A messenger walked up to Alaric, clearing his throat to get his attention. He handed Alaric small pouch that contained several letters, and a bag of coins. ''The supplies for your upcomin journey are all arranged and situated for you. Two weeks supplies and horses are waiting for you at the west gatehouse stables. The supplies provided are only general things, so youve been provided with the funds to get whatever you need in the city before you leave.'' The messenger indicated the items he had handed Alaric. ''You are reminded that you now have less than a day until the appointed departure time.''

"Oooh. We really are bad!! Hehehe wait till I tell horsaeh!" Evie giggled and ran over to Ezra." So do you always dress like that?"

[Nobody]

He looked at himself. "Huh? Oh, clown thing. No."

[Tetra]

"Oh fantastic. It hurts my eyes."She stated bluntly, but in a happy tone. "So shall we head out?" She grinned.

Charlotte had been wandering the city for a while after she finished her initial errands and now found herself sitting on a bench watching people walk by. Aside from the councils decision, leaving the city seemed like a half decent idea. She probably could've gone back to discuss it with them, but the idea seemed exhausting to say the least. Her mind had been wandering a bit when Aoife and Adminius passed in front of her. She put her head down, hoping the two wouldn't notice her, though Adminius in particular seemed preoccupied with something and Aoife... "You two are looking pretty rough."

[LuciasFalkner]

Adminius jumped and Aoife, who had been supporting herself on him, almost fell over. Adminius turned to Charlotte, a slight glare on his face. "... You could say that..." He looked at Aoife who was having trouble standing. Her face was cut in a couple of places, though overall, she just seemed weak, aside from a couple of tears in the cloth around her stomach. He turned back to Charlotte. "... Where were you?0

[sunter]

She crossed her arms and say back. "Out. Something must've caught you guys off guard." There was more curiosity than anything."so what happened?"

[LuciasFalkner]

Adminius fell silent. He didn't know where to begin. "... Well... We were... Attacked. By... What appeared to be a... Shadow... Entity? That may or may not have been my dead mother?"

[sunter]

"That would be something wouldn't it? Be thankful the the dead usually stay dead." She thought about it for a moment more. "You, if it's any consolation, I'll be it was just another assassination attempt. Even the gods don't have the power to bring the dead back to life." Charlotte shifted uncomfortably. "Unless..." She mumbled under her breath, before perking up. "You two shouldnt be wandering around in that condition, especially with a big journey ahead of us. Get back to Alaric and see if he can fix you up. That's an order that I expect you to follow. I have one more thing I need to do before we leave, then I'll join back up with you."

[LuciasFalkner]

Adminius muttered something under his breath before helping Aoife back to Alaric and the others.

"Meet me at the eastern gate at noon!" She called after them. "Ghosts and demons? What's next, dragons?" She scoffed, though she wasn't entirely sure they wouldn't encounter a dragon. She got up and walked in the opposite direction. "Should be around here somewhere.... Ah hah!" Charlotte found herself walking into a small bookshop, the bell ringing over her head.
"Good morning young lady!" A woman was sitting the counter, her legs crossed. "I was starting to think nobody would come today."
"Well here I am." Charlotte replied. "Are you the owner of this shop?"
"Oh heavens no. I'm just a regular. Always looking for something new to read. I can help you find what you're looking for. I'm watching the shop for him while he's out." She tilted her glasses down to look at Charlotte. "So what can I do for you?"
"I'm just looking for a book on Warryn legends. There wouldn't happens I be one here, would there?"
She popped off the counter and shuffled through a random stack, pulling out a thick book. "Legends Lost to History Volume 7. A personal favorite actually." She handed the book to charlotte. "Wish I could get my hands on an older copy. I bet it's filled with so many more."
"Oh? I would think a newer volume would have more comprehensive information."
The woman shook her head. "Rumor has it that there are plenty of legends lost to the very first book. Some say it's an effort to keep something hidden. Of course that's why its. a legend. Almost never true, right?"
Charlotte took the book and pulled out a few coins in payment. The woman held up her hand in denial. "Nonsense. Consider it a gift."
Charlotte pressed on, unnerved by the woman's kindnness. "No I insist. It wouldn't be right of me to-"
She laughed at the flustered Charlotte. "Tell you what. Keep your money, but if you ever come accross an earlier copy of that book, return it here. Consider it a trade."
Charlotte deopped her shoulders. "Fine. Thank you very much." She turned and left the shop, soon arriving at the designated meeting place. There, she waited patiently for the rest of them to arrive, flipping through the book while she had the time.

[LuciasFalkner]

Adminius and Aoife, who was still supporting herself on Adminius' shoulder, returned to the meeting place a little after the designated time.. He saw that everyone had already gathered, though he specifically made a point of waiting long enough to be the last one to arrive. He looked at the others before clearing his throat.

[Tetra]

Evie was petting a quite large horse. "Oh hello!!" She smiled at the new comers.

[sunter]

Charlotte had been talking to a familiar guard while everybody arrived. "Thank you. Just, make sure he gets this." She handed him a letter.
"It will be done ma'am. I'll have any guards that see him send him my way. Safe journeys." He smiled and walked away.
With that, she turned to the group, crossing her arms at Aoife and Adminius. "You two were supposed to be with Alaric."

[LuciasFalkner]

Aoife glanced at Adminius. For a moment, he said nothing. It was clear that something was bugging them, and whether or not it involved the woman from earlier was up for debate. With a sideward glance at Aoife, he sighed. "We were... Talking."
