Always walking...

[Terasha Kurash]

"Nowhere to go but up," she commented with a dry smile. "Haven't the slightest, for now." She was still looking for a way to wriggle in through the cracks and end up on top. How to go about this was another matter completely. She was hanging on a few different rumors from around, and her choices were more than limited. Somehow, somewhere, something had to come up that would direct her where to go.[/color]

"Well, we could get married? Settle down? I know a way we could earn ourselves a lot of money. I still have quite a bit left over even after we paid for this lovely wine. We could afford a lovely home!" Though most thieves merely spent up all their earnings at once, Damien had been saving. He was actually getting quite wealthy from all of his saved up thefts. Though he did often give to the needy and was always spending a great deal on Aru.

So this was how it was going to go? Think fast, think fast. Stalling. That's what it was. She still had rumors to chase. Because if there was one way to make it big on A'Dense, it was going to be this. (Aside from becoming a god or winning this northern war. That didn't count. She had neither the time nor the patience.) "Don't you want to have one last big adventure first?" she asked honestly, eyes alight. She could stall until her plan was through, at least, surely! Besides, this sort of thing would make her one of the most powerful people in the land.

An alliance with the Thieves' Guild would be just the thing. Sure, she wasn't much of a theif. But she thought perhaps she could easily manipulate someone who was going for the position. "There's a rumor going around," she whispered, revealing her wicked plot. "The king of thieves has left his position to chase after some girl to Tefenus. I have an old acquaintance who's rumored to be working for the position." Everyone knew that making someone who was on the current ruler of that Guild's A list would be rolling in riches as they were for a while, especially if business in Micae was good.

"Here's the choice. This was a detour, across the land as far south as it goes, meaning less boat time," she put on an innocent face. "Please? For me? Once we're settled down, we'll never get this chance again. And if we don't, it might be hard going. I have a feeling this lady's going to make it in that world. And if we can, as well, we would be set."[/color]

"Well.... Alright, I suppose this will be the only chance we get to do something intresting. But I don't want you to get hurt." Damien frowned and grabbed her hand. "We need to be careful.... Wait.... WHAT!?" Damien had jumpte to his feet and his eyes were the picture of shock and even a bit of incredulous anger. "The Thieves guild? Are you mad? You don't make deals with thieves! That's why they're thieves! They don't play nice! Aru you can't be serious! Not only do you want to make a deal with them, you want to stage a coup! That's far too dangerous! I don't know... what I'd do if I lost you."

[Aru]

Oh, yes. How sad. But she'd thought this through. "This one owes me. And besides, she's deathly afraid of anyone with magic. Remember, I'm a sorceress. Which is the entire reason she'll need me on her side. Not only does she owe me a favor, but however much she mistrusts magic she's smart enough to know that she needs it on her side. You see, I knew her growing up." It wouldn't be too hard to manipulate her, threaten her with magic. Not too hard at all. "And she'll be perfect protection." After all, that one could kill anything that moved which didn't possess some sort of magic to completely catch her off guard. They balanced each other out.[/color]

[Damien]

"We... but... grrrrnnnnnn.....eeeeeeeeennnnn..!" He couldn't say no. "Fine.... fine. I'll go with you. But if this gets too dangerous we are pulling out! We're going to regret this..." Damien sipped the wine with a resigned look on his face. He loved her, how could he say no? It looked like she had her heart set on this.

[Aru]

"Good. Then it's settled. We'll have to set off for Zoreale soon. She moves around there for her home, and she should be returning soon. If word gets around, we'll pinpoint her easily. After all, someone has to warn their children to stay far, far away from her." She gave that smile she was famous for in places she left, the one that spelt trouble. Another one of those getting to the top schemes was on its way.[/color]

[Damien]

"Brilliant...." Damien sighed and raised his glass in a resigned manner. "...Cheers..."
{{Um... yeah so where do we move to or what?}}

[Aru]

((Alright with me.))

[Niv-Mizzet the Firemind]

{{Cool.}}

[Deia]

((Rumors thread maders. =D Not going to close this. Others are in here doing.... other things. >.>))

[Nekaro]

((So, have you guys moved? Am I, like, the only one who's still here? :sweat: ))
