[h1][center][color=gold]Li Renverick[/color][/center][/h1] The day was going well for Li, she had managed to secure a very fine bottle of Wolfsennger ale that she had been eyeing up for a while now, she had followed a merchant back to his house and waited for at least 3 days before she could finely get inside and wrap her fingers around it -after she pestered a mage she knew enough to use magic to make it ice cold she sat on her favourite window ledge in the market place. It was two storeys high and was well situated so that she could both hear the musicians below play the music above the hustle and bustle of the crowd, and get a refreshing view of the city - that coupled with her new favourite drink - she was very happy. Of course though, happiness is fleeting and it was mere moments into her bottle that the mass of refugees first made their way into the Capital - the news did not take long to hit the market place and before long the music stopped and peoples business became a secondary concern, this was a long feared scenario since the eerie silence that fell upon the south lands, but one that people thought could never actually occur. Li was not one to care much for the goings on in the country - so long as she could get by and do what she did best; she was happy - but this, this made her brow furrow with concern. --- That was a couple of days ago now, since then things have just gotten worse, the number of refugees that have came since then seems almost endless; there were a lot of survivors but the stories they told would make you think that very few could survive such an event, the tales of the southerners strength was not exaggerated, had they been weak - its doubtful any would have survived the onslaught. Li was waiting today, with a fair bit of anticipation for a royal decree by the king - it would dictate something of great import to do with the threat in the south - she sat on a wall nearby the castle gates awaiting the address. It felt like an eternity, there's very few things that go slowly for Li when she waits for something; typically its mid robbery that she must wait, or when shes tracing a mark, but that time flies by- this Was a drag, she was passing the time by juggling one of her daggers before the address finally arrived. It ordained pretty much what she and many others here in this courtyard had thought would occur, those whom were brave; or stupid enough could offer their arms to discover more about this entity that ravaged the south. Li was the least likely here to offer anything to this, she was a thief, what could she possibly offer that anyone else here could not? But still…. She’d rather have a long life full of happiness rather than a short one with a gruesome end, if she joined some of these people, maybe she could help stop what was happening, and then, then she could start stealing stuff again. She gave wry smile to herself at that reasoning, flawed as flawed comes, but still it was better than nothing. She jumped off the wall and sheathed the dagger she was playing with, looking for a nice group of people she could go with; it didn’t take her long to spot quite a large group of varied people that were chatting with one another, seemed as good as any to go with. As she stepped up to them she gave a small wave and stated her buisness [color=gold]”Umm, Hi, my name is Li Renverick, this seems like a pretty important mission that has been given out, I can’t just sit by and let others do the saving without helping as much as I can…. My… erm”[/color] She gave a nervous scratch behind her head before continuing [color=gold] Occupation, yeah, means that I’m pretty good at staying unseen when I want to be, I’d make for a pretty decent scout I thought…”[/color] She finished with a nervous chuckle, hopefully no one here knew what she really was; it’d be kinda awkward; better yet she hoped she hasn’t actually stolen from anyone here.
