Marran looked up at the woman who had come from the same rom that the man in charge at gone into. Getting up she hopped over to her and then men she was with. "Um, if I may, do you think I would be able to talk to your leader. I know this may be treason, but because I am on your side and not the king's. I wish to pass information on rotes that I found as a child, one that not even the King knows."

((Feels really behind))
Tomos slipped himself onto a seat near a large table. "Hello, Keith" He muttered, noticing the man was in the seat next to him. "Ronin, Lillith, Waverly." He gave each of them a nod of acknowledgement. "This is Rose." He looked at her, inviting her to sit next to him. "She stitched me up and saved my worthless little life." He grinned sarcastically, then noticed a pitcher of water on the table. He grabbed a nearby cup. It smelled clean enough, so he poured himself some water and drained it in one gulp. He looked up from his drink and noticed a strange woman he had never seen before.

"Um, if I may, do you think I would be able to talk to your leader. I know this may be treason, but because I am on your side and not the king's. I wish to pass information on rotes that I found as a child, one that not even the King knows." She spoke.

Tomos's eyes widened with interest. Who was this woman? He glanced at keith, hoping for an answer.

(( Sorry, but fyi, the majority of the characters are standing at various parts in the hall....Uh....))

Waverly smiled as Keith's hand brushed over her hair. "You're right," she said softly. "It's been a long day, and you especially need rest." She glanced over her shoulder briefly to make sure no one was around, then turned back to Keith and kissed him on the cheek. A blush warmed her face, not so much because of the action but because she'd done it so shyly, almost childishly, and it left her feeling stupid more then anything.

Keith felt a strange sensation in his stomach when Waverly's lips touched his cheek. His head felt light as if he was floating. This evening had been a blur of emotions so it seemed: anger, fear, emptyness, sadness but also love. Keith tilted his head to look in her beautiful eyes and placed a kiss on her forehead. He did not blush nor avert his eyes from hers. "Will you be alright?" he asked concerned not wanting her to be exposed to Haven's anger which was obviously caused by him.

[I'll try to answer to you Naur in my next post ]

She gave him a knowing smile, her hands in his. "How could I be anything but alright?" she murmured, not adding the last part for she knew he'd know what she meant. As long as I have you.
Waverly let go of him reluctantly. "Until tomorrow," was all she said before departing down the hall to her room.

Marran didn't wait for an answer and hobbled to the door and knocked gently on it. She knew she may get into trouble, but she wanted to help. she knew the king was wrong. He was only kind to her because of who her mother was.

Keith smiled at Waverly and then let go of her. He watched her leave, still somewhat concerned. The feeling of incredible joy and happiness hadn't yet overshadowed his worries.
He limped over to Ronin and poked him jokingly between the ribs though his face expressed great gratitude for his friend. "My friend, I hope I may always call upon your help when needed.." In the back of his mind Heaven's words played over and over again. His threat had the wished effects.
Then Keith looked over at Tomos. "I don't know who they are.. but it seems very inconvenient they found us. We've not been able to wipe out their trail.."

[I guess it will soon be morning since some charries already retired for the night? ]

Ronin and Lilith both watched the girl storm off to speak with Haven. Lilith was the first to make eye contact with her brother, for some reason the two found it hilarious and they bust out into laughter. Although not at all uncommon for Ronin, Lilith's laugh rarely was heard in the company of the Shadin. The two mixed together easily, the deep rumbling of Ronin and his younger sisters tinkling laughter.

Lilith was the first to stop and she nodded to the newcomer, Rose. She introduced herself breathlessly, holding her brother's sleeve to keep herself straight, "It is a pleasure to make your aquaintence," she said politely, the grin on her face yet to dissapate.

Ronin nodded as well,"Likewise, Miss Rose." He ruffled Keith's hair. "You most certainly may, my friend."

He was interrupted by a tug at his sleeve. "Sleep, Ronin," whined Lilith finally giving into her need to rest.

"Aye, sleep," he responded and they both wandered off to their room.

Rose took a seat, her mind now wondering, she hardly payed attention to what went on around her. The day's events was starting to take it's toll on her, and she didn't want to go home. Even though her family had lived in the small cottage, Rose's brother and father had camped out with the group many times, and a few of those times, Rose would come along. But she decided she might as well stay here.
"Is there a place here I could sleep?" she asked groggily...

Lilith stopped in her tracks on the way to bed. She turned to Rose and nodded gesturing with an arm, "You can share my room." The blonde looked over Rose, she looked worn out, then again all who had fought looked much the same. "Come with me, and we shall set you up for the night, yes?"

Ronin smiled as he heard his sister, knowing her she would end up sleeping next to one of the more injured men anyway. He closed the door to his room, layed down and fell asleep quickly.

Rose looked up, and followed.
"Thank you, Lilith," she said, her steps slow as she followed the woman...

(ack, short post... so sorry, don't know what else to say!)

Haven heard the knocking upon his door and groaned, having just lied down after a fruitless search for another bottle in his room. What does one have to do to be undisturbed around here?! He answered the door, scowling moodily again, his hair disheveled and his body shirtless.
"What do y- " He halted, the growling tone caught in his throat as he realized that the young woman standing before him was not one of the Shadin, but a captive. "Oh, hang it all..." he swore under his breath. Whoever he'd put in charge for guarding her was going to have to be punished.

Marran blushed. "I aplogise for disturbing you, but I know some information you could use. I know of a path that lead to the back of the castle." She looked down. "I know the king is wrong, and I am on your side. I am the only memeber of my family left, and I would be on the street, as would my brother have been, if the had not loved my mother and taken us in after our parents death. something I am sure the whole country knows about."

He leaned heavily against the door frame, bemused, arms crossed over across his bare chest. "And why should I believe you?" he asked smoothly, a tinge of annoyance in his tone. "Your words have no merit here, traitor. You hail from the house of my enemy. You've sat at his table and shared his company. Why then, girl, should I trust you?" He raised his dark brows, daring her to give him a good answer.

Rubin had fallen into a fitful sleep, awakening just in time to see Marran leave to talk to the leader of the Shadin. She gasped, then tried to get up, instead tripping over her own feet and landing on her face. Flushed with embaressment, she scrambled to her feet and ran after Marran. She was going to ask what was going on, but she realized that she was too late. The lady stopped in her tracks, awkwardly watching Marran and Haven talk.

Haven caught sight of the other girl approaching and swore inwardly. Why are ALL the guards so blasted incompetent?!
