She glances to her two mercenary guards with a faint sigh, just knowing this will revisit that entire tarn vs. kaiila conversation

says to Kard'nal|Mercenary||Hire: She'd become edgier since certain events of recent history in her life, and emerald gaze swept the cloaked and hooded individual, a frown touching upon her features, wondering if he was a member she hadn't met, or one with so little respect for the Ubar of the camp that he'd come in hidden. Fingertips found the dark cable of her braid, tugging slightly, as she was wont to do when thoughtful. In considering the newcomer, her eyes caught upon that emblem on his cloak and fingers instinctively went to the small bit of red leather tied around a much smaller braid hidden in the larger, a gesture that'd become second nature when she needed a bit of personal strength. She held herself silent for the moment, though she heard Frank and Edgar move at her back, having seen the same thing she had.

says to Kard'nal|Mercenary||Hire: Without removing her gaze from you, she spoke softly, for the mercs at her back, who'd tended her these many hands. Frank, Edgar, my trusted guards, it seems you will have a choice to make as to whose employ to continue in, if my guess is correct. She left it at that, as they'd been travelling companions for some time now, and both knew well how she thought. Even if they hadn't come to the same conclusion, they would merely from those words.

She did not look tos ee if her guards took the extra precaution amiss, as she was careful with her Freedom and her life. Emeralds flashed anger at how this ghost from her past has treated you. He had little excuse for not knowing wagon ways, as she'd lived in his company for many hands and he should have known better. But without comment, her stalking gait carried the group from teh circle of the fires light to prevent disrupting your camp further.

Frank, Edgar, and the outriders all claimed their kaiila to mount. She hesitated a moment, considering making you walk while they all rode, but she had little wish to push you to the point of unpleasant results and finally gestured for another kaiila to be brought out.

says to Kard'nal|Mercenary||Hire: Her anger rose with every moment that you remained silent. It was easier to be angry than to face the fact that she simply hadn't mattered. She didnt' care for you riding behind her, but at least there were plainsmen between us. She sat the kaiila with a certain stiffness of bruised pride, and a rigidity that spoke of the tremendous effort it took to keep her temper in check. A tight smile did touch upon her lips as she heard the outriders eventually begin bantering about city men and their lack of scars, comparing them to untried boys. She bit back a groan, as wagon humor was not likely to improve this situation.

says to Kard'nal|Mercenary||Hire: At last, after riding through the darkness for some time, we came upon a group of wagons. She was only using one, and the others belonged to the longtime acquaintance that had accompanied her to this camp. A twisted smile of irony touched upon her lips, wondering if history would repeat itself and you'd try to steal her from him again. Heading toward the lone wagon, she swung down from her kaiila, handing the reins off to one of the outriders. Her hand slid into the pouch at her waist, fingers trailing over two very like objects within. One, she'd stolen from your possessions after you were presumed dead, the other had been on her. It was the latter that she withdrew, moonlight glinting upon silver and gemstones. Her hand clenched around it for allt hat it had meant to her, and could still mean to her, but holding onto it now felt stupid. It had clearly meant less to you, and so it was after a moment of savoring its presence that she cast the circle of silver and emerald into the dirt. Since that meant so little to you, I have no need to keep it any longer. I had held it in the thought that one day it may be replaced, that my life would make sense again, but if the words spoken at its giving held so little value to you, take it, and rid me of the memory of my foolishness.

He would not let some Gorean from the City come into His lands and show disrespect to Him. Mercenary or not.

I have no need of your wagon, your gold, or your guards, though they have served me well. She did take a moment then to gaze to both Frank and Edgar, who were eyeing you with a mix of disbelief at your return and slowly growing ire that you'd abandoned both her and them. I've run off? How would you figure that when I waited with no word of your welfare for so long? If you'd taken me with you, or even sent a message, I'd have known you were safe.

She was about to head into the darkness, away from you, to join them, hand tight upon that thong of red leather, when you moved toward her instead. She took in the simple sentence, and her temper cooled, considering it. When her words emerged, they were soft enough that the wind could have stolen them away without ever being heard. If that were true, you'd have come here not for something in that wagon, but with the word "mine" upon your lips the intention to reclaim living property.

says to Kard'nal|Mercenary||Hire: Tears sparked in the brilliance of her eyes as she listened to your words. The mood was unlike you, at least unlike what she'd known of you. She did pale a bit at your open discussion of what she'd been to you, not daring to glance at the outriders, grateful at least that we'd adjourned from camp for this. She did not need it passed around new acquaintances what she'd been previous to now. Frank and Edgar had made certain that the papers she carried close at hand were perfectly legal, but legalities only went so far. I was happy, and I thought you knew that. I am curious as to who you've gathered your information from, but know better than to ask. She saw your gaze go to the beautiful silver collar that she'd discarded in her anger, something she probablys houldn't have carried around in teh first place, as so many had seen it upon her neck, but she was sentimental. It was valuable, but she'd never sought to determine how valuable or tried to sell it...it had been worth more than her own weight in gold to her. She did not bend to pick it up yet, but merely looked from it to you, her tone mild when she spoke. Perhaps the next one you steal will be worth the effort of being told you still live.

After a long moment of allowing herself the pain, she regained composure and gestured to the collar still shining in the dirt. Take that. Hide it. I don't want to see it again. Almost as an afterthought, she added: But if you value your lives, don't you dare sell it. With that, she rose from the steps of the wagon, squaring her shoulders and drying her cheeks, reclaiming her kaiila from the outrider with a thank you. And just like that, the proud plainswoman returned. Shall we head back to camp?

says to Kard'nal|Mercenary||Hire: Without removing her gaze from you, she spoke softly, for the mercs at her back, who'd tended her these many hands. Frank, Edgar, my trusted guards, it seems you will have a choice to make as to whose employ to continue in, if my guess is correct. She left it at that, as they'd been travelling companions for some time now, and both knew well how she thought. Even if they hadn't come to the same conclusion, they would merely from those words.

Her tone was gauged to conceal the turmoil within as she merely remained knelt upon the furs, mostly at her ease. It is the hair of a Free Woman of the plains. Emerald eyes glint with a slightly malicious edge, though still wondering what purpose your presence betokens. I trust you have no issue with that?

She did not look tos ee if her guards took the extra precaution amiss, as she was careful with her Freedom and her life. Emeralds flashed anger at how this ghost from her past has treated you. He had little excuse for not knowing wagon ways, as she'd lived in his company for many hands and he should have known better. But without comment, her stalking gait carried the group from teh circle of the fires light to prevent disrupting your camp further.

says to Kard'nal|Mercenary||Hire: She paused at the animal pens long enough to gather her kaiila, as the wagon was some distanc eonto the plains, but still within the territory patrolled by the outriders. Frank, Edgar, and the outriders all claimed their kaiila to mount. She hesitated a moment, considering making you walk while they all rode, but she had little wish to push you to the point of unpleasant results and finally gestured for another kaiila to be brought out.

says to Kard'nal|Mercenary||Hire: Her anger rose with every moment that you remained silent. It was easier to be angry than to face the fact that she simply hadn't mattered. She didnt' care for you riding behind her, but at least there were plainsmen between us. She sat the kaiila with a certain stiffness of bruised pride, and a rigidity that spoke of the tremendous effort it took to keep her temper in check. A tight smile did touch upon her lips as she heard the outriders eventually begin bantering about city men and their lack of scars, comparing them to untried boys. She bit back a groan, as wagon humor was not likely to improve this situation.

says to Kard'nal|Mercenary||Hire: At last, after riding through the darkness for some time, we came upon a group of wagons. She was only using one, and the others belonged to the longtime acquaintance that had accompanied her to this camp. A twisted smile of irony touched upon her lips, wondering if history would repeat itself and you'd try to steal her from him again. Heading toward the lone wagon, she swung down from her kaiila, handing the reins off to one of the outriders. Her hand slid into the pouch at her waist, fingers trailing over two very like objects within. One, she'd stolen from your possessions after you were presumed dead, the other had been on her. It was the latter that she withdrew, moonlight glinting upon silver and gemstones. Her hand clenched around it for allt hat it had meant to her, and could still mean to her, but holding onto it now felt stupid. It had clearly meant less to you, and so it was after a moment of savoring its presence that she cast the circle of silver and emerald into the dirt. Since that meant so little to you, I have no need to keep it any longer. I had held it in the thought that one day it may be replaced, that my life would make sense again, but if the words spoken at its giving held so little value to you, take it, and rid me of the memory of my foolishness.

He would not let some Gorean from the City come into His lands and show disrespect to Him. Mercenary or not. He had the right mind to sign the Man's death warrant, but simply left it be to Protect the Guest of Kataii. For if the Man got this package He came for and simply left, All would be fine.

I have no need of your wagon, your gold, or your guards, though they have served me well. She did take a moment then to gaze to both Frank and Edgar, who were eyeing you with a mix of disbelief at your return and slowly growing ire that you'd abandoned both her and them. I've run off? How would you figure that when I waited with no word of your welfare for so long? If you'd taken me with you, or even sent a message, I'd have known you were safe. Frank and Edgar did as they thought best. Should I have died in that village waiting?

She was about to head into the darkness, away from you, to join them, hand tight upon that thong of red leather, when you moved toward her instead. She took in the simple sentence, and her temper cooled, considering it. When her words emerged, they were soft enough that the wind could have stolen them away without ever being heard. If that were true, you'd have come here not for something in that wagon, but with the word "mine" upon your lips the intention to reclaim living property.

says to Kard'nal|Mercenary||Hire: Tears sparked in the brilliance of her eyes as she listened to your words. The mood was unlike you, at least unlike what she'd known of you. She did pale a bit at your open discussion of what she'd been to you, not daring to glance at the outriders, grateful at least that we'd adjourned from camp for this. She did not need it passed around new acquaintances what she'd been previous to now. Frank and Edgar had made certain that the papers she carried close at hand were perfectly legal, but legalities only went so far. I was happy, and I thought you knew that. I am curious as to who you've gathered your information from, but know better than to ask. She saw your gaze go to the beautiful silver collar that she'd discarded in her anger, something she probablys houldn't have carried around in teh first place, as so many had seen it upon her neck, but she was sentimental. It was valuable, but she'd never sought to determine how valuable or tried to sell it...it had been worth more than her own weight in gold to her. She did not bend to pick it up yet, but merely looked from it to you, her tone mild when she spoke. Perhaps the next one you steal will be worth the effort of being told you still live.

One of the outriders called out that you'd forgotten whatever you'd come for, but she was oblivious. In all her life, only you had ever expressed that sentiment to her. Franka nd Edgar urged the outriders to a respectful distance to give her the moment to let tears flow down fair cheeks in the solitude of the darkened plains, before she had to gather herself to return to the camp.

says to All: Even in all the time that they'd waited on word of his life or death, Frank and Edgar had yet to see their charge break down so completely. After a long moment of allowing herself the pain, she regained composure and gestured to the collar still shining in the dirt. Take that. Hide it. I don't want to see it again. Almost as an afterthought, she added: But if you value your lives, don't you dare sell it. With that, she rose from the steps of the wagon, squaring her shoulders and drying her cheeks, reclaiming her kaiila from the outrider with a thank you. And just like that, the proud plainswoman returned. Shall we head back to camp?
