Sieg's home away from home

[Sieg]

Well, at least on o them.

Sieg has plenty o these little "homes" in the sewers, each really hard to get to unless you know how to get in. This particular one has a bunch of rubble in front o it with a vey small hole, one Sieg slips into and out o after using something he set up to widen the hole a bit. Then ya get to a stone wall behind the rubble, with a little room. Ya could call it a room only because the rubble makes up three out o the four walls. There's a secret door in that wall, though, one that Sieg knows the trick to. Behind that is the real room.

=Sieg leads Henne through the tunnels until he gets here. He helps her into the area behind the rubble, then fiddles with the wall until it slides open. Grinning, he gestures for her to go in first.=

[Rumerin]

*She crawls in and looks around*

Neat!

*Looks around and waits for Sieg to come in too*

=Sieg comes in and pulls the latch on the inside of the room. The wall slides shut and Sieg grins, as usual.=

"Lady's grace, Henne. Got anythin'?"

[Rumerin]

Same to you. Yeah, just bits an' pieces really.

*Thinks*

There was two guys I saw. One called Kaitan, the other Kristoph. Kaitan is younger, and a bit creepy. He's also blind. Kristoph said he was innkeeper. They were nice, but a bit careful. I didn't see nothing of the order itself.

I snuck about a bit after Kristoph'd put me to bed. Got to Kaitan's room. Found some personal things- he's from Benalia he is, and noble too. Found a picture of him, he didn't used to look so scary.

*Thinks*

Then he caught me. I don't know how. He can't have seen me. He wasn't even looking at me, and I was hiding anyways. Still caught me, he did. He said something about ghosts there. Pretended to believe me too by the way- gave him standard excuse.

=Sieg listens and memorizes all of this to report to Rum. He grins.=

"Great job, cutter. Rum'll be pleased with some o this, I'm sure.

Well, go back if ya think ya ain't in trouble with them. If ya think it would be to dangerous...

Oh, here."

=Sieg goes to one corner of the room and gathers some candy and 5 silver. He comes back and hands those to her.=

"There ya go. Want me to take ya back or lead ya home?"

[Rumerin]

Huh? Rum?

I dunno. Not going back might give more trouble... I don't think they're the kind to hurt cute little girls.

*Grins, takes the candy and the silver*

Thanks. I dunno. Well... Ya see, I told 'em I had a mom waiting for me somewhere, and he actually went out to find her. Difficult with her countin' worms and all, but if he finds out about that? What would you do?

=Sieg grins.=

"Friend o mine."

=Sieg thinks.=

"Well, if they don't want to hurt ya, then what they gonna do if they find out ya lyin'? Don't see much threat. Gettin' caught is bad, though. Well, ya can cut losses and give em the laugh or give em the laugh if they catch on. If they catch ya, it won't matter much. I'll get ya out."

[Rumerin]

Oki, I'll go back then. Ya never know, might find out more.

*Puts her money in her pocket*

Oh- I think this Kaitan guy is a vampire. He got real creepy teeth. And he didn't want me to see.

Don't forget to get me out, okay? I really don' wanna get stuck in that place by myself.

*She takes a deep breath and grins again*

I should get back.

"Vamp? Wow, that was important."

=Sieg throws her another silver. He grins.=

"I won't Styx, don't worry."

=Sieg nods and leads her back out of the sewers.=

[Kaitan]

Kaitan follows Henne's trail to the rubble. He finds the hole with one hand. He pulls his arm back and dissolves into smoke. The dark gas slips though the hole and becomes Kaitan again.

Kaitan feels around the walls, especially the one "real" wall. He slides his claws up and down any cracks in the mortar or brickwork. Finding nothing, he searches for other trails. He finds one that he had noticed while following Henne's trail, but hadn't paid attention to.

He exits the room the same way he entered and follows the new trail through the tunnels.

[Rumerin]

*Some small amount of money appears in the hidden room, a small Nightshade flower lying on top of the pouch. Weekly pay.*

[Sieg]

=Sieg sees the pouch and grins, going over to count his new jink. He plays with one of the coins, rolling it over his knuckles as he thinks about things. He blinks, just realizing that he finally knew something about that symbol in the sewers. That vamp had that symbol 'round his neck! Sieg grinned, deciding to report to Rum tomorrow.=
