For a brief moment the thief was startled by the noise. His dark clothing and the fact that there was almost no light to speak of helped keep him hidden, but there was nothing here to hide behind. "I received the same invitation you apparently did, yes." the thief replied to Zayric. He opened the door just slightly and peered out. He decided that Tikaani and her animal didn't look particularly dangerous and opened the door completely. "Come in. The fact that we're meeting in a place like this is a strong indicator that they don't want us standing out in the open."

The White Lotus representative was slightly shaken at Jalika's question. "We may not be the organization we once were, but we still have eyes and ears in more than a few places, you see. Please understand, while we would never spy, per se, when we're in serious need of new members, we have our ways. We're aware that you've been single-handedly protecting this grove, and for quite some time no less. That is no small feat. Your reputation is what led us to reach out to you."
The White Lotus member who had been sent after Kavi rushed after him and handed him the address and instructions on how to get there. As he took off, he shouted "And whatever you do, make sure you don't tell anybody we sent you!"
The thief made his way to the part of town where the temple was supposed to be. It was too bad that a temple here had been forced to shut down, as it seemed as if this part of the city could have sorely used whatever charity it had to offer. The buildings were shoddily made and looked old and decrepit despite this being a relatively new part of the city. Everything was dirty. This was none of the thief's concern, however. He stuck to the shadows and slowly moved towards the temple, avoiding open places where he might be seen. The people of a community like this were probably used to his kind, and the law most likely wouldn't come to this part of town quickly if his presence were reported, but he didn't want to take any risks. He used homes with no lights on, which were situated away from the main street as his cover. The lack of light kept him unseen until he reached the temple. As he came within view of it, he saw that someone was already there, a woman riding a large animal. This was a good sign, but he didn't want to be seen yet. He turned back and moved into the shadows again, this time moving for the small wooded area that was just behind the temple. He moved behind the trees and reached the back of the temple where, thankfully for him, there was a back door which was well out of anyone's eyesight. He walked in and, instead of going into the basement, walked directly to the front door.
From inside of the temple, Tikaani could hear a voice. "Did someone claiming to be the White Lotus contact you as well?" it asked.

I think I'm going to bring my own character in ahead of schedule to get Tikaani and Zayric able to do something.
@Akayaofthemoon You're welcome. I'm sorry I couldn't say more but yeah, I haven't exactly been in your situation and you seem to have a pretty decent handle on things. I guess I'll just say that, like I said above, I really am rooting for you and definitely want the best possible outcome for you, for what that's worth.
@Akayaofthemoon I wish I could do more for you than offer you a positive place you can come to for support. Everyone here cares about you and is rooting for you, and even if we can't really help you in a material way, hopefully venting to us helps a little bit. I'm glad you know your family loves you a lot and I hope remembering that will be a positive thing for you, and even though you've heard it before, things do get better.
@Akayaofthemoon It's cool if you don't want to talk about it but know that I've got your back.
Things got really silent suddenly. Are we done with the collab?
@The Kraken Thank you and there's no rush, I understand how difficult things can be when you're sick.
@rocketrobie2 Awesome, you or heart should totally initiate it then. How do you think it should work though? You had Zayric already be in the basement but the way you phrased that post made it sound like it was taking place in the future relative to everyone else, so maybe Tikaani could have showed up at around the same time and spotted him in the temple courtyard?

Hm I was planning on having the people waiting inside the temple talk to Zayric but I think I'll wait and see if Rocket Robie likes that idea better.
Hey maybe Tikaani and Zayric could meet.
