Kayla cursed softly as she picked up her pace, narrowly avoiding running into the other people in the market in her effort to put much distance between herself and her pursuers, glad once again she had picked up a cloak. Flipping up the hood, pulling it down so it covered most of her face, she ripped away the partial blindfold that made it hard for others to see her eyes but thin enough she could see somewhat through the fabric. Sight unhindered anymore, she moved fluidly, even though the shouting indicated that her pursuents were headed the same way and gaining quickly. She located and stepped into the Inn, stepping off to the side to relax and calm herself before seeming to float to the stairs just as a group of soldiers stomped in demanding to know if the owner had seen a young woman in a specific, veiled dress. She glanced at the numerous doors and sighed softly, half debating on just knocking on the doors one on one.

Hunter turned to Klia, he planned to buy all that fruit. Well then, I guess stealing was kind of passe' and ways. "Fine, I guess we can buy the fruit." Hunter chuckled. "You know, I use to steal all the time - breaking the aw was kind of my life. Now, I feel I no longer need to degrade myself." Hunter smiled and approached the door. "Well, there must be a way to get you your throne... maybe in that regard it will require some of.... my... services." Hunter looked down at the ground and at the door. "I will check up on the screams, please, stay here where it is safe." Hunter nodded and swung open the door, there was a women just standing their. "Ummm..." Hunter displayed a most confused expression. "Did you need something?"

She glanced up, slightly tugging the edge of the hood down, and watched him warily. "I was looking for the storyteller. I wish to speak with him." She spoke softly, her voice a soft soprano. As she stepped forward a few feet, she raised the question, "Do you know where I could find him?" She dearly hoped he did, she had waited for the right time to seek him out and at this point, she was not going to be let down if she could not locate him.

Klia smiled gently to Hunter. "Sometimes one must do dishonest things to get by.." He shrugged slightly, and shook his head. "My young brother will be a good king, I do not need a throne to be happy." He frowned just slightly as Hunter moved to the door, nodding slightly as Hunter told him to remain there, where it was safe. A soft blush rose to Klia's cheeks and he could not find a reason for it. He merely ducked his head, nodding again. Hunter had opened the door and apparently someone was on the other side of it. Klia was on his feet in an instant, his desert robe pulled tightly about him and the hood thrust up over his head, and tugged down a bit. Making sure the shadow hid his golden eyes. Apparently it was a female, and she was asking about him.

For a few moments, Klia was silent, then softly he spoke. "I think it will be alright to let her in.." He seemed slightly uncertain though. Hunter seemed determined to protect him from anything that might be a threat, and he doubted the boy would agree to letting in a stranger. Klia chewed his bottom lip softly.

Hunter let show a nasty grin, "I know not of a story teller." Hunter smiled slightly, he was not technically lying. Klia was a prince. Hunter slid his and into his back pouch, revealing a small knife - used to cut the strings of a woman's purse mostly or other cloth. "If you do insist on some story teller - I would suggest you do it else where. I am in no mood for such rabble." Hunter let out a small grin and took a few steps back. Closing the door behind himself he locked it and threw the key into a plants pot. Sighing deeply Hunter turned to Klia, "Come, we must go - she will attract slave drivers." Hunter thought back to her appearance. Her facial cloth had a tear of sorts... Hunter thought he saw a silver eye. "Klia, what do you know of silver eyes?" Hunter packed up some towels and soaps from the room and crammed them into the satchel on his back. It could hold no more. Grabbing Klia's hand Hunter made his way to the window. "Who is jumping out first?"

-:I totally didn't mean to peace out on the game like I did :( Sorry. I'm a bit frazzled with work right now. I'm gonna drop out for a while and I'll catch up later. Sorry, guys :( :-

][It's okay Squidie. You know there's always gonna be a spot for you whenever your ready <3][


Klia was a little surprised at the way Hunter was acting towards the girl at the door. He frowned deeply, biting his lip and keeping silent. For a few moments he seemed a little uncertain, just watching Hunter when the young man closed the door and tossed the key aside into a plant's pot. "You did not need to be so rude to the girl.." Klia was still frowning, but he had thrown up his hood and his face was once again hidden. His brow furrowed slightly. "I know only that silver eyes are considered mystical..as if the eye itself holds a magical power.." He had shrugged slightly, watching as Hunter moved about and shoved things into his pack, when Hunter grabbed his hand, Klia felt another blush rising to his cheeks. He looked from Hunter to the window, still frowning. "Jump? That would certainly call attention to us...I do not think that girl is a danger to us...You are being very...overprotective." Klia had sounded just a bit uncertain..He didn't want to seem ungrateful for Hunter's help or hurt the young man's feelings.

Hunter smiled at Klia and placed his hands on his hood. "Klia, I want to see you make it home in one piece. Unharmed if at all possible." hunter smiled and slowly pulled the hood down, allowing him to see Klia's face again. "If you want her to come along then I do have an idea." Hunter smirked slightly and approached the door. "You jump out the window, Ill take this girl and cause a diversion in front of the building." Hunter smiled, approaching Klia he pulled the hood up over his head. "Please be careful Klia." Hunter nodded again and went over to the door, using a small knife to open it. Hunter was unsure if Klia would jump though, so their was only on thing to do.

Turning to the window Hunter raised his hand, "Here we go - no going back now." Hunter laughed opening his hand fully a wicked wind tore through the room, blowing out the window and throwing the glass into the building over, no one was injured but it caused a scene for sure. "Go Klia!" Swinging open the door Hunter ran by the girl, grabbing her hand and dragging her with him. "I have your story teller, just be silent and run. But make no mistake, I will end you if I even think you mean him harm." Hunter turned to the woman and his face was dead serious. Quickly though he got back on task, "You meet the storyteller behind the building and get him out of here safely." Throwing his hand back and opening it once more strong winds whipped at the girl, blowing her a vast distance around the building. She should be unharmed if she did not panic. Hunter laughed and raised both of his arms. "I dont think I have ever used so much magic so quickly before, not for a long time." Hunter whispered under his breathe before unleashing a ferocious wind that whipped up clothing and dust alike. It created a large shroud that would allow the woman and Klia to escape. After such quick castings Hunter felt a strong need to rest. Yet, there was no time - still much more t do to ensure Klia would get away.

Hunter fell to his knees for a moment before pulling himself back to his feet, running through the strong dust devil he had created he covered his mask in a veil. It let him see somewhat through the whipping sands, which also wore down the skin in a painful way. Many guards and slave drivers could be seen - hopefully Klia hit the ground running.

Thinking back to the room as Hunter crept from house to house to avoid being spotted he could not help but think back to Klia, thinking he was overprotective. "Oh Klia." Hunter chuckled silently as several guards ran by. "We will have to discuss this all after we meet up." Hunter lept over several obstacles as he drew his small knife. "I'm coming..."

Kayla snorted at his threat, he was but a kitten compared to her father. But, she had gained much insight about the person opening the door. She had nearly walked away though before being grabbed and dragged away by the one who had answered the door. The wind magic had blown her away, but not as far as it intended by its user. She scowled greatly even as she followed him, glad for her second sight this time. An interesting ability she had discovered was that each human being carried a certain kind of aura, a special imprint unique to that person alone, and she had been gifted with the ability to see this imprint. She traced it, keeping a decent distance away that she could still see him, but he could not see her, not that he was making it hard to follow him either, what with that ruddy dust devil.
She probably could have just followed the trail left by the other one, this 'Klia' he was protecting, but the trail was less solid for her, plus this way she knew she could tell her story only once. She had what they needed; money, plus, based on what stories she had heard, this Prince was hoping to catch the ears of the royals.

Klia's chest felt tight and if asked, he could not accurately explain or name what he was feeling. A myriad of emotions, but Klia hid them all so well. When Hunter pulled his hood away, Klia continued to frown. A light blush on his cheeks from Hunter's closeness, and his heart seemed to speed up just a little. "You are being to rash.." He mumbled softly as Hunter pulled his hood back up and left him standing there. Klia watched the young man, his heart felt heavy all of a sudden, but for what reason he did not know. Everything was happening so quickly, the window burst open, and then Hunter was dashing out the door with that girl. "Wait!" He had called and reached out, but Hunter was already gone.

There was nothing for him to do except that which was expected of him. Hunter expected him to jump out the window. Taking a deep breath, Klia climbed onto the window sill, careful of any glass still there and leaped. He held his hood with one hand, Klia hit the ground and rolled..as if he had experience with jumping out of windows..He came up from the roll and into a run almost fluidly. With all the dust, it wasn't hard for Klia to slip around and behind the building unnoticed. There he would remain..his back pressed against the building and a hand pressed to his chest, above his heart. He would wait. Not really sure what else he was to do. Hunter hadn't really given him very good instructions.

Hunter swerved in and out of the buildings sloppily, not caring at all to be stealthy in the least. Jumping out of the window of the last home he spotted Klia a distance away. Using some more wind he gave himself a quick boost, allowing him to get to Klia much faster. "Klia," Hunter instantly scanned Klia's body for any injuries, though, Hunter got caught up in his inspection. Quickly shaking his head he got back on task. "Have you seen that weird girl?" Hunter shuddered at the thought of that girl, she was just, ugh. Hunter did not want to bring her along - he did not like her. She seemed to arrogant for a quite girl. "Come Klia." Hunter walked ahead and pulled some leftover bread from his satchel. "That weird girl will follow us so we can keep moving." Hunter thought back to that weird silver eye, certain his mother told him some story about it. His mother was extremely well versed, not to mention, her magic was unprecedented. It was on a whole different level then any other magic user.

Hunter pushed thought of his mother to the side, siding his attention with Klia. "What direction shall we head in?" Hunter pulled down the veil he had used, cramming it into his shirt. "Let us keep in mind that woman is following us."

Klia was relieved when he saw Hunter coming to him. For a brief moment he wondered where the girl was, blushing slightly as Hunter seemed to be looking him over. "I do not think all of that was necessary." Klia was frowning beneath his hood and watching Hunter almost carefully. When Hunter walked ahead, Klia hesitated a few moments before following behind. His robe closed tightly about him and his hood pulled down low over his face. When he was asked which direction to go, he just shrugged slightly. "That depends...where do you want to go?" His head tilted to the side slightly as he kept his eyes on Hunter.
