[Video | Open to Anyone | After Feast]

[wildgift]

[This one looks rather ostentatious, though it isn't really through any choice of his own. He's red haired and dressed in Scarlets, muttering to himself and trying not to look too concerned. He's actually doing quite a good job of it, though the look in his eyes might give him away to anyone who knows how to read it.]

Safest Bard in Haven, indeed. [Never mind that he'd been the one to say that.] When Vanyel hears of this, I'll never hear the end of it. [Here he adopts a different tone, clearly imitating someone else.]

"Do you see, Stefen? I was right. My enemies will only use you against me." [Sigh.] Yes, he certainly needed another excuse to try and be rid of me.

Hellsteeth.

[He takes a few cautious glances around, but shakes his head. Apparently he doesn't like much of what he sees, but he does at least try to give an endearing, albeit self-deprecating smile.]

Would someone mind please informing me as to where I am? I'm afraid I've not much to provide in the way of a reward for your help, but I would certainly appreciate it. I'm sure I can find some way to repay you.

I happen to be available.

[Action]

[vanyel_ashkevron]

What's your payment?

[Action]

[wildgift]

I'm sure you'll think of something appropriate.

[Action]

[vanyel_ashkevron]

First things first... [He tugs on Stefen's sleeve and leads the way to a pair of rooms.] I want to make sure you can find me easily at day break.

[Action]

[wildgift]

I don't imagine after all those promises that you would make it that difficult.

[Action]

[vanyel_ashkevron]

Taking anything for granted in this realm wouldn't be the best idea.

Re: [Action]

[wildgift]

[Sigh.]

You might be right.

[Action]

[vanyel_ashkevron]

But I won't forget tonight.

Re: [Action]

[wildgift]

Good. I was rather hoping you wouldn't.

[Action]

[vanyel_ashkevron]

I might be stubborn, but I'm not a fool.

[Action]

[wildgift]

That will save other misunderstandings.

[Action]

[vanyel_ashkevron]

I fear we will have other misunderstandings.

[Action]

[wildgift]

What a positive outlook.

[Action]

[vanyel_ashkevron]

I'm aiming for realistic.

[Action]

[wildgift]

I'd hate to think you're actually looking for misunderstandings.

[Action]

[vanyel_ashkevron]

Not looking; preparing. [He sets his lute, sword, knives and extra clothes down in one of the rooms.]

[Action]

[wildgift]

That isn't much better.

[Action]

[vanyel_ashkevron]

Maybe you can teach me differently.

[Action]

[wildgift]

Evidently I'll have to.

[Action]

[vanyel_ashkevron]

Add that to your list. [Off go his shoes and he loosens the collar of his Heraldic Whites.] I imagine it will grow in no time.

[Action]

[wildgift]

What am I ever going to do with you?

[Action]

[vanyel_ashkevron]

Become incredibly patient or give up on me.

[Action]

[wildgift]

You say that like it's actually an option.

[Action]

[vanyel_ashkevron]

It is. Even depressing options are options.

[Action]

[wildgift]

Not so far as you're concerned. At least not for me.
