"We still do not know who it is placing a price on the princess's head." Alaric sat in one of the lowbacked chairs. "It is her gift from the gods. She is Chosen."

[LuciasFalkner]

There was a brief moment of silence from Adminius. He just stared blankly at Alaric for a moment before giving a dorky, awkward chuckle. "That... That's a good one, Alaric. So you bought it for her. It looks nice. I appreciate that."

[Nobody]

Alaric stared at him flatly. "Have I ever been one to jest of holy matters?"

[LuciasFalkner]

Adminius stared right back, quite possibly the blankest expression imaginable occupying his face. "... Aoife is a chosen." He nodded. "Right. Okay." He sat down, the blankness still sitting on his face.

Charlotte took advantage of their oreoccupation and silently slipped out the door.

The moment she turned around from closing the door, she ran into a suit of armor. The man in said suit of armor grabbed her, making sure she didnt fall down. instead of asking her if she was all right, he siply looked her over, and noted a lack of blood, broken bones, or any other such injury, simply dismissed the matter. ''You are one of the group that came with Alaric, the knight of Libertatem, yes?'' Again, he simply seemed to look over her, coming to some sort of conclusion before waiting for her answer, and proceeded, ''The council sends the message that Due to the... unpleasant events of late, welcomes are wearing thin. They wish to inform you and your company that while by no means are you being forced out of the city, it might be wise to leave within the next twenty four to thirty six hours. Of course, you are free to stay, but it might be mentioned that the council is hoping to avoid further diplomatic unpleasantness, and to that end, they have sent an aid to assist with obtaining any supplies, and seeing yourselves out of the city and surrounding territory.'' His demeanor shifted, and just in case she wasn't bright enough to understand, he added, with the utmost formality: ''To put it in the terms of people instead of politicians, the council wants you out.'' the tips of his mustache, almost as far out as his ears, quivered as he spoke the last words. he waited for a bit, and then added once more, ''I await any answer your party might give at the end of the hall.''

"I don't appreciate being talked down to. At all. It should also be noted that I don't answer to the council. And last, but certainly not least, you're talking to the wrong person." She pointed her thumb behind her. "The knight of libertatem you're seeking is behind that door. Now if you'll excuse me." She strode past the large man without a second thought.

[Nobody]

Alaric opened his eyes. So, the council had decided they were a nuisance? He had his doubts. He would also need to apologize to Charlotte for eavesdropping on her. Before he relinquished his hearing spell, he heard something from the main courtyard; circus music.

He rose unsteadily. "I believe I know where Aoife is."

[LuciasFalkner]

Adminius blinked. "What makes you so sure? Besides, like I said, I'm sure that she's out for a walk." He rubbed his nose and sighed. He couldn't believe that Aoife was a chosen. He was fighting to protect her, and now she'd be throwing herself right into the fray. He shook his head and left, pushing right past the knight.

[Nobody]

Alaric sighed and headed out to the courtyard. The circus was setting up a large tent. He looked about. No familiar faces yet, but Mezit was tingling on the back of his neck. He headed inside and found Aoife, sitting in the stands. "My lady," he said as he sat next to her.

[LuciasFalkner]

She jumped when Alaric spoke, having not seen him sit. She whirled on him and smiled when she saw who it was. "Oh! Alaric! Sorry if I worried you all. I got home late, but I had a mostly restless night, so... You can guess the rest." She looked down, hoping to get a comment on the outfit.

[Nobody]

"Well, you look prepared for... something. You came to the circus?" He looked up. Things were about to start.

[LuciasFalkner]

She pouted a bit before turning to the main attraction. Just before the show began, Adminius joined them, though he didn't say anything out of respect.

As the tent quieted down to a dull rumble, a man walked to center stage. He wore a bright blue suit and a smile as he addressed the audience and introduced himself as the ringmaster, then introduced the circus and the first act. The lights dimmed and the spotlight focused on the trapeze as the artists began. The occasional clap or oh came from the audience as the act continued and transitioned into the next. After a few acts the ringmaster appeared again and announced the circus' crowing glory was about to begin. With a bow he exited and a lovely female voice vocalized as a few beautiful human dancers twirled on stage, followed lastly by the source of the voice and she cartwheeled onto the centre of the stage and struck a pose. She was a ghee, and was clearly not afraid to show some skin, as she was wearing a two peice almost bikini with some fabric framing her hips much unlike the other dancers, who were mostly covered. She smiled and looked at her teammates before she began to sing. The girls began dancing all around her as she vocalized each note with absolute confidence and perfection. Then she began to dance as well, voice never faltering even with the exertion from the dance.

Alaric leaned forward. He thought maybe, he recognized that ghee girl. Though he couldn't be sure this far away.
