[color=01F0FF]“If you do not wish for us to separate, then we will not.”[/color] Bowyn spoke softly to Rue and had only nodded his agreement at the extra attention the pegasus might draw. [color=01F0FF]“We’ll just have to keep ourselves well hidden here. No magic, avoid talking to anyone unless necessary.”[/color] He whispered back to Rue. A couple of winter fairies, this far south, could draw too many looks, and without wings, it was a little easier for Bowyn to hide what he was than Rue. 

[color=01F0FF]“My main concern is that Zeva will turn us all over to the dark elves if given the chance, and I do not trust Luum to do everything in his power to prevent that.”[/color] Bowyn now spoke loudly enough that Zeva and Luum would have no trouble hearing. [color=01F0FF]“And I also wonder how much we can trust a man who cannot even locate his staff to keep proper eyes on Bardulf.”[/color] He added, looking from Rue over Mister Luum directly as he spoke. Bowyn had no trouble voicing his distrust, it was a quality he credited with keeping himself alive after all. 

[color=01F0FF]“So, Bardulf, can I trust you to silence Zeva, permanently, if you suspect her of any attempt to collude with our enemies?”[/color] Bowyn addressed the human, trusting the man’s word on the matter. Bardulf had earned that trust through his willingness to work hard towards their goal, without much complaint, from the moment he’d been summoned to Avalia. If Bardulf was comfortable with the argument Luum had suggested, then Bowyn had no further argument over it. [color=01F0FF]“You can think it over, let us know after lunch.”[/color] He added, gesturing to himself and to Rue, making it clear that neither he nor Rue would be leaving the human’s side if Bardulf was in any way uncomfortable with it. Bardulf’s life hung just as, if not more, perilously as Rue’s or Bowyn’s should either elf let them down. 

[color=01F0FF]“I bet that bakery has honey toast.”[/color] He turned his attention back to Rue, figuring the mention of a favored food would relieve some of the stress of being in such a crowded city. He then reached into his pocket to rouse the stoat he assumed was sleeping there only to find his pocket now empty. 

[color=01F0FF]“Raze?[/color] He called the stoat’s name, slightly confused. [color=01F0FF]“Food time![/color] He spoke the other word the stoat knew better than his own name, assuming wherever the mischievous creature had wound up, he’d come running for food. 

The stoat’s head popped up out of the bag Zeva carried, his cheeks full and puffy as he fervently chewed at whatever was in his mouth in an attempt to hide the evidence. A pair of beady eye’s looked innocently from Bowyn to Rue as Raze continued his chewing. Raze licked his mouth and front paws once his mouth was again empty. [color=067878]“Food?”[/color] The stoat repeated the word with unmatchable enthusiasm. [color=067878]“Food, where?”[/color]

[color=01F0FF]“You just ate.”[/color] Bowyn accused the not quite a pet. 

[color=067878]“No.”[/color] Raze insisted. Then the stoat’s head disappeared back into Zeva’s bag only to pop back up a moment later with an ama between his teeth. [color=067878]“Found shinies!”[/color] Raze insisted as if he was doing something helpful rather than stealing mouthfuls of rations. 

[color=01F0FF]“Well look at that Rue, we’re rich now, he’s got a whole ama for us.”[/color] Bowyn added kleptomaniac stoat to his list of things that could possibly cause trouble for them in Roshmi City. [/color]
