Velen kept a clam look. ?Normally a thief doesn?t leave with words of intrigue. They don?t tell a person to meet them somewhere and then also have the theft called a test. We came here to ask why, Vergil, as Tobias called you. Who exactly are you??
"Well that is hard to say, some would call me an enigma, others mysterious. Anyway, what I meant to say was that little display was a test of my skills, not yours, so there was no need to worry, Velen Majl. Yes, I know of you, that scar you possess is very distinguishable." Vergil replied to Velen, he then cocked his head towards the younger man.
"You, judging by the white hair and tattered attire of a noble, your Lorel Ion. My condolences to you about that terrible tragedy that fell upon your house, your father was a interesting person in of himself". Vergil told him in a suave tone of voice.
?Ok.? Scarlett remarked distracted by something on her mind. ?I?ll go with you.?
Vergil replied to the sudden anger in Velen's voice, he spoke calmly to him and to Lorel.
"Very little. It was Lorel's father who had hired me to obtain some sensitive information for him and his compatriots, the Steel Heart faction. Yes, I knew of your family's connections, it is a noble goal that they seek, to bring down a corrupt regime. It seems I was referred to him by a senior member of the Steel Heart from some work I did with them directly about a fortnight ago."
"If your father Lorel; had taken better care of hiding the information I provided him, or had at least let me deal with its destruction, why he and the rest of your family would still be alive to this day." He had finished speaking with the two of them, he then spoke directly to Lorel.
"Technically, with your father dead Lorel, you would of inherited his seat within the Noble court. It is more than likely now that Amelia Foel has rescinded your claim, and replaced you with someone that can be more easily controlled, like a puppet." Vergil further added in a snide manner.
?You dare insult my father you thief!? Lorel rushed at him, but Velen put out his arm and stopped Lorel. ?Velen!?
?Lorel, calm yourself. Vergil, we have no idea what happened or how the information was leaked. If anything a person from the inside betrayed us. But what I am still worried about is you. How did you know we were here, and what do you want??
Scarlett stepped out onto the street and took a quick look around. All was clear.
?It was? Interesting to say the least.?
Something was bugging Scarlett. It gnawed at the back of her mind but failed to emerge into a clear thought.
?Tell me Vessel. If your gift from the Gods is to create balance then do you think there might be someone out there with the opposite. To create chaos? I mean the Gods seem to pretty keen on karma.?
"I would hold your tongue boy. I have many hands in many pockets, and information on your location can easily pass from one hand to another." He responded to Lorel's outburst.
"I did not know that you two were here in Grim, I just happened upon you by coincidence. Funny thing about coincidence, I seem to be running into a small trail of it recently. As for what I want, well that is an interesting question, to be honest, I don't know." He replied to Velen's query in a jovial manner. He then rose from his seat, and walked to the other end of the room.
Velen moved back and sat down in one of the various chairs, and the nodded for Lorel to do the same and he did to. ?Vergil, how about we just, are silent about this. You keep your pockets closed, and we can both go away unhurt.? He felt like he was repeating his self often quite lately. First with the Mage Hunter, then with Vergil, twice.
Basically bribing people into silencing their mouths. ?But I must ask, just out of curiosity, do you have anything to do with that massacre that took place recently??
Should I ask about Yias? Does she know of her? And why didn?t Lorel?s father, Hongi, not tell me of this man?
Telnor- Grim
Telnor sat at a table at a tavern, four empty mugs sat in front of him and he held a fifth in his hand. Damn that woman. Sakne I'm so sorry. I'm sorry I wasn't a better leader, that I couldn't protect you like I promised. Nicon I'm sorry that I let your brother die. I'm so SORRY . Telnor placed his head on the table. He banged his fist on the table making the mugs jumped. Maybe I should help Vergil. Maybe just maybe I can make up for my past mistakes. Telnor stood up, throw down 200 Kiel onto the table for the beer and stumbled out of the tavern. He stumbled along the streets of Grim occasionally stopping to ask directions to The Eternal Mist Finally he was close to the inn, and as he got closer he saw Scarlet and Vessel standing outside.

"Very well, I'll shall keep my mouth shut, and pockets sealed on the matter. As for your query about the massacre at Harold Nehelem's Estate, I was there, but did not take part in the massacre, I was dealing with some long over due business". Vergil replied to Velen's query as he looked out the window, noticing both The Vessel and Scarlett outside the Inn, off in the distance he could Telnor following drunkenly behind the others.
"It seems I have other guests." He remarked.
?We?ll enter through the front.? Scarlett smiled warmly. ?In my experience the back usually has the most guards, and I have the suspicion Vergil?s choice of venue is anything but an ordinary Inn, we might as well act normal and besides Vergil chose this place right? So it must be safe enough to enter.?
Scarlett closed her eyes and mapped the area for sound. Nothing unusual. Walking casually around to the Inn door she pulled it open, and stepped inside.
?Velen, we probably should head back to the Tower soon, Itsuka maybe waiting for us.? Lorel spoke softly to Velen.
?Yes, we shall. Though it being roughly halfway to 1, I doubt she is finished with all of her deeds.?
Then Velen turned to Vergil. ?Vergil, would you like us to leave before meeting with your next guests??
When he saw Vergil and the two gentlemen head upstairs, Tobias disengaged the energy he was storing, and carried on with his duties. It was roughly half an hour later when two women entered the Inn.
"Good afternoon ladies, welcome to The Eternal Mist, one of Grim's best kept Inns. Now what can I do for you?" Tobias asked them in a charming manner.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Certainly, I'm sure you two have other matters that need completing. Should you need my services, ask Tobias how best to contact me should I not be here. Good day to you." Vergil replied to Velen, and then briefly bowed at them.
Scarlett?s concentration faltered when the Vessel took her hand. As such she only managed to hear a few words from the area around Vergil.
Velen. Tower. Itsuka.
It was enough. Scarlett had been mapping the sound of the Inn from the moment she stepped in with her gift. It had taken a split second to find Vergil upstairs and his, unusual guests.
?I?m going to be blunt. Take me to Vergil.? She remarked to the man who had approached them.
Tobias The Innkeeper - The Eternal Mist - Grim
"Has Vergil become Mr. Popular or something, besides, he's upstairs, and judging by the sound of it his business is finished with the two gentlemen he had earlier". Tobias, not affected by what was transpiring, gestured upstairs.
