Liaena eyed the woman with slightly baleful intent as the latter immediately followed Sharon into the building, the younger girl trailing them both. It had taken about a minute of sharing the same air space with Specialist De'Roje Alissah for Liaena to decide that she didn’t like her. “…Hey Li” Bella, having finally released Nisha (who looked a bit put out with a grumble) sidled up to Liaena to whisper to her. Not that whispering would do any good at all given their present company of course, in a house full of Night Elves. Rithrynn in particular was walking quite close to them both. “…is that your boyfriend? Really?” Even under the circumstances, Liaena couldn’t help but feel more than a little smug at the astonishment in her peers tone, straightening her back slightly as she walked. “Yes.” “….” “…..sooo, what did you use on him?” “what?” the girl muttered as she gave Bella an odd look, only to see her waggling her eyes brows as she gave Liaena’s satchel a meaningful stare. “…I did not. Use anything. On him.” “Suuure” Liaena ground her teeth at the blatant sarcasm as she rounded on Bella, extremely sensitive of their proximity to Alissah, Sharon, Rithrynn and any other Night Elf in the house who bothered to care. “For Light’s sake, how old are you? We’ve got a job to do, in case you’d forgotten!” “Yes, quite” Liam remarked sharply from her other side, making it fairly blatant just how not-subtle their part whispered, part hissed conversation had been. “For once we’re in agreement, so focus, Silva” “…Oh come on, there’s nothing even happening yet…” After shooting a slightly surprised glance at Priest Gray as he took her side, Liaena darted forward to leave a quietly grousing Bella behind and circumvent Alissah to fall into step at Sharon’s side. Still with slightly flushed cheeks, she shot him an apologetic look as he looked down at her, before querying the numbers of people walking behind them with her eyes. “Ah…are we waiting for anyone else?”
“This – is not – the best way to travel!” Liaena hissed back, clinging on like a limpet to Rithrynn’s arm. A horse, or perhaps even a carriage would suit her better, any day of the week. There at least she had control over the vehicle, as opposed to being bundled around like a piece of luggage. She might have complained more if it were not for the presence of Bella in the immediate vicinity, conspicuously very much enjoying the ride with far more style than she was herself. “This is amaaaazing! Why don’t we have these things!?” “Would you please put your hands down!?” With a final snarl, Nisha screeched to a halt outside Graymoons mansion as she plonked her arse down into the slush sharply. Liaena was saved from going flying by Rithrynn, poised expertly in her seat, while Bella and Liam barely avoided going flying over the Night Elfs head; a move that would have resulted in them impacting the gate with some considerable velocity. “I swear to the Light, I am not riding this thing on the way back. I’d sooner have to outrun Sherpa’s forces” Liaena climbed out of the saddle with not a small amount of grump, a mood only marginally lessened by the admittedly extreme swiftness in which they had made the journey. Landing on her feet in the slush, she turned around to be confronted by three extra individuals to their party, two of which she recognised, one of which she did not. “YOU!” Smokey roared as he brought his musket around, before coughing and glancing at the mansion as he made a big show of pointing it at the ground again, occasionally shooting death glares at Liaena. “…Yer lucky I be working for dat fella of yours, ya wee rat. But there will be a reckonin’, ho yes. There will be…” Liaena blinked, before coughing slightly as she made a big show of inspecting Smokey closely. “…Oh, I’m sorry, have we met before? Hi Fran” “Evenin’ Lass” Fran responded in a trace of amusement in his tone, torn between confusion at the situation and relief that at least one of the weapons that had been pointed at him, now was not. “Did yeh get tha’ backup you wanted?” “Eh…” Liaena said vaguely, glancing over her shoulder. Bella was still cooing over Nisha as Rithrynn dragged open the gate, Liam having immediately put several meters between himself and the big cat the moment his feet touched the ground. Regardless of her feelings on the matter, the girl was inclined to feel that disavowing her companions would cause far more trouble than not. “….sorta” At that, she turned to the final person waiting at the gate, the woman she had failed to recognise. Liaena eyed her with frank suspicion as she stepped through the gate to head towards the house. “Do I know you?”
"If you really have so much pent up tension for one another, why not just kiss now and get it over with? We have a mission, and no time to rent a private bed for you two!" “….WE ARE NOT A THING, RITHRYNN!” Liaena screamed at the top of her lungs, the guard across from the road from them now wandering away shaking his head. Bella, who had ceased to struggle in Rithrynn’s firm grip, proceeded to give Liaena a very peculiar look. “…well, obviously. Ew.” Resisting the urge to kick Bella for that, or Rithrynn, or possibly both of them, Liaena folded her arms across her chest and glowered until she was finally dumped back onto her feet. The boy, apparently sensing a moment to instil some semblance of authority into the situation, scurried forward to glare in a not-very-ferocious manner and poke a finger down at the two girls. “You two should be ashamed of yourselves. How would you feel if I were to report this to Priestess Thea, exactly!?” He was met with twin deadpan you-have-got-to-be-kidding-me looks in return, before Liaena finally relented with a sigh. “Hi, Liam” “Priest Gray” “…Priest Gray. Fine.” Liaena retorted with a sigh. Mentally, she wondered what the repercussions would be if she had Rithrynn batter both of them down and returned to them to the Cathedral with a ‘returned due to faulty goods’ note. “Why are you here?” “Why am I….I’m here because Ki…Apprentice Lennox has been captured, by cultists. All because you led her into danger. Am I right!?” Liaena managed not to wince at that one, wilting slightly as Liam glowered at her. “…Right” “Right. And as I understand it, this is a time critical mission, yes? But never mind that. Let’s bicker, and whine, and fight.” Priest Gray seethed. Still being held up by Rithrynn, Bella stopped inspecting her nails for a moment to glance over at the pair. “Ooh. Burn.” “And furthermore—“ “Alright! Alright! Fine!” Liaena broke in finally. Giving the other two a final withering look – which was returned with a shrug from Bella – she turned to walk back towards Greymoons holiday home. “Lets go then. We’ll be meeting up with Rithrynn’s warband first” “…Okay. Good.” Liam said cautiously. Straightening up, one could almost see him mentally switching back into ‘responsible qualified superior’ mode as he headed after Liaena. “…This will be going on your permanent record though” “Oh goodie. That ups the average”
sorry about the slowpokeness, guys. I'll try and get a post up tomorrow evening (late).
“Li! Where’re we going!?” “The steps! I said!” Liaena peeled her face out of Rithrynn’s cloak, exposing her face to the blast of cold night air just long enough to shout back. “Where we were after the Falere thing! Yesterday!” “Ohh, Right” A few terrified evening strollers, several hairpin bends that nearly sent Liaena flying off Nisha and a mad dash later and the big cat screeched to a halt by the archway that led to the huge flight of marble steps that led down to the most affluent end of Stormwind Harbour. The place where the vast battleships and vessels of lords docked, with the simple trading ships and even fishing boats secreted away down the other end. “Okay. Just…just give me a second, would you?” was all Liaena could manage after the whirlwind ride, sliding off Nisha to step towards the archway. As she approached, Rithrynn slowly moving up behind her, a figure stepped out of the shadows to fold her arms and give her an extremely unimpressed look. Liaena returned it in kind as she glowered at the other dark haired girl. “Is this all? What’s is wrong with Thea!?” “Is **that **all!?” Bella fired back immediately, glancing over Liaena’s shoulder at Rithrynn before she gave the former an extremely worried look. “**one** Night Elf!? I thought you said you had a horde!” “I do. You’ve got no idea what you’re getting into!” Liaena hissed furiously. Glancing back at Rithrynn, she flapped a hand at her in a quick ‘stay back’ motion as she turned to her peer again. Not, she belatedly realised, would it do any good, with the fabled Night Elf hearing active. “Get out of here! Go and tell Thea to send someone more useful this time!” “Oh. Oh _thanks_, Liaena” Bella took a step back, to place her hands on her hips and narrow her eyes down at the shorter girl. “I’m _so_ sorry I’m risking my career to save Lennox’s useless ass. If you wanted someone better, maybe she should try and be more popular next time” “Would you two _stop it_—“ The third human in the rapidly developing brawl interjected angrily. This individual was a tall, slightly lanky looking man in priest robes, with an age that clearly outstripped Liaena and her ike, but nowhere near enough to be viewed as ‘mature’ in the eyes in the church white and greybeards. He was also completely ignored by Liaena, who had turned an angry shade of scarlet at Bella’s comment. “So why’d you come then Bella!? Don’t tell me you’d actually started to care about anything. It’d be a first” “I came because Thea guilt-tripped me! And reasons!” Bella spat back. Cocking her head on one side, a nasty thought clearly occurred to her with a nasty smile. “But why don’t you just go by yourself, Li. It couldn't be the Light’s not with you?” “Stop—“ **-BAM-** Liaena’s fist caught Bella squarely in the nose, who looked shocked for a second before delivering a slap across the face back. A moment later, the ‘rescue mission’ had devolved into two girls engaging in a full-on cat-fight, with a wandering guard on the other side of the road clearly wondering if it was worth his while to break up the party.
Liaena had been eying Nisha with a look of combined distrust and malevolence, the big cat cracking its jaws open in a huge uncaring yawn that showed off a highly impressive set of teeth. Upon hearing Sharons words she looked up at him, as her face formed a slight grimace. “…No. Thea…my contact said she would sort it out, but maybe we need to stop off by the Cathedral or…” “Mistress!” Serphia turned, as did Liaena to see one of the Watchers from the gate approach. From one hand there was dangling a boy, looking to be in his early teens, wearing the dull grey tunic and robes that could be identified as Cathedral servants or support staff. Having reached the group, the watcher promptly dropped the boy with a quiet ‘splat’ onto the slushy ground beneath her, where he landed on his face. “He was asking to come in, Mistress. Says he has a message for Syn’dials monkey” “Is **that** your help?” Rithrynn enquired from somewhere over Liaena’s head, sounding highly unimpressed with the situation. Liaena chose to ignore her, moving to crouch down gingerly next to the boy in the slush. “Uh. Hi, Rory. Why are you here?” “Looking for you” The boy said sullenly as he peeled his face out of the muck of the garden to give her an accusatory look. That expression quickly shifted to one of terrified compliance as Nisha padded over to sniff him, as he looked at Liaena pleadingly. “…I-I got asked to deliver a message. Nobody mentioned _tigers_” “Well, life’s a bitch” Liaena muttered tetchily, having little patience even to affect sympathy with the clock ticking and success chances slipping away by the moment. “Where is it?” “…” Even in the presence of tigers, thrift apparently won out. The two teens engaged in a staring match for a few moments before Liaena relented and fished in her pocket for a coin. Proffered a small, folded over scrap of paper in return, the girl quickly unfolded it. The brief message read as follows. _Meet you by the Steps. You suck. B_ _ “….You must be joking”_ **“SYNDIAL!”** Serphia’s voice thundered, sounding deeply unimpressed with the situation. Looking up, Liaena became aware that most of the Night Sabres were already at the gates. Nisha, Rithrynn and Sharon were the only ones remaining, the former bobbing about in impatience to leave having decided that the new arrival didn’t smell very delicious. Flapping a hand at Rithrynn in a ‘just one moment’ fashion, Liaena turned quickly back to the boy. “Isn’t there anything else? Did you speak to Thea? Did you – ooff!” An impatient purple hand had grabbed Liaena by the back of her robes as Nisha gambolled past, slinging her like a sack of potatoes onto the Night Sabre. Liaena found herself clutching onto Sharon for dear life to remain in the saddle after her highly undignified landing, rapidly coming to the conclusion that she would prefer a runaway cab to the up-and-down motion of a big cat any day of the week. “HEY!”
Because they are clearly the most reasonable :p
“**Not a midget**” came the low, slightly slurred angry rumble as Liaena oozed out from behind the heavy door sporting a brand new bloody nose, to glower up at Serphia who looked decided disinterested. “**You**. Are just….” _“Don’t destroy all Night Elves, you need them to save Kathlin. Don’t destroy all Night Elves, you need them to save Kathlin”_ “…too big.” Looking up at Serphia, Liaena glanced between her, and the main object of the formers interest, Sharon. A heavy frown settled on her forehead as she slowly tumbled to the Night Elfs intent. “He’s not going“ “Well, I suppose that’s all of you. Come along High Elf, we don’t have time to waste” “I said—“ Liaena began forcefully as Serphia turned and strode out of the room. Sharon followed, at least having the grace to give her a slightly apologetic look and a pat on the shoulder as he made haste to exit the room before she could reformulate a suitable argument. And Rithrynn was already long gone, walking as fast as she dared away from the Naliyah-infested bedroom while not actually outpacing her notoriously short-tempered Captain. “……….” ** -CRASH-** A vase of flowers, placed with loving care by Frederick took the brunt of Liaena’s less-than-stellar mood as she slammed a foot into the delicate side table it was sitting on, causing flowers, water and broken glass to smash all over the floor. Shuffling about in Sharons bed, Naliyah pouted winsomely as she ogled the door Rithrynn had just left by. “Aw. Is Rithy going out….?” Clearly sizing up the pros of chasing after Rithrynn versus the cons of chasing Serphia by association, the threat of Serphia won out as she settled down again with a giggle. “I guess I’ll keep the bed warm for her then, hihi” “You do that” Liaena muttered as she continued to give the empty doorway a stare that could have melted lead. Taking a glance out of the window where the sky had darkened to a deep red, she shook her head before running to follow the group.
**“You’re still not listening to me!” **Liaena snarled straight back, although without the volume her voice would normally possess. Another glance towards the sleeping Naliyah meant that there were no secrets regarding the reason for that. “You are **NOT** going! End of!” “……” A silence fell at this point, with the girl giving Sharon the nastiest glare she could find in lieu of shouting any further. The High Elf pretended not to see it, opting instead to give her that peaceable smile that was doing an excellent job of getting under her skin._ “I should’ve just knocked him out”_ Studying Sharon with the eyes of a predator, Liaena was forced to conclude that there was a lot less available bare skin to dart-gun than when she was pitted against the stripperific Night-Elves. In addition, he was also watching her carefully and Liaena was inclined to think that he had more than a passing suspicion of her current thought process. _ “I should have brought him to the Cathedral with me. And **then** knocked him out”_ “Liaena? Sweetheart, we need to leave” “I KNOW THAT! IT’S **YOU**, THAT’S MAKING THIS HARDER, BECAUSE WE ARE WASTING TIME WITH THIS!!” Liaena exploded back at him with a vengeance that could never have been anticipated from Sharon’s placid words. In truth, it appeared that just about anything the High Elf said could have triggered an onslaught from the over emotional girl as she stabbed a furious finger at him. “I don’t care about your reasons! Or your magic! You’re still going to go to the Cathedral, and you’re going to stay there, or…” “……..” Unable to think of a particularly effective threat as the seconds dragged on, Liaena felt her shoulders sag with an emotion that felt suspiciously like it could be defeat. The girl could feel a persistent burning behind her eyes as she looked up at him miserably. “….**please**”
“Don’t you – _**you don’t get to walk away from this!**_” Liaena seethed furiously at Sharon’s departing back as the High Elf strolled casually out of the room. Running to catch up, she darted around the elf to block his path just as he was about to reach out a hand to open the bedroom, to stab a finger at him with her eyes flashing dangerously. “You don’t **GET** to patronise me, or treat me like a child! Now **LISTEN TO ME, DAMN IT!**” “Zzzaaww, Rithy…ooos got a frowny face, mmh? Zzzzzzz…” Having been just about to open her mouth to scream at Sharon again, Liaena stalled instead to snap her head towards the bed where Naliyah had stirred, rearing her butt up into the air before settling down again. “ZzzzzZZzzzzz….” As the elf’s snoring filled the room again, Liaena found a lot of righteous fury had drained away from her as she looked back at Sharon to give him a black, but much less dangerous glare. “That’s the whole **point**, Sharon. You need to stay safe, because if you don’t, he wins” “….” “Look. This mission tonight – it might not go according to plan, okay!?” The girl hissed finally after a long silence, casting a furtive glance towards the window as though some Night Elf might be passing by and hear her blasphemous words. Hester, perched on the ledge, simply gave her a bored look in return. “We don’t know what’s in there, or how many guards there are, and we’re flying in blind. I’m not saying it _will_, but you can’t come with us because if this goes south, we need someone to keep fighting him! That someone’s you, and playing the hero is a lot less important than stopping Sherpa going on an ‘unholy rampage’, as you put it” Having had her eyes locked on Sharon throughout this entire speech, Liaena folded her arms across her chest as if daring for him to object as she looked up at him. “Which is why you’re going to the Cathedral tonight. There’s people there that know the situation, and you’ll be safer than staying here with a load of pissed Night Elves. Are we clear?”
