you think she is." Kayal responded with a hint of malice. Once Sharee spoke up Kayal looked toward her, "Nothing is going to harm her, I would sooner see myself harmed. And I refer to my previous statement." kayal said his tone much more serious then usual. He was not sure why he had so much faith in Allaina but all he did know was he did have faith in her.

"I have a few ideas that come to mind but they need more planning before they could truly be effective but a few hours should be enough." Kayal responded as Sharee as she addressed his and Allaina's distraction. "Me and Zana have had experience in this area before so this should go smoothly." He said faithfully. Kayal watched as Sharee worked on creating her dyes, he had never tried his hands in anything of the like and it was rather interesting to watch. It was then that Allaina spoke up, Kayal eyes shifted to her as she mentioned his coat and began to remove it getting half way through the process befor stopping and blushing as she seemed to remember the tail-hole in the back of the pants.

Kayal heard Tagorn whistle in amazement and make a comment, Kayal only sparred a moment to glance at the pale-bosmer before looking back to Allaina. He stepped forward and pulling the coat more onto her covering the tail-hole again. "You keep it for now." He said kindly, smiling faintly. "A woman like yourself should not be going about exposed in such away, some men don't know how to control themselves." He said, his eyes drifting to Tagorn toward the end of his statement. He held this gaze for a moment before taking a step back from Allaina and looking to her again, "Talk to me before we start this mission we can get you decent set of clothing to wear." Kayal said kindly ignoring what Sharee had said against getting her new clothes.

As he finished he looked to Sharee and nodded respectfully, "As you wish." He said as Tagorn walked up and patted his back and spoke. Kayal smiled and nodded, "Yes, it should." He responded as he turned to the door and stepping out behind Tagorn, he closed the door and began to make his way to the stairs behind Tagorn until he saw the door to his room open and Zana step out wearing her all her gear.

"Zana perfect timing." Kayal said as he walking up to her. She had just finished shutting the door when he spoke up and approached. "Oh Kayal there you are, I guess I won't need to track you down then." She joked. "No, I was just speaking with Sharee about a plan to break one of our prospective crew members out of prison." He said leaning toward her and speaking in a hushed whisper. "Oh lovely a prison break as well." Zana mumbled. "Well whats the plan to get him out?" She asked. "Me, you and Allaina, the Bosmer from last night are to create a distraction while, Sharee gets this crew member out and our friend Tagorn" He said gesturing to Tagorn as he neared the stairs, "gets this crew members gear." He said the last part loud enough for Tagorn to hear. Zana leaned in by Kayal and whispered, "So he is Tagorn?", Kayal just nodded in response.

Allaina listened carefully to what Sharee told her, making mental notes of all the details in her head as she was told them. Once Sharee was done explaining Allaina nodded acknowledgment once again before at last taking a seat on the edge of the bed. All the while she had been closely watching Sharee's actions, intrigued. She didn't stop watching even as Sharee began to strip, totally oblivious to the conventions of privacy regarding these matters in spite of her own embarrassment minutes before.

With a simple change of eye colour, some corsetry and a dress Sharee looked almost a totally different lizard to the Bosmer girls untrained eyes and she hadn't even changed scale colours yet. When Sharee asked Allaina to help her dress the bosmer girl shot to her feet, thrilled to handle such an exquisite garment and eager to help Sharee in any way she could. Allaina was perhaps a little over-enthusiastic in her tightening of the straps at the back as a consequence of her excitement,

A crocked smirk was plastered on Tagorn's face as Kayal followed after him as he exited Sharee's room, a smirk that only grew as his Breton "comrade" met up with another female Bosmer. As he headed down the stairs the wood elf could hear every word of the conversation going on between Kayal and Zana as though he was standing right next to him, in all honesty if he pressed himself he could probably make out a good amount of the details of Sharee and Allaina's conversation as well. His wicked grin found it's way back to his face when he over heard Zana whisper to her Breton counterpart about his name. Well how about we make a good first impression? He thought to himself before he turned around at the foot of the staircase to look at the duo. "Aye, I am Tagorn lass and if we are to be sailing together you should get comfortable with asking me directly my little Riel." He said with a smirk and a wink to his kinsman.

Zana was abut to speak again when she heard Tagorn speak up from behind them, as he finished she gave a confused look to Kayal, How did he hear me? I whispered that? I couldn't possibly have been loud enough for him to hear? She thought. Kayal did not meet her gaze instead he looked back to Tagorn with a plain expression. Zana turned around to face Tagorn and looked the Bosmer over, as Kayal had told her before he was very pale, maybe he spent a lot of time inside? Kayal hadn't shared any of his speculations on why, it mostly just seemed like Kayal didn't care why he was so pale. "So you are. My apologies Tagorn, you see, I haven't had the pleasure of making your acquaintance. I met both Sharee and Allaina last night so I can recognize them easily but, everything I know about you has been relayed to me from my friend here, so I wanted to check with him before I asked your name just to avoid one of those awkward conversations where you mistake someone for someone else, I am sure you understand, first impressions are important and mistaking someone for someone else usually isn't a good first impression. Anyway, I am sure Kayal has told you but my name is Zana and may I just say impressive hearing my friend." She said in a friendly tone.

"Maybe if someone hadn't drunken so much last night she could have met you in the first place." Kayal said in a playful tone giving Zana a light push on the shoulder before stepping past her and moving toward Tagorn. Zana smiled and rolled her eyes as Kayal gave her a light shove. "Well normally I am not the only one drinking that much, you usually join me and then it makes things much more fun." Zana responded in the same manor before following after him. "Aye, but if I had then we wouldn't be some of the first members to speak with Sharee about joining her job." Kayal said as they reached the stairs. "So Tagorn, what were you saying about that bonding? We might as well try it as we plan things out." He said as he neared Tagorn. As Kayal spoke he maintained a friendly tone the entire time.

"Thanks." Sharee said, coughing slightly due to the dress being tightened around her. She didn't remember it being this tight the last time she wore it, though that had been a year or so. She hated the feeling of wearing the thing, though she supposed it did make her look nice, and the daggers strapped to her thighs underneath were good insurance in case something went wrong. Once she was fully dressed, she went back over to her alchemy set and started to finish up the reversing agent for the eye color potion.

"Anyway, just make sure you have a backup plan in case things go wrong. A girl like you could attract a lot of attention if you act all innocent and helpless; scream for help and all that.Just play it smart. I don't want there to be any fighting in this prison break; I want it done clean. Also, if you could do me a favor, before you head over to the meeting place after I get Sarel out of there, could you come back here and get my stuff? I'd like to have my regular clothes, my cutlass, and my bag of alchemy supplies, as I don't plan on coming back here before introducing myself to the crew and letting them all in on the plan." Sharee requested. While the mixture was being heated, she started work on the actual, non-alchemy based dyes. They were not too difficult to make, but they took a lot of time to apply properly for a convincing disguise.

"I'm afraid you are mistaken, this is the first time I've ever been blessed with the information of your presence." Tagorn said with a sly smile to Zana before looking back to Kayal. The Bosmer allowed the duo to have their little lovers spat before he continued past them, beckoning for them to follow with a single finger. He lead them to a table in the corner of the inn and took a seat, leaning back with his feet on the table, he waited for the two to sit before he spoke again. "There is no better way to get too know someone than to know how they can handle their drink." With that he waved his hand to get the attention of the barmaid, who came over sporting a slight smile. "Oh there is my beauty from Hammerfell, could you do me a favorer and get me and my friends here the strongest ale you have in the house?" She simple nodded, a blush growing on her face, but before she could leave Tagorn's hand found it's way to her rear. "And don't think I forgot about that drink you promised me." He said with a wink. The blush on the woman's face darkened a good two shades before she went to fetch the groups drinks. With a crocked smile Tagorn turned his attention back to the duo. "Well the way I see it we need something that could hold the minds of the guards, as small as they may be, so make it interesting." He said with a smirk. "A drunken fight between a cheating husband and his wife." He nodded at the two sitting across from him. "And need be we can draw it out further by having his mistress show up and throw a few blows." As he finished the barmaid returned with the drinks.

Kayal had to stop himself from raising a questioning eyebrow to Tagorn when he spoke, instead he just shifted his gaze to Zana. As Tagorn spoke Zana listened politely and only responded with a "hmm". As Tagorn walked passed she took the chance to look to Kayal who shook his head, Zana replied with a understanding nod before the two followed after Tagorn. This time in silence neither of them wanting their private conversations being picked up on by this strange Bosmer. [Just ignore him Kayal, he is going to be a future crew member you could at least try to play nice, he may be egotistical but ignorance is bliss.[/I] Kayal thought to himself. As they sat, Tagorn spoke up, Kayal smiled as he finished, "That is definitely something I can agree with." He said happily. While Kayal was happy to finaly indulge himself in a actual drink Zana was quiet the opposite, "Alcohol? No way no thanks, just give mine to Kayal here, I am still getting over last night." She said chuckling slightly. Kayal shrugged, "The more the merrier." He replied with a smile.

As the barmaid approached and Tagorn went through his wooing of the barmaid Kayal and Zana chuckled towards each other not out of malice but of entertainment. "You sure its wise for you guys to drink when we have a mission today?" Zana asked cautiously. Kayal shrugged "I am sure both me and Tagorn here are competent enough to handle our alcohol and get the job done." Kayal said confidently. It was after the bar maid left that Tagorn went about explaining a bit of his plan. Once he was done the barmaid returned with their drink, Kayal took his and Zana's though he had little intention to actually drink hers he did plan on repaying Tagorn for it. "I'm not so sure about that plan, maybe one or two of the guards will come over, the rest might watch for a bit, but it will easily be broken up, it wont be nearly long enough. I have a few ideas, but it would be best to talk about them when Allaina arrives seeing as she will be right there along side me and Zana." Kayal said before taking a sip of the ale, as Tagorn had requested it was strong but Kayal had drunken it before. "I don't want to do anything that could expose Allaina or Zana, if we were distracting a few mercenaries guarding a door then I might think about it and then it might have a better chance of working, but these are city guards, granted some of them are are worthless blaggards who are no better then common criminals but you will get the occasional patriot or devotee who would even ignore a pair of fine lasses like them." Kayal said, Zana rolled her eyes as he did, "So that wouldn't be the wisest choice. I am thinking something more rowdy, larger, something that would get a lot of attention and keep them preoccupied for a long time." Kayal said before he paused to take a swig from his mug and to think for a time.

Allaina smiled at Sharees thanks as she finished the tightening of the dress before stopping and laughing. Sharee looked totally different in this elegant dress. Dainty and fragile by comparison to her usually rather intimidating appearance. The stark contrast amused Allaina in an almost childish fashion and she found she had trouble keeping a straight face through the next request. Nonetheless Allaina absorbed the information like a sponge and acknowledged it saying; "Sure Sharee. Play it smart. A clean distraction with no fighting then fetch your stuff and bring it to the meeting point." Allaina repeated. Allaina was pretty sure she could go now but didn't want to leave without having been dismissed.

Tagorn gave a slight smirk as his fellow Bosmer expressed her concern about enjoying a drink before having to put on their little act. "Oh don't worry lass it takes quite a lot to drink this Wood elf under the table." He said with a chuckle before taking a swig of his ale. Tagorn simply gave a nod and a shrug when his plane for a distraction. "I can see your point mate, I've known a few guards who prefer the sword over the shield if you understand my meaning, so a pair young Valenwood beauties would be little distraction, no matter how fair." He said with another smirk. He swigged his ale again as he went through the ideas of distractions, though most of them ended with a murder. "So some civil disobedience? Spark a little fire in a crowd and get them to turn on to the guards?" He thought aloud to the two. He took another swig of his ale and finished it off looking no worse for were, to be truthful he could of downed another five mugs and still be sober as a priest of Julianos. "But whatever you do make it good, I don't need a arrow in the rump as I'm climbing that wall. And trust me it isn't a experience I want to relive."" He said with a smirk.

It wasn't long before Sharee had finished the work on making the dyes, but now she needed to apply them, a process that took a lot of time and care. Dying her feathers would be easy enough, but for her scales, she needed to alter the patters of light and dark in a believable fashion. They would remain green as usual, but she would be completely changing the variations in shading on her face. It was subtle, but could make a lot of difference. "Alright, you should go downstairs and meet up with them now. Just try to keep in mind something you could do if those two betray me, because I still need a distraction. If not, I'll get thrown in prison just like Sarel." Sharee said as she started to apply the red dye to her feathers.

Allaina left Sharee's room in silence. She was suddenly aware how much was resting on her shoulders and had tensed right up, the laughter of moments before gone and little more than a memory. If this went wrong one of the only two people she knew and trusted above all others would go to prison and she could be left all alone to fend for herself. This had to go right.

Allaina headed downstairs slowly as she mulled over the plans for and considered the details of the mission she had been assigned to complete. She didn't think Kayal would betray her or, at the the very least, she hoped he wouldn't but she didn't know what to think of Tagorn. She had only known the Bosmer for a day and she felt somehow there were many facets of him that remained unknown to her, hidden away in the unseen archives of his life. Allaina moved onto other details of the plan. How were they going to distract the guards? What would she do in the event the others did betray her? How could she be sure Tagorn had stolen nothing for himself? By the time Allaina reached the bottom of the stairs and had entered the bar she was in a trancelike state. She was awoken only by a female kajit who pressed by as she passed through the doorway in. Allaina snapped alert and looked around for her comrades.

When Allaina eventually found her comrades over at the bar she was surprised to see Zana alongside them. It was a pleasant surprise for Allaina but a complication. Allaina wasn't sure Sharee had cleared Zana to participate in this mission. Allaina trusted Kayal though and if he trusted Zana she was willing to overlook this, albeit a little worried as to whether she had made a mistake.

"Hello." Allaina said simply as she approached the others.

Kayal finished off his drink as Tagorn spoke, in honesty he was glad that the Bosmer had been in agreement that there were better ideas to be made then the first one. The group sat in silence for a time. Zana seemed to be zoned out he hand was tracing around the wristband she wore. It had been a gift to her from Kayal many moons ago, they were traveling together through Valenwood for a month or two and were soon to leave the woodland region and move north back into Imperial territory, traveling through the region had spurred some hard emotions for Zana. She had been born in Valenwood but some complications forced her family onto the road, the details of these complications were unbeknownst to Kayal and perhaps even to Zana but he did not dare accuse her of such, it was better to leave things as they were. Towards the end of their journey she had grown rather depressed, when she was captured her father lost his life trying to defend her and her mother was sold off to another wealthy man willing to deal in the monstrous affairs of slavery. She had been sold to a wealthy man in Morrowind and fate saw her to Kayal's families mock cargo ship.

Little to say the journey renewed old emotions in Zana and brought back a dark depression. So Kayal unwilling to see her in her gloomy state set out to find something to help, this help came in the form of the wooden bracelet with copper hinges. All across the bracelet intricate Bosmer designs ran beautifully across the wood, in the center on the top of the bracelet in her native language read the inscription, "Remember your roots and hope for the future." Kayal had it costume made for her by a jeweler or something of the like in the town they were staying in. It cost a pretty penny but he did not mind. The next day he gifted it to her, immediately after she began to sob Kayal, worried he had done something wrong tried to sooth her but she told them they were not tears of sorrow, but of joy. The next day they set back out Zana's spirits renewed by the gift. To this day Kayal was never sure if it was truly the gift that renewed her spirits or if it was instead just the act that he cared so much to do so, just an act to show that she wasn't entirely alone in this dark cruel world. In honesty it is a question Kayal need not ask.

Kayal's eyes drifted back up towards Tagorn as he spoke again, talking of civil disobedience, something much more alike to what kayal was thinking. "I was thinking something of that type. If it is large enough then it should gather a wealth of attention from the guards and keep us out of the line of danger, more or less." He said adding the last part a second later. "And no worries mate, I wont see one of my future crew members put out of action so early. We will keep their attention." He respond to Tagorn with a slight smile at the Bosmer's comment. It wasn't a few seconds later when Kayal heard a familiar voice speak up, Kayal turned to see Allaina approach, "Ah, hello Allaina, nice of you to join us. I take it you and Sharee finished your talk?" Kayal said in his usual friendly tone.

Tagorn smirked as Kayal assured the safety of his rear for another day, though he already doubted even if a guard managed to spot him that they'd be able to catch him. He was about to order himself another drink when a familiar voice met his ears. With a sly smile forming on his Tagorn turned his gaze over to Allaina. "There is our tattooed Riel, I trust your meeting with our gracious captain went well." He smirked out as he greeted the young Bosmer. "It just occurred to me that most of the crew I met so far are my kinsmen. Ha! I've never saw so many Tree Sap People in one place since my last trip to the homeland." He said with a grin. He then moved his gaze over to Zana, who was fiddling with some sort of bracelet. "Something wrong with you lass? Not getting the call of the woods are ya? I can't have a kinsmen going native, it embarrasses us all." He asked with a slight chuckle.

Zana had allowed her mind to wander as Kayal and Tagorn spoke on the plan, she would normally be much more involved in creating the plan but at the moment her head aching from the night before she decided she would allow her mind to wander and leave it to the others to discuss the plan. Her gaze had drifted down to her wrist, toward the bracelet Kayal had purchased her a few years back. The beautifully embroided bracelet held many markings of her homeland and whenever she saw it she could never stop a slight smile from forming on her lips. It had been a gift to her in a hard time, when she was going through many emotions that had sapped her of her happiness.

But with this gift and the kindess from Kayal she was able to overcome the troubles. It was rather early in their friendship, but from that point on she felt much closer to Kayal then she ever had before. He knew a lot about her past and helped her overcome many emotional struggles but he never once struggled with his own emotions, or at least nothing of the magnitude she had.

Her trance broke as Tagorn spoke towards her, she realized she hadn't even been paying attention to their planning and had also neglected to notice Allaina approach. "Oh sorry hello." She quickly said awkwardly toward Allaina before turning toward Tagorn, "No nothing is wrong, just getting lost in my own thoughts, I am fine." She said in a rather dismissive tone.
