Lilifred stops, suddenly noticing something.
You blink at Lilifred.
Lilifred quirks her eyebrow at Mandy.
Lilifred says: ... why are you always snooping around, kid?
Arixan glances off to the side, taking a swig from her flask. MOVE ALONG NOTHING TO SEE HERE SHE WASN'T SPYING LALALALALA....
Arixan blinks at Lilifred again,"Huh?"
Lilifred says: I asked you: "Why are you always snooping around?"
Lilifred says: Whaddaya want out of it?
Lilifred says: One of these days we're gonna have to either make you official, or beat you up.
Arixan nibbles her lip and shrugs, then blinks at Lil at her comment, frowning lightly.
Arixan says: So, uh.... tha' mean I can come along?
Arixan rubs at the back of her neck.
Lilifred frowns forever.
Lilifred totally didn't mean that at all.
Lilifred says: Uhhh....
Peregrinne nods at the warlock, dropping the end of a cigarette on the cobbles and smashing it with a heel before he goes inside.
Peregrinne blinks at Mandy's presence. "'Lo."
You wave at Peregrinne.
Lilifred says: hey, kid, wait a sec okay...
Lilifred pulls Peregrinne aside NOT AT ALL DISCREETLY.
Peregrinne looks down at the gnome, hands in pockets.
Lilifred WHISPERS LOUDLY.
Peregrinne resists the urge to kneel.
Lilifred says: So uh....
Lilifred says: This kid
Peregrinne winces at Lilifred's complete inability to whisper.
Lilifred says: Keeps spying on our meetings and I really... don't want to have to, y'know, lock her in the basement or whatever.
Lilifred says: But she's gonna follow us no matter what, so uh...
Lilifred actually whispers this time, "... she's gonna follow us anyways, so could you maybe... y'know... babysit her?
Peregrinne || It's the thug's turn to whisper loudly. "Babysit," he drawls incredulously, looking at the gnome. "-Babysit?-"
Peregrinne realizes he's not whispering, and drops his voice down to a rumble.
Lilifred holds up her hands diplomatically, "I mean- bring her along, but make sure she uh... y'know. Doesn't get in trouble."
Arixan watches the two, frowning, her shoulders hunching and her posture slouching some.
Lilifred says: Or, y-y'know... see something she's not supposed to see.
Lilifred WINKS REALLY OBVIOUSLY.
Peregrinne grumbles, actually whispering. "Fine with me. She ain't dumb, though."
Peregrinne continues murmuring. "Better the demon you know than the one y' don't, though. S'pose."
Lilifred glances back at Mandy, then to Grinne. She nods, "I know. But she IS... she's really young. y'know."
Arixan FROWNS at Lilifred.
Lilifred smiles at Mandy, "C'mon, we should get going!"
Lilifred lights another cigar as she exits the bar.
Arixan looks away, hopefully in time for Lil to not see the frown o' doom. Then blinks back at her and nods.
Peregrinne shrugs at Mandy.
Peregrinne says: Weeelll.
Arixan grins lightly at Grinne.
Arixan says: Hrm?
Peregrinne squints at the wall.
Peregrinne looks down.
Peregrinne snorts, derisively.
Arixan says: So.... where we goin'?
Peregrinne says: No bleeding clue.
Arixan says: Uhhhh, enny way t' find out?
Peregrinne says: Got half an idea, though.
Arixan says: ...'Alf's better n' none?
Peregrinne strolls along!
Peregrinne looks around thoughtfully, then shifts his weight and ambles a different direction!
Arixan follows, nibbling her lip some, glancing around.
Arixan says: Tha' wuddn' yer half of th' idea, was et?
Peregrinne digs in his pocket, lightly up a cigarette.
Peregrinne is very intent on the cigarette as he lights it. Shaky hands and matches and all.
Arixan frowns a little. "Sooooo..... wut we doin'?"
Arixan shifts her weight on her feet some.
Peregrinne finally takes a look around.
Peregrinne grunts. He exhales a "Good," curt as he talks around the cigarette, a cloud of smoke coming with it.
Peregrinne says: Nobody's hangin' around.
Arixan says: 'Cept us.
Peregrinne grins around the hand-rolled smoke. "That was my half of the plan," he says, and he only might be joking.
Arixan eyes him, frowning a bit before glancing around.
Arixan crosses her arms, glancing around more.
You eye Aleyna up and down as she rides up on her star horse.
Arixan says: . . .
Aleyna waves.
Peregrinne has been standing silently, contentedly smoking.
Arixan says: Wut th' fuck is tha'?!
Aleyna says: Hey Grinne.
Peregrinne says: 'Leyna.
Peregrinne says: What.
Peregrinne says: In the hell.
Aleyna says: I stole it.
Peregrinne says: What in the hell.
Peregrinne says: ...From who.
Aleyna says: Some guy.
Aleyna says: It's mine now.
Arixan says: . . .
Peregrinne says: Shit, Leyna, that's a fancy... what the hell is that, a horse?
Peregrinne says: Somebody's gonna want that shit back.
Arixan says: Tha' thing don' look safe.
Aleyna says: It is too. Wanna pet it?
Arixan says: No.
Aleyna says: It flies.
Peregrinne eyes it doubtfully.
Arixan says: Might start sparklin' like tha' damn thing is. I ain' touchin' et!
Peregrinne says: Bet it ain't even soft.
You eye Aleyna up and down.
Aleyna says: Sometimes if you scare it, it goes poof!
Aleyna says: and stars everywhere
Arixan says: Th' fuck.
Arixan looks baffled.
Aleyna says: I think they stole it from that dwarf titan place in Northrend.
Peregrinne says: Huh.
Aleyna says: Like um. What's it called? Udueral?
Peregrinne says: Ulduar.
Aleyna says: Yeah. That one.
Arixan picks up the rat and flings it at the creature. She wants to see it go poof!
Peregrinne 's drawl makes that "Uldwar."
Aleyna yelps as the horse does scare! It scatters into stars and drifts off. Weird.
Arixan busts out laughing.
Aleyna blinks and looks over her shoulder. "Well uh. It'll.. come back, I guess. Later."
Peregrinne shakes his head.
Arixan says: Or go back to th' guy ya stole et from?
Arixan smirks.
Aleyna says: Maybe.
Aleyna says: He was some mage. I'll get it back.
Arixan nibbles her lip, shifting her weight on her feet again, not looking all that comfortable.
Peregrinne is looking contemplative, maybe a little irritated, if one is used to reading his expressions.
Aleyna says: So. What's uh.. goin' on?
Arixan says: Dunno. Grinne 'alf knows?
Peregrinne hrns.
Arixan shrugs and looks over at Grinne.
Aleyna looks to Mandy and then to Grinne. One of her eyebrows raises a bit in a silent question.
Peregrinne mutters a word that might be unintelligibly muttered Common, or something entirely different.
Aleyna nods shortly and looks to Arixan again. It's an almost irriated stare.
Arixan sighs and settles down on the ground with the ease of someone who's use to just, well, setteling wherever they want in public. She pulls out a schematic and starts studying it.
Arixan blinks up at Ley. "Wut?"
Peregrinne says: Ain't her fault.
Peregrinne says: ...Well, half her fault.
Peregrinne doesn't actually seem too irritated, honestly.
Arixan looks between the two, confused.
Peregrinne looks around.
Peregrinne 's eyes fall on the dock. "Mandy, c'mere."
Aleyna shrugs and follows.
Arixan says: Yeah?
Peregrinne motions to the spot next to him.
Peregrinne lowers himself to a seat.
Peregrinne says: ...You're here 'cause you got caught.
Aleyna twitches her ears.
Arixan says: Yup.
Peregrinne says: Don't do that.
Peregrinne grins.
Arixan says: Wut.
Arixan blinks.
Peregrinne says: Don't get caught. First thing.
Arixan snerks,"Well, yeah."
Peregrinne says: Second this is, I like you enough. Remind me about half a' me at your age, 'cept I wasn't smart.
Peregrinne says: An' it's 'cause I like you that I'm tellin' you, you're glad you got caught by the gnome.
Aleyna quietly snickers to herself.
Arixan frowns lightly and tilts her head at him.
Peregrinne says: You know who I am, Mandy?
Peregrinne says: You know who 'Leyna is, and Miles? What we do, an' how high up in it we are?
Peregrinne asks calmly, smoking.
Arixan looks out at the water, nibbling her lip. She nods.
Peregrinne says: You realize I have beat a man's face into so many pieces he drowned in his own blood, for doin' less than being a nosy rat on our meetin's?
Peregrinne isn't trying to be threatening, he's just SAYING.
Arixan frowns. She didn't know -that-.....
Peregrinne shrugs.
Peregrinne mumbles, "S'work," and goes on.
Arixan nods at that. She understands work.
Peregrinne says: So what I'm sayin' is, quit while you're ahead, or join up, ain't a bad job. Can't leave, but it ain't a bad job.
Peregrinne says: An' if you join up, you got to get a -damn sight- better at not gettin' caught.
Peregrinne cracks a smile at the end of that.
Aleyna crosses her arms and keeps an eye out for eavesdroppers.
Peregrinne says: I don't take into mind -who- I'm working on when I work, hear me? Might get sad about it later, but in the middle of it, business is business.
Peregrinne says: An' you can't keep sneakin' in.
Arixan nods, nibbling her lip some, glancing from the water to Grinne and back again. "I ain' goin' away." and she smirks a little "Use t' be better at not gettin' caught. Outta practice...." She trails off, frowning slightly.
Peregrinne grunts, nodding, and ashes into the canal.
Arixan says: So... wha'd I do t' get in?
Peregrinne says: What're you good at?
Peregrinne looks over at her, brows raised in mild interest. "Said you had a head for numbers, but you're shy as hell an' that frown'd scare a whore off her trick."
Arixan says: Stabbin' shit. Can get better at hidin' if I work on et again. People usually ignore me if 'm jus' hangin' 'round.
Peregrinne says: So probably not sales.
Arixan snickers a bit.
Arixan says: 'M a'ite if 'm workin'.
Aleyna says: If nothing else, she has her look.
Aleyna says: She pulls off the dumb kid appearance pretty well, yeah?
Aleyna quietly snickers to herself.
Peregrinne snorts.
Peregrinne says: Ever dusted anybody?
Peregrinne keeps his voice low and conversational.
Peregrinne flicks his spent cigarette into the water, watching it arc and hit and drift dirtily away.
Arixan shoots a glance over her shoulder at Ley before looking back out over the water. "Yup. Make most of m' coin killin' shit. 'S all jus' numbers, ya know?"
Peregrinne looks at her incredulously.
Peregrinne ... was not expecting that.
Peregrinne says: S'a little more one-on-one in this business.
Arixan shrugs.
Arixan says: D'pending on th' job sometimes it is, too, ya know?
Peregrinne says: Too smart for whorin'.
Peregrinne thinks aloud.
Aleyna snorts.
Aleyna says: No such thing.
Peregrinne barks a laugh.
Peregrinne says: What do you figure, 'Leyna.
Arixan frowns.
Arixan says: I ain' bein' enny whore.
Arixan 's shoulders slump.
Peregrinne says: My group, or the Professor's, s'what I'm thinking. Maybe the gnome's.
Peregrinne grins. "Might be too skinny for mine." He's teasing, good-naturedly. He scratches at a sideburn, then leans back on his hands.
Arixan tilts her head at Grinne. "Wut's yer's?"
Aleyna says: No clue, honestly. I don't place 'em.
Peregrinne says: Why the hell not.
Peregrinne says: Punted that quiet longears fella over to me, says Ester.
Peregrinne ignores Mandy's question for the time being.
Arixan frowns lightly, taking that as a queue to shut up.
Aleyna quietly snickers to herself.
Peregrinne thinks. He's good at that, thinking and not talking, but not at considering that sometimes the silence might not be as comfortable for other people.
Peregrinne finally sits forward, looking at Mandy.
Peregrinne says: Think you'd be more comfortable sellin', or collecting what's due.
Arixan looks over at him and nods a bit. "A'ite."
Peregrinne snorts. "S'an 'or' question."
Arixan says: Oh. Uhhh...
Arixan frowns.
Arixan says: Sellin' mebbie? I dunno...
Peregrinne grunts. "Ain't going to cut it. Gonna make it in this business, you got to be able to give an answer. A good firm one, lie or no."
Peregrinne is like a weird mob drill sergeant.
Arixan frowns, shoulders slumping a little more, but at least she sounds more confident? "Sellin'."
Aleyna says: You gotta be careful, though.
Aleyna nods sagely, "You get that much stuff in your hands and you start dippin' in it."
Aleyna says: And that's what gets you cut off.
Arixan blinks and looks over her shoulder at the elf.
Peregrinne grimaces. "Yeah."
Arixan frowns lightly,"Don' plan on doin' ennythin'. 'Aven't yet, why start?"
Peregrinne says: Ain't that the Light's own too-bright truth. Shit.
Peregrinne says: Don't plan on it now, sure.
Arixan slips out her flask and takes a swig.
Peregrinne shrugs. He eyes the flask, eyes her, and leaves it at that.
Arixan slips the flask back casually. ALCOHOL IS NOT A DRUG. SHE DOES NOT HAVE A PROBLEM. SHUDDIT.
Peregrinne says: Alright.
Peregrinne says: The gnome it is, then.
Peregrinne says: Speakin' of which.
Arixan nods.
Peregrinne grumbles and stands!
Peregrinne looks down at her. "You're one of us now so this babysittin' bullshit is off."
Arixan grins.
Peregrinne says: I'm headed to Gadgetzan, fuck Lilifred an' her "you stay here while we do a job".
Arixan says: Cool.
Aleyna tilts her head, "What job?"
Peregrinne says: They're findin' some new product.
Aleyna says: Oh. In the desert?
Peregrinne looks up at Ley, smirking unevenly. "You coming?"
Arixan says: Some sorta cactus thingy.
Peregrinne says: Could be an adventure. Hell.
Aleyna grins crookedly.
Aleyna says: You think you're up for a boat ride?
Arixan very nearly smiles a little. Wait, wut?
Peregrinne says: Hell no I ain't up for a boat ride, but I'm doin' it anyway.
Arixan says: I like boats.
Aleyna says: Glad to hear it.
Aleyna says: Don't puke.
Peregrinne groans.
Peregrinne says: I don't puke, dammit
Arixan says: Boats are great....
Aleyna makes a puking noise. BLAARRGGHH.
You blink at Lilifred.
Lilifred quirks her eyebrow at Mandy.
Lilifred says: ... why are you always snooping around, kid?
Arixan glances off to the side, taking a swig from her flask. MOVE ALONG NOTHING TO SEE HERE SHE WASN'T SPYING LALALALALA....
Arixan blinks at Lilifred again,"Huh?"
Lilifred says: I asked you: "Why are you always snooping around?"

Peregrinne says: Don't plan on it now, sure.
Arixan slips out her flask and takes a swig.
Peregrinne shrugs. He eyes the flask, eyes her, and leaves it at that.
Arixan slips the flask back casually. ALCOHOL IS NOT A DRUG. SHE DOES NOT HAVE A PROBLEM. SHUDDIT.
Peregrinne says: Alright.
Peregrinne says: The gnome it is, then.
Peregrinne says: Speakin' of which.
Arixan nods.
Peregrinne grumbles and stands!
Peregrinne looks down at her. "You're one of us now so this babysittin' bullshit is off."
Arixan grins.
Peregrinne says: I'm headed to Gadgetzan, fuck Lilifred an' her "you stay here while we do a job".
Arixan says: Cool.
Aleyna tilts her head, "What job?"
Peregrinne says: They're findin' some new product.
Aleyna says: Oh. In the desert?
Peregrinne looks up at Ley, smirking unevenly. "You coming?"
Arixan says: Some sorta cactus thingy.
Peregrinne says: Could be an adventure. Hell.
Aleyna grins crookedly.
Aleyna says: You think you're up for a boat ride?
Arixan very nearly smiles a little. Wait, wut?
Peregrinne says: Hell no I ain't up for a boat ride, but I'm doin' it anyway.
Arixan says: I like boats.
Aleyna says: Glad to hear it.
Aleyna says: Don't puke.
Peregrinne groans.
Peregrinne says: I don't puke, dammit
Arixan says: Boats are great....
Aleyna makes a puking noise. BLAARRGGHH.
