I am on holiday this week in Spain! Will be home on the 2nd may, so posts will have to wait till then. But still...Spain! Huzzah
“You don’t look very dead to me, Sharon” Liaena observed lightly in response, before turning to look at Malizia. “Are you sure you want to bother with this? I’m not convinced she knows anything”

The death knight had managed to rear herself up to sit against the wall, and let out a snort at Liaena’s words. “Is this the part when you goad me into telling you everything?”

“Noo…it’s just really, really obvious. You’ve got ‘scapegoat’ written all over you” Liaena sighed. Leaning backwards slightly, she perched on top of one of the crates as she started to tick off points on her fingers.

“So you come here as a bold-as-brass Death Knight, with a bunch of losers. After our people already wiped the floor with you on your own turf. And you get to be tied up for it. I hope that wasn’t your idea?”

Glare

“So the city watch already know that they’ve got cultists and Death-Knights in the city. And lo, here we have a brazen attack on an influential citizen, led by a crazy assassin with aforementioned losers. So they question the assassin, who doesn’t know anything except maybe she got paid to do it. So they hang her if she’s alive, and purge the demon if she’s not because undead don’t get due process.”

“….”

“And whoever provided said assassin gets to walk away, with the city watch nice and distracted for whatever else he’s planning. Does this sound plausible to you?” Liaena took a moment to gauge Malizia’s mood, eying the Draenei closely. “Because from where I’m standing, it seems pretty damn plausible”
I....lack free time....

Will try and post something tomorrow evening (I'm out all day, which is standard)
"Just like... whichever option you'd feel the most comfortable with."

“…Nngh. Maybe Serphia does have her uses” Liaena mumbled finally as she stared at Malizia, pondering the dilemma in her head. “Okay. Okay, use the cuffs. We have a house of Night Elves, and she’s disarmed. We only have one counterspeller, and I’m not bringing her in here”

The High Elf nodded, before crouching over to bend the Draenei’s arms behind her and fit the cuffs on. Liaena watched silently, before clearing her throat slightly to voice what was weighing on her mind. “Maybe Rithrynn’s better off out of it for a while”

“What?”

Sharon turned slightly, to give her a quizzical look. Liaena sagged slightly, to sit down quite heavily on one of the upturned crates in the room looking very tired all of a sudden.

“She was with Sherpa the night before last. Remember? And I don’t think she was under any sort of spell, or drug. She seemed…lucid, when I spoke to her about it. Relatively speaking”

The girl studied the floor as she spoke, with a carefully composed touch to her voice. “I don’t understand what he’s done, or offered her, but she seems to be under the impression he is misunderstood, and cares for her. Which is a problem, because Rithrynn is a moron that is easily manipulated. While this brainless, careless, nonsense is going on….I don’t think that we can trust her”

By the end of her speech, the girl’s composure was slightly rocked by the bite in her final words. Glaring a hole in the stone floor, Liaena became aware that Sharon was giving her a look of concern. “You would rather leave her…?”

“…No, no…I’ll get her out of Serphia. Literally. I owe her that much, at least” Liaena said flatly.

“I’ll make sure she doesn’t do any damage while this thing with Sherpa is ongoing. And after that…I suppose she’ll be leaving with Serphia’s lot anyway, which makes life easier.”

Glancing up, Liaena finally met Sharon’s eyes to give him an only slightly forced smile. “Anyway, not really the priority right now. Shall I wake up that Death Knight?”
"You and that Kathlin girl, you make quite the team together, don't you?"

“…I don’t know why the elves brought her back here, she’s not a fighter. And she’s nearly got herself killed once already, getting mixed up in this” Liaena said in a deeply unenthused tone. The girl slid open a door, to enter one of the servant staircases leading down. Here at least, there were no night elves.

“I’ll get rid of her later”

The girl glanced behind her at the large Draenei floating behind them down the stairs. The stairwell was only barely large enough for her to fit through, with the result that her body was getting a fair amount of buffeting and scraping as it squeezed after them. “Oh, I think I can deal with containment issues. I’ve already tested this on her”

Drawing a small vial of the shrinking potion out of her pocket, Liaena waggled it at the small elf on her shoulder to illustrate her point as she reached the bottom of the stairs. Having entered onto quite a dingy corridor lined with doors, with the very audible sounds of Miz Collins banging away on pots and pans in the distance, Liaena started to open doors in turn to peer in for suitable spots for an interrogation session. “Wow. You might need to restock these, Sharon”

What “this” was soon became apparent as the girl entered into a stockroom quite literally littered with empty jam-jars, many with the preserve they had once contained still clinging forlornly to the edges. It was unclear whether some Night Elf had a severe sweet tooth, the elves had decided to have a jam-fight upstairs or Naliyah had discovered it made everything much more fun - in any case, the place had been stripped bare.

Crossing over to the other side of the room, Liaena allowed Malizia to fall unceremoniously to the floor as she deposited Sharon gently on one of the empty shelves, before perching on a lower one beside him. Removing another potion out of her bag, she placed that one on the shelf next to him before falling to the very important task of starting to carefully puncture holes in the lid of a jam jar she had picked up off the floor with a penknife. “It’s the antidote. Take it. I don’t want to mislay you down here”

“Hello?”

Kathlin poked her head into yet another empty living room, before withdrawing it with a sigh. “Girl-whose-name-I-cannot-recall? Are you still here? It’s safe…ish”

….

“Li, your house is huge”

"Whoever you are, please get Li! Tell her that we need an antitode right aw,-"

“Eeek!”

Turning quickly at the cries from just down the corridor, Kathlin sped up her ambling pace to a quick walk as she turned a corner to behold Silje, who was holding up a trembling finger as she gawped at the contents of the bedroom. “T-the elf…she disappeared…”
Reaching the smaller girl, Kathlin looked into the bedroom to eye the thing Silje was transfixed with horror by. “….Noooo, I don’t think she has, I’m afraid”

“No! The other one!” Silje stammered. “She told me to go and get a Lee. What’s a Lee?”

“Ah, well, it’s….”

Kathlin trailed off as she studied the Night Elf in the room’s behaviour. If Serphia had noticed the fact she was under observation, she had shown no indication of caring. “…that cannot be good for her back”

“W-w-what?”

“Ohh…nothing. Come on then, we’ll go find a Li” Kathlin said finally as she picked up Silje’s hand, tugging the girl with her as she turned to walk back down the corridor. The girl followed extremely willingly rather than be abandoned, although not without many nervous glances behind them. “…w-what were they doing!?”

“Would you like me to explain?”

“…No.”
"Thankfully, I think Rithrynn will buy us valuable time by... distracting Serphia. Still, we probably should try to help the girl before she gets too deep into trouble."

“….ehh…yeah…” Liaena mumbled finally, pushing her hair away from her forehead in a facepalm of her own as she looked towards the house. It was a sign of how flummoxed the girl was by the situation that she did not even attempt to pick up the obvious joke at Rithrynn’s expense.

“I assume you mean ‘deep’ literally”

“Yes, yes, he did mean that” Liaena muttered to Kathlin as she turned her attention back to the unconscious Draenei lying at their feet. “Okay. You’re right, we should at least try and interrogate this bitch before we go get Rithrynn back. Help me get her inside, Kitty”

“Uh, sure”

“Okay” Liaena nodded as the Draenei started to float towards the house, walking beside her as she mentally ran through the bad-guy checklist in her head. “There were some other intruders, a high elf –“

“He got sat on”

“—fine, we’ll dig him out later. Other than that, we had a load of randoms I’m guessing the Night Elves beat up, and some girl Kitty decided to mother. She’ll still be running around the house, I’m guessing” Liaena said thoughtfully, before looking over at Kathlin. “You should go find her, and bring her over. She’ll be a good witness”

“…I rather doubt they told her anything noteworthy, but sure” Kathlin said dubiously as they walked in through the rug. Predictably, Mei and Vashi were nowhere to be seen. Glancing around, Kathlin hesitated before looking back at Liaena who was giving her an expectant look. “…You want me to go get her now?”

“Well she’s only going to stumble into a room full of tigers or Serphia, and I’m not sure which is worse. I’m not completely heartless” Liaena sniffed. “Somebody should probably look after her. Light knows her own team isn’t”

“....right”

“…..”

“You’re trying to get rid of me while you do something morally questionable with that Death Knight, aren’t you?”

“…..”

“No! Of course not! We’ll wait for you, if you really want to sit in on this” Liaena exclaimed in a tone of wounded innocence in the face of Kathlin’s stare. “I mean, I was just thinking of that girl….she is going to get eaten by a tiger you know, that bit’s true”

“….yes, okay. I’m going” Kathlin said wearily as she turned towards the stairs. “….you know technically speaking, I need to write a report on this assignment. That’ll make interesting reading”

“Well, I’ll proof read. And censor.” Liaena called back as the other girl’s footsteps grew fainter till they could not longer be heard over the snoring of the Night Elf in half a ball gown. “…Okay fine. Let’s get this one into the cellar before any remotely sober Night Elves show up.”

The girl was already moving as she spoke, Malizia floating behind her as she moved towards one of the side corridors where she knew there was a servant staircase into the cellars. “Also, Death Knights. Any idea which buttons to press?”
“Oh, would you like any assistance? I can…”

Kathlin began as she started to walk after Vashi and the protesting Mei, before she received a sharp tug on the sleeve pulling her back. “Er…no. You don’t want to assist with that

“….”

Liaena jerked her head after the departing pair with a slight smirk on her face as she sketched finger quotes around her words. “She’ll make her, ‘comfortable’”

“…Oh”

Kathlin glanced at Mei and Vashi, the latter having lovingly pushed the former almost into the house at this point. “I had the impression Kel’dorei were a lot more xenophobic than this”

“Oh, they are. It’s just, that never seems to matter when there is hotness involved” Liaena said scornfully as she turned back to the more pertinent matter at hand: Malizia and the unfortunate watcher. “Sorry Sharon. You were saying?”

“Mmmmmwrrghh! RRGH! !!!”

“Oh yeah”
The girl stated as she produced her bag, to start poking through it again after a non-love-potion. Kathlin meanwhile, continued to follow the progress of Vashi and Mei curiously. “You think she’s hot?”

“….well, objectively yes. In a tentacle-ally sort of way” Liaena said dubiously as she loaded another vial into her gun. Taking aim more carefully this time, a dart sunk into the Draenei’s neck. The Night Elf, who’s face had gone quite black with rage, fought herself free reasonably easily as Malizia flopped to the ground to start snoring loudly. “You DARE…DIE!! DI-zzzzzzz”

“nice job” Kathlin complimented lightly as the second humanoid hit the floor. Liaena merely shook her head.
“I’m going to run out of drugs again on these idiots”

“….”

“Soo…are we going to try and interrogate this one as well? Preferably before Serphia shows up?” Liaena enquired as she looked over to Sharon with a smile.A moment later, a frown crinkled her brow as a thought struck her. “Where is Serphia, anyway?”

“You shot her”

“I did?”

“Yes. You looked as though you were under an all-sensory illusion” Kathlin remarked. “She didn’t fall unconscious though. Did you use that love potion, do you think?”

“…..maaaybe…” Liaena said slowly as she looked down at the two bottles in her hands, comparing the remaining contents of each. “Where is Rithrynn anyway? She might know”

“…..”

“…..”

“Hmm. Well” Liaena finally said carefully, in a tone of voice that was clearly trying hard not to laugh in the face of two hard stares from Kathlin and Sharon. “I guess that objective was completed. Uh, sort of.”
“You should probably stop that, you know. Violence breaks the cantrip” Kathlin stated as they stared up at the struggling Night Elf and Draenei. Based on her volume and the fact that the pairs attempts to murder each other did not abate even for a moment, it was unlikely they had heard her.

"Not to talk less of your impressive martial skills or anything, but Death Knights are the most dangerous up close. I think the apprentices can deal with this situation before it goes out of hand."

“Well I am an expert in not getting out of hand, after all” Liaena remarked dryly as she produced her dart gun out of a pocket. Checking the other pocket, she found a vial that – after a fleeting glance at the label – was pushed into the holster. Walking forward towards where Malizia was floating slowly down through the air, the girl unceremoniously took aim and fired. A small dart sunk into the neck of the un-helmeted Draenei…given her current fight with the Night Elf, it was probably not even noticed.

“….”

“So what was that supposed to do?” Kathlin asked, after a few seconds in which nothing appeared to happen. Liaena stared up at the duo, an annoyed look crinkling her forehead. “Knock her out. Maybe I mislabelled it?”

Floating down through the air, Malizia shivered slightly as a strange sensation came over her for a moment. Blinking slightly, she shook her head to look back up at the Night Elf. The beautiful Night Elf, with that purpled flush of anger in her cheeks only adding to her charm. A perfectly oval face, a voluptuous body…that young fresh skin…”

-SMUCK-

“MRRRRGHHHH!”

“….”

The two apprentices merely stared up, momentarily speechless as the Draenei lunged forwards to catch the Night Elf and kiss her full on the lips. Judging by the Night Elfs reaction, this was not exactly well received – however the embrace Malizia had her in prevented her from reaching for weapons for the moment. “…you definitely mislabelled it”

“Hrm. Yeah.” Liaena acceded to this. “I wondered where that went”

“Why do you have a love potion?”

“RGGGH!”

“Rithrynn needed a boyfriend. It was a work in progress”
kkkttt...work sucks. Will try post tomorrow (I don't have to go to bed early)
“Oh, yes. Sorry” Kathlin responded lightly, and waved a hand in their general direction. The spell abruptly ended, with Vashi and Mei falling a few inches to end up a heap on the floor together. Neither seemed to mind much.

“Right…fine, but I’d sooner not risk her teleports” Liaena muttered as she studied the pair, before throwing the high elf on her shoulder a quick glance. “Could you get us out there, Sharon?”

“Of course…”

Raising a hand that was then wreathed in purple light, the High Elf snapped his fingers and a shimmering portal materialised in the air in front of them. Liaena was quick to jump through without a second thought, the high elf still riding on her shoulder.

“….”

Taking a look at the pair at her feet, Kathlin bent over to pick up the hopelessly tangled Draenei and Night Elf in one hand and forcibly push them at and through the portal. That being done she immediately jumped through herself, as the tear in the world abruptly vanished after her.

*

“LET! GO! OF! ME!”

“Subtle.” Liaena observed as she stared up from the lawn now covered with slush and snow. The source of the racket could not have been more clear, with Malizia clinging onto a Night Elf clinging desperately onto the roof. It was also a clear display for any random person that saw fit to take an interest, either from any of the other large mansions on the street, or the street itself. Kathlin characteristically, looked concerned.

“They’re going to wake up the neighbours”

“My heart bleeds”

That was the very moment that with a nasty ripping sound, the drainpipe the Night Elf was clinging onto came clean off the wall as both started to plummet towards the ground! The fall only lasted a moment however, as a moment later it was arrested for the pair to start gently floating down the height of the house as if falling through quicksand.

“Impressive escape that. She sure showed us”

Liaena shook her head before glancing down at Mei, giving her a slightly nasty smile as she gestured toward the other Draenei. “Think you’ve got enough left to take her down? Or would you prefer us to do the honours?”
