Private rp with Wingfeather

[wingfeather]

Lockian nodded as he observed the the other discreetly, ''he is, ive never seen him before either,'' he said thinking he would remember the fellow if ever he saw him. Suddenly it seemed as if the man, for Lockian assumed it was considering the height and brawn, it seemed as if he were staring right at them, though that could not be confirmed for it was only the dark hole in the cowl turned towards them.

"I may have for all I know. But whether or not I have... something about the fellow tubs me the wrong way. People with nothing to hide don't go to such lengths to hide their faces. But this guy seems awfully keen on hiding." Cass says. If he tried something then she wouldn't back down from a fight. She couldn't tell how tall this guy was. But she was able to hold her own.

[wingfeather]

''Aye,'' Lockian responded, ''same with me, I dont believe all's well and good with him.'' But the stranger didn't seem to want any trouble, though his behavior didn't exactly assist with that thought, just the fact that he didn't do anything but eat his food. ''Its getting late,'' Lockian observed, ''I'll fine with staying a little while yet but its up to you.''

"Long as he keeps his distance then I suppose we won't have any problems." Cass says, tearing her gaze away from the suspicious man. "S'pose it is a bit late. But I'm up for staying a bit longer" she says. She had a bit much on her mind to sleep right now anyway.

Lockian nodded, it was fine with him. He liked the calm atmosphere of the place, though doubtless on more crowded days it was less so. When Clocky's wife came around again he requested a coffee, which she brought back along with a plate of raisin bread that she set between them. Lockian thanked her then asked in a quiet voice, ''d'you know who he is,'' Lockian said indicating the cloaked man with a flick of his eyes.'' ''Why no, ah dont,'' she responded lowering her voice as well, '' 'e's new 'round 'ere and as only come in once 'r twice.''

"Newcomer keen on keeping his face hidden. Must have something to hide. Hopefully nothing more than petty crime." Cass says flatly. Either way, it would probably do good to keep an eye on him. There was no way to know for sure what a person might be capable of just by looking at them. She definitely didn't trust this guy though.

[wingfeather]

''Hmm,'' the woman said pushing her long braid off her shoulder, ''my husband 'as similar thoughts,'' she responded, ''but, 'e 'as always payed 'is bill, so we tolerate 'im,'' she said. After asking if there was anything else they might need she left them and went to ask the same of the stranger. Lockian noticed from the corner of his eye that Clocky was watching her and the other closely as he polished off the counters.

"Fair enough I suppose. He's not causing any problems. For now anyway. Until he does he deserves the benefit of the doubt just as anyone else does." Cass says. She fully expected this man was trouble. But she wouldn't act without reason. Mere suspicion was never just cause.

[wingfeather]

The stranger declined the woman’s offer with the slightest of a head shake. The woman left. The man looked towards Lockian and Cassidy, his shoulders shook ever so slightly… as if he were laughing. Suddenly he got up, tossed a few coins on the table, and started walking towards them. “Greetings,” he said in a deep quiet voice, though still the hood did not come off, “you reside at the castle don’t you?”

[mainehorse]

Cass quirks an eyebrow slightly, her mismatched eyes betraying little of what she might be thinking. "I fail to see how our living arrangements are any of your concern" she says. She wasn't about to confirm such information to a stranger, let alone one as suspicious as this man before them. He still wouldn't even show his face.

[wingfeather]

Lockian observed the man quietly but agreed with Cassidy’s response to the very forward question. The man was silent a moment before he spoke again, “a friendly question,” he said shrugging one of his shoulders, which was really just a slight lift of his shoulder, the evenness of his voice did not alter, “I have business up there, in the near future and thought that perhaps I’d be able to meet you both again. You strike me well, honest and…friendly.”

[mainehorse]

"You say all the right words, but I have my doubts that your intentions are as pure as you'd have us believe. Cause any trouble and we may not be as friendly as you seem to think we are." Cass says.

[wingfeather]

The stranger laughed, it had an odd grating ring to it, “my aren’t you the feisty one,” he said, “then again, I respect you for your blunt speech,” he executed a perfect sweeping bow. “Now, I must take my leave from your pleasant company,” he said giving both swift bows before leaving the tavern and disappearing into the darkness. Lockian raised an eyebrow, “quite an odd fellow,” he said as an understatement.

[mainehorse]

"Odd is one way to describe him. Whatever 'business' he has to attend to at the castle, it can't be good. He's trouble. I just know it." Cass says, shaking her head slightly. "It would probably be wise to keep an eye out tonight. Best case scenario he's just looking to steal a trinket. Worst case he's up to something nefarious" she says.

[wingfeather]

“I agree,” Lockian said seriously, “but it will be difficult for him to enter the castle unmarked, there are guards patrolling constantly, though that’s not to say that one with a will is unable to find a way,” Lockian said fingering his coffee mug. “It’s a possibility, and not one to be put aside but he may possibly have an honest purpose, we are being conclusive in openly condemning him,” though in reality he did not believe that statement the slightest bit, this fellow was not of the honest kind.
