Alexander
Alex smiled as he was squeezing on his gauntlets. That was a challenge he did not mind facing later. Especially after this whole adventure. He wouldn't mind sharing a bed again with Elleonara. At least next time he would expect it and further more welcome it as well.
"Well heres to hoping this part of the quest goes smoothly.... " He responded. Perhaps he would invite her to ride ontop of Fordes with him. Would be kinda fun just the two of them. Come to think of it,.... tell now Fordes and himself have always traveled alone. They never really traveled with anyone else not sense the wars his family fought. At least this time it was different. There was no war to be fought. Just a chalice....
.... The chalice. Something like that could go for a good price. Problem was,... with that damned contract if any of us took it and tried to sell it for a higher price or god forbid keep it for ourselves they would hunt us down. Then again..... Parum wasn't there at the meeting. They could use her as a way of securing it. Hell with Malkai's early dismissal he wasn't bound either. That would be two people that could take it and hide it. Something so dark shouldn't belong to the mages guild anyways. I mean it is a artifact of Nerul after all. Dark magic most likely surrounds it and controls it. Such power in the hands of a guild might not be the best thing. He shrugged off the thoughts and lifted up his sword and placed it at his hip. Best not to think such things now,... lets wait tell we have the thing. Then decide what to do with it.
Either way,... he decided he just might stick by Elleonara's side from now on. No matter which direction she went after this.
Once everything was where it should be he exited the room. He decided to go and check up on Fordes and get him ready for the journey to the temple. Maybe even grab some breakfast too.
Vivian
Vivian smiled at the sound of a voice. Looks like the merc joined her as suggested by Parum. Judging from the sound of her voice it didn't take much pressure to get her to enter this room last night. Vivian picked up her necklace and then moved to Catarina. She bent down.
"Breakfast would be nice." She was rather tempted to kiss the red cheeks of the onion knight. The forehead would just have to do for now as she leaned in to place her lips on Catarina's forehead. She rose back up and looked back out the window.
"The person that visited me last night that I mentioned. That was someone we do not have to worry about. My sister is no ally of these kinsmen that hunt me. From what she told me.... it looks as if my kin are going to try and take whatever valuables from the temple they can find. Hopefully we can get the chalice before they do." She continued.
Her body must be rather enticing to the warrior. Drow maybe different in skin color compared to their surface cousins but they still had one thing in common. The elven beauty they all had. It made most lust over them and thus why the females lead the society not men. For beauty was power. She looked back to Catarina and sighed.
"Maybe after all of this,... well I would like to travel with you some more. I feel safe around you." She said. She decided it was time to finally put her clothes on. It wouldn't take long seeing as it was not fancy armor or anything. Just a simple two piece. She wondered how the dwarf would react to the fact that the elf he insulted was no ordinary elf but a drow.... oh right 'she' insulted. So hard to tell with dwarves sometimes....
...... In perfect timing as soon as her clothes where on the door opened and Alexander poked in. Vivian looked to him and then to Fordes. Alexander walked over to the large dire wolf and moved a hand down to wake him.
"Come on Fordes,... with Catarina here Vivian is safe. Lets go grab some breakfast and prepare for the journey." He said. The animal stretched and yawned as it rose up. The two began to exit and Alex looked over at them.
"Well see you two ladies later. Hope you had a good rest." With that he left and Vivian sighed. Speaking of breakfast it was about time they went down to. Vivian looked to her onion knight companion.
"Well lets get down there..."
