"I try." The man smiled back at her after a moment. With the last of the buckets filled he returned one last one to the bath. It was his turn to bathe, though at the same time he wanted to wait until the others had their turn. With his luck when he went to bathe the water would need to be changed once again. It's not that it had been a while since he had last had the luxury of a bath, it was just that he had been through some messes since the last bath. He was probably carrying enough sand to build a castle!

It was quiet up in the shade of the tower, just enough so that he could think clearly about what the map was trying to say. So what was the connection of the two points? Maybe they just had the wrong map? But no matter the map the man tried, they all seem to line up to cities that didn't make sense except the one of home. It marked the main castle and Altar's old home. Could that mean...? Placing the map back over the map of Acer the man though for a moment. The bureau is like a second home right as was the castle, so what if that meant the second marked was Altar's home at the moment?! That might just be the case, though in order to get there it would takes weeks of riding...was it really worth the risk? If it meant saving the others then yes it was worth it. Satisfied with his findings the man packed up his things and took the last few steps out onto the planks where he took a look about the city. Not ideal but not the worse either. With a sigh he took a breath and jumped. Landing in the hay always gave him a sense of safety, satisfaction even. If he could jump from the tallest building to the wagon of hay, he could achieve anything. Stepping from the hay though he was just like all the other, just a blade in the crowd.
Once back at the bureau he set the maps down on the table. "Dagon come look at this."

He had been sitting in his courner, placing some of his cards in the pattern that the inksplatter had been in. In his head he went through every text he had ever read. Every symbol he had ever studied was brought back to the surface of his mind but he could tell nothing of what it meant. Nothing came to mind and and anoyance grew in the mans body. With a sigh he closed his eyes, seeing the cards with their colourfull baksides in his mind he tried to focus more on where each card was. A butterfly ... a flower .. a family portrait ... a sun, rainclouds ... a heart ... a animal. But nothing made sence at all so when he heard Shadir talk he looked up at the man before gathering his cards and walking up to the table. "yes?" he asked. looking at both the map and the inksplatter. What is it that he wants him to see? Moving his thumb over the cards he hold in his hand as he looked carefully at the papers before them.

Once back at the beurou she was greeted with Algol that threw herself at the woman that stumbled backwards, falling to the ground. SHe couldnt help but laugh a bit. "Happy to see me sweetheart?" she asked, getting a gentle purring to answer. "Okej, come on girl lets get you brushed." she said. With the animal circling her feets she walked to a courner. Once the woman sat down th animal simply took place in her lap as the blue fur got groomed.

"Look at this." The man said with a whole new expression on his face. It seemed to be a mix of confusion and shock, yet had a slight twinge of happiness thrown into the mix of it all. He placed the letter over the map of home. "It points to the castle, and to Altair's old home. One safe haven and one home. And see on the other map it points to the bureau and to a point off in who knows what. A safe haven, and a home. I believe that this might be telling us whom the letter if meant for and where to find them." The man said. It sounded well enough and put his mind to ease at least, but then he might just be a confused old man with a strange way of comprehending things.

As shadir told him to look at the map he hummed a bit. While sadir had a compleatly mixed expression he himself just feelt ... confused. However as Shadir explained his thoughts he started to think, quickly pulling out the other maps as well. Yes, there was the same pettern there. "You know what Shadir? I think you are correct." he nodded with a smile. It all makes sense if thats how it really is. Its not guaranteed but its a good start. "So how should we proceed then?" he asked calmly.

As the lioness was cleaned and brushed untill the fur was literly shining the animal stood up on its paws, strutting around the house and showing of her now gorgeus fur. "You have a showel and broom I can borrow?" she askedbrushing of her clothes a bit.

"Well it's not much to go on but it is a start. I saw we rest for tonight and if Mahir wakes up tomorrow we ask him. If he doesn't then we will look for more clues either in the letter or about the town." Shadir suggested once more looking over the maps just to be sure everything lined up correctly. This was it...a start to finding Altair, if this proved that it was indeed pointing it's way towards him after all. Finally a lead in the right direction!

Dhuka looked up at the woman a moment before waddling off to find the iteam that she was looking for. Growling she pulled the tathered broom back to the woman and seat it at her feet. The cub loved to chase brooms, it was a thing she had done since she was first brought home one faithful night.

He looked at Shadir a moment, contemplating what he was saying. Shadir knowing him best of all in the group could perhaps glimps the act that he wasnt 100% in on the idea yet the man didnt say anything, just keept thinking before nodding. "Werry well." he said after some time, breaking the silence. He himself would probably need a day of rest to get all his powers back but if Shadir deems its best to start at once he will do so. As he stood up the small little lizard crawled out from his hood, sitting on his shoulder. At this he glanced at the animal once before he made a face as his back made a sound. Damit, he had stretched it a bit before so sitting down so long had made it stiff. Perhaps he really just needed to get his blood pumping after all? "I will go out for some time, anything you want me to look for or just the normall?" he asked, puttin down the last of the papers. Yeah, he does need to get his blood pumping some, just soften the back some. When he is alone he switches between walking and riding to spare the back, and butt, from strain. but now he had just kept quiet to make sure the group moved as it fitted the most of them. As long as it didnt really affect him to much he would just bite through most things, simply following and doing what he needed to.

She looked down at the cub, bending her knees and gently stroking it as she grabed the broom. "Thank you little one." she smiled with a happy smile. With that she begun to sweep the floor cleen from the sand that had rested in Algols fur. The sand moving, creating small, soft clouds of sand that quickly settled once more. However she quickly noticed the cub playing with the broom as she sweept the floor. "Oh my, I cant remember the last time Algol played with a broom." she shuckled, a moment forgetting about the sand and entertaining the animal.

"At the moment all that is needed is time, and answers neither of which I believe you can bring us." The older man said in a tired manner. The ride alone had taken it out of him let alone the nights events before they left. Sleep was much needed though it didn't seem it would be gifted to him any time soon, not with his son here now whom needed to be watched and the map that needed attention. Sleep would just have to wait. Sighing some he sank into a chair still looking over the maps before taking out a sheet of parchment and a ink well. A feather was used to scribble down the words he wanted to remember. It was going to be a long night so why not try and pass time?

The cub looked up, the grass end of the broom in her mouth as she did. It was hard to understand the words thewomanwas saying. Did she want her to sit? Obediently the cub sat yet didn't drop the broom that she had clasped in her mouth. Maybe this was whatThe woman wanted? Oh maybe there was a treat involved too!

Dagon looked at his friend in silence before nodding. "Werry well." he said before getting out, kjust moving like this was helpfull so if he just walked around for some time he would get back to normal, or normal-ish. In silence he walked the rooftops, taking in the city and all its sounds and smells, every detail soaked into his memory. After some time he stopped, shuckled and got down from the roof. Afte a transaction of some money he walked of, putting his purchase in his tunic, disepearing into the crowd and then into what could only be described as thin air.

As he got back several houers later he walked up to Shadir, his hand reaching into his tunic, As he took it out he put down the houerglass on the table next to the man with a tired smile. His normally rather horrid humor getting the best of him. There, he had given him ^time^ just as he had asked for.

She smiled at the animal and gave the cub a treat before playing some more with it. However once the bath was done she got into it, just soaking and relaxing compleatly. Okej, this is it. She can die happy right now.
