[b]Melina And Mithera[/b]
Melina took another long sip of the drink she had ordered from the bartender, grumbling about how the courier was almost an hour late now. She didn't like Acalypha Town one bit, it was far too flashy for her tastes, and the alcohol didn't taste very good at all. Mithera rubbed her neck against her to indicate she wanted a sip. Melina sighed, and held the drink up to the tiny dragon perched on her shoulder. [i]They're still watering down all the drinks here.[/i] She complained halfheartedly. [i]They could make a killing in this town tripling the price and not watering it down. I swear. If I cared enough, I'd have you walk to the next town over. Their rum is at least not watered down.[/i] Melina simply chuckled at her partners discomfort. That was most of the reason she visited this town, to annoy her. It was a small aggravation, so it wasn't too bothersome, and it was fun for both of them. Mithera had her own share of jokes she often played on Melina.

"Where's the damn courier though? He's well more than an hour late." Melina pulled out the small vial of Mayt's blood she had managed to attain. She had gone well out of her way to get it, all the way to Magnolia town and then some! "I hope your plan pays off Mithera." This was greeted with chuckling. [i]Don't worry, I know exactly what I'm doing, though, if this courier doesn't get here in the next thirty minutes, I may claw out his eye. I don't like being this far behind schedule.[/i] Melina nodded, giving her drink one last go before simply switching to water. She put the vial of Mayt's blood back in her pocket, and thumbed the letter sticking out of of her belt. Mithera had dictated what Melina was to pen out, it was the next step of the plan according to Mithera, but Melina doubted the ploy in the letter would help. If Mayt hadn't secretly gone to someone yet, he will after this.

Speaking of the pawn, Melina decided it was about time to check up on him. She closed her eyes, searching down his blood through all the other people she was intentionally, and unintentionally, keeping track of. She pulled out the map she kept folded up where no man could look without getting slapped, and laid it out on the table. She ran her finger over it and stopped at Magnolia Town. She opened her eyes, checking, and nodding before folding the map back up and putting it away. Mayt was doing as he was told so far. Melina sincerely hoped Mithera knew what she was doing.

[b]Mayt[/b]
Mayt rubbed his head, sighing, and asking Jarvis for the stiffest drink he had. He just wanted to get away from this whole ordeal for even a few minutes. Not caring if it resulted in a horrible headache in the morning. Forgetting for a short time, and not worrying, was what he wanted to do. He crossed his fingers that Master Jamie would find the blackmailer quickly as he went to finish his current glass before Jarvis got him a new one. His mind wandered, and he wondered what Sasha was up to right now.
