She stopped altogether, cursing silently. She was going about this all wrong. Flying in here was stupid. The mercenary would have obviously seen her or heard her and gone into hiding. Now she could be examining Elenor's every move.

Take a breather. Calm your nerves and your headache. Cast them aside and focus, she said to herself. She took a deep breath, rubbing her temples once more and trying her best to ignore the pain. You'll get used to it again, when you use your maximised senses more often.

She swiped her tail along the ground, hiding any tracks she might have made, and took a deep breath. Yes, there had been a fire here. She could still smell the ashes. It had just been scuffed away.

She then climbed up into the lower branches of the tree, huddling herself into a small, unnoticable ball. So the mercenary knew she was there? That would only mean she'd come out to investigate.

Elenor gripped onto the tree and flapped her wings, slowing at the end - mimicking departing wingbeats. Then she waited for the mercenary to appear - thinking that the stranger had flown away and lulled into a false sense of safety.

It had gotten chilly all of a sudden. She ignored it. Heat, chill... both things she could ignore. Things she had been put through on extreme levels just to be able to block them out in the future - so she wouldn't speak, no matter what pain she went through. She shuddered, but focused on the present once more.

If you killed her, you would have the police after you as well. It will make it much easier for your dad to catch up to you. She is clearly looking for someone else. That gives you time to get out of here. I dont know where you would go, but I am sure you have some idea. I should start the journey home. I dont think Ill have time to stop by his grave again. She stated. She put the coin away and sighed. She looked around to see if anyone was still watching them.

" There is a problem with that." He stated slightly embarassed "my father probably think we are a thing so as long as him and me are around, you are not safe..."

I see. Well, that does seem a bit problematic. She mumbled. She narrowed her eyes and tried to think of some solution but none came to her. She shook her head. Very problematic. She said. Again, she looked around, hoping for something to come to her.

Cesura pricked up her ears once more. She heard more wingbeats, this time going back to town. If the stranger had gone it meant she could come out. She slowly stood up making sure not to make much noise and poked her head out of the cave. The snow swirled around her and even she had a hard time seeing now. Cesura shivered. She hated the cold.

She took another step out of the cave, scanning her surroundings. The snow was really piling up now. It was at least a foot deep, and the wind was getting worse. If she were to try and fly away, her wings would surely break.

-it was a bad idea coming out here-

She let out a small bit of flame to see her surroundings. Her forked tongue slid in and out of her mouth with a small hiss as she smelled the air. The snow now covered her cloak and back and she shook out her wings to get it off.

-why did it have to be so cold?-

(so exciting! and btw Cesura trained herself so she isn't at all as skilled as you but she is as sneaky as all heck)

" As long as you stay away from lonely places and stay around people that can protect you it should be fine but until this matter is resolved you are not safe alone." He explained, he didn't wanted to trap her even more then she already was with him but he woudn't forgive himself if she would die by his fault.

Oh, thatll be hard. Zilla said quietly. She had so few friends due to her usual sulking. She frowned a bit.

He stayed quiet, mentaly yelling at himself for draging her into this mess, she had enough problem already without adding that as well. Even now the though of apologising for evrything wasn't enough to overpower his pride.

She gave him a weak smile. I will figure it out. We should probably get out of here. She said. She started towards the cafe exit.

He snap out of is mental scolding and follow her, giving her his usual smirk. "Yea, until then you get me as a body guard, isn't it great ?"
