Viridiana did not say a word the rest of the night with Azoth. She ate in silence. Knowing his addiction was probably getting to him by now. Hell, Vi could no even bring herself to look up to the men. Instead she ate. Even when he broke the silence, she did not respond. It still amazed her how he seemed to read her mind. Even something so minor, and unlikely as that. Maybe to a point he could read her mind. Not that Vi honestly wanted to know. It was nice to know she at least had her thoughts. She finished her bowl, going into the kitchen to clean it. Not saying another word. There was nothing to say after all. In the other room she heard him leave. Knowing right away he was probably going to visit one of his many brothel's, or Faith. At least she hoped he would not see Faith. The woman was poisoned after all...
----
She had settled into the room quite nicely. It was a typical inn room complete with a conopy bed, large tub and two small windows. A fire place rested at the end of the room with rocks along the bottom to heat a bath. Fernandez asked for a bit of food, and both to be brought up to her room. Fernandez started a fire while water was brought up to the bath in bucket. It was cold of coarse, but to Fernandez that was not a problem. It would take some time for the rocks to eat up. In the mean time she undressed. Taking her knives out and setting them around the room in varies places. A trick she learned long ago. If someone were to attack her in the middle of the night, she had blades hidden everywhere to help her. Fernandez did leave her sword, pistol and side daggers on the table where a tray of meat, fruit, bread, cheese and a bottle of wine laid. For it being so late, Fernandez tipped the girl who brought everything to her handsomely. Knowing the poor young girl was probably working overtime by now.
The fire started to roar, heating the rocks enough for Fernandez to drop them into the tub. The wound on her back had stopped bleeding long ago, making it nothing to worry about. At least for that moment. The water heated fast, as she added a few rose scented oils, spices, and something extra to cleanse herself before climbing in. Leaning against the wall of the tub. The stone tub was separated from the rest of the room by a long ornate throw. It was there so whoever walked into the room could not see her right away.
While relaxing, her mind drifted to the event of the day. It had been a long day. Waking up train a few of her sisters, moving on to the markets to take out a hit. Meeting Kage who was her own little enjoyment, continuing by killing another noble. Always fun work, Taking out some members of the tiger clan. Not to mention the emotional aspects of the evening. But Fernandez did her best to shield herself from them. Resting her head on the back of the stone tub on a towel. Closing her eyes she felt the poison leaving her body. Being killed off by the heat in the water. The water was steaming in fact it was so hot. A bit of sweat formed at her forehead, but that was good. The point in fact.
She had been laying in the tub for a while before she started to clean her body. Washing the make-up from her face to reveal the beautiful tree branch like tattoos. Her hair had been pinned tightly back. Fighting with the pins and clips, Fernandez dropped them to the floor for the time being as she took a dip under the water. Her long blond hair fell to about her mid back. Then suddenly there came a knock at her door. Fernandez turned towards the door, still in the water.
"Entrar (enter)" She spoke sitting up now. Her arm rested on the side of the tub as she looked towards the door. Although because of her petite form the large tub seemed to swallow her whole. As Kage came in, she smiled slightly. Realizing how long she had lost track of time. Then again one person filling a tub.. that took a very long time. "Good Evening Kage." She spoke to him. Motioning for him to take a seat at the table if he wished so. Fernandez was not embarrassed at her current.. position. Why should she be? It was not like that were both Virgins after all.
As he entered the room, Fernendez could tell something had happened, something was on his mind. It was in his eyes. It was like looking at a painting. Seeing the confusion and frustration in his eyes. Of coarse she would not bring it up unless he asked.
"Did you find anything?" She asked. A general question, but she was speaking about the job. Half expecting his answer to be no. Even Fang was not so stupid as to leave a clue. But still the look in his eyes. It seemed to be the look of rejection, but Fernandez could have been reading far too in to it. What is troubling you my dear...
