"It seems highly unlikely that his purposes would be honest. What reason would he have to hide his face if his purposes were not dubious? Though I suppose you do have a point there. We need not condemn him over suspicion. But keeping an eye out, or alerting the guards to be on watch will do no harm. The more people with eyes out, the less likely he'll be able to cause trouble if that is his intention." Cass says.

Lockian could think of a lot of petty reasons, like a severely marred face, but none of them really matched up with the fellow's character. ''No, it would not do any harm at all. You know, he is easily a man one could easily identify, so we should be able to recognize him if he does happen to be around the castle. Also I just remembered, does he not match up with the description given to us by the armorer? I mean we weren't given much of a description aside from, shrewd, dark-cloaked, lust for fighting, and quick.''

"I suppose he does, what little of a description it was in any case. If he does show up at the castle then he should be easy enough to spot. Though that cloak would help him to blend in with the shadows." Cass says.

''That is true, but there is the fact of snow, it takes away many hiding places, which will make it difficult for him to blend in, unless he is very good at camouflage and looking as if he belongs in a place. The is a fact that I would not doubt though,'' Lockian added.

"Outside the snow will be a hindrance. But provided he can get inside then there are many shadowed areas he could hide in. Though a well placed storm could make it harder for him to sneak inside. We can hope anyway." Cass says.

''That is true, but we can't leave his undoing to the chance of a storm,'' Lockian said. He fell silent for a little while, mulling over the whole affair. Wondering if any of it fitted together, he could not think of anything, at least not at the moment.

"Certainly not. Goodness knows where he's gone off to now. But if we keep an eye out for him then we may well spot him should he try and sneak in. And if a storm should aid us in that affair then all the better." Cass says.

''That it would,'' Lockian answered. ''Its getting late now,'' he said looking toward the inky black window panes, ''and we both have an early day tomorrow, I think we should start making our way back.'' He stood, ''at least I will, you can stay longer if you wish.'' He set a few coins on the table.

"I'll probably be a bit longer. I don't think I could sleep right now. But I should be back within the hour, probably just going to get one more drink and then head back." Cass says. It seemed her mind was never quiet. Though tonight it seemed to be especially loud.

''Alright, see you later,'' Lockian said. He waved to Clocky before leaving the tavern. It was a crisp night and dark, though many stars could be seen peering through the seeming ocean of black. He pulled his coat closer around himself and began walking briskly back to the castle, the cold speeding him on.

"See you later." Cass says, picking up her mug to take another long sip from her drink. Though her attention was soon grabbed by the sound of footsteps. Expecting it was probably Clocky, she lifts her mismatched gaze from her mug. Except instead of meeting Clocky's chocolate brown gaze, her mismatched gaze meets a mirrored pair, green eye, blue eye. The bard... but why? Now that she could see him up close, she noticed more similarities. Not only did he have hetechormia, his hair was a lot like hers. Thick, black and slightly curly, albeit longer than hers. "Pardon? Can I help you?" She asks. "My apologies ma'am. But I have to know. What is your name?" The bard asks. Cass quirks an eyebrow slightly in surprise. It was an innocuous enough question. There was no harm in answering though she supported. It was about the one question about herself that she could. "Cassidy. Why?" She asks.

Lockian made it back in good time, he strode into the stables first, wanting to give Banshee a check before going up to his apartments. ''Well Well,'' someone said stepping from the shadows, it was another soldier, Lockian had only met him by sight and that was fleeting. This fellow wasn't very tall but was buff, his eyes were a watery pale blue and his bearded face was turned up in a smile, though not of a mirthful or friendly kind, ''your the new one aren't you,'' he continued. Lockian nodded, not liking the look of the fellow, nor the one who flanked him. ''I just wanted to warn you,'' he went on, ''we dont like your type around here, nor do we like anyone sticking their nose into business that isn't their own.'' Lockian was confused at this speech but stood his ground, often other man made empty threats to those they tried to scare so they could be on top, childish really, but... could there be something behind what he said?

Cassidy studied the man before her pensively as she waited for him to respond. She wasn't sure why he wanted her name. But once she figured it out then she would probably return to the castle. "Cassidy... Morel?" The man asks, seemingly trying to confirm her surname. Cassidy nods slightly. "It's really you... goodness. It's you. I almost didn't recognize you at first with that scar across your face. I haven't seen you since you left to make a name for yourself. What all have you been up to?" He asks. "And who might I be to you? I'm afraid I don't recognize you" she says.

''I'll remember that,'' Lockian said, he didn't care one copper of the man's threat but just wanted to avoid a purposeless fight. The other blinked as if surprised at the other's compliance, ''you do that,'' he said, ''and... I'll be watching you.'' Lockian thought this all very stereotypical and could hardly keep himself from rolling his eyes. Lockian made to brush past him when the man suddenly grabbed his shirt collar and shoved his face near Lockian, ''I mean it,'' he said in a low tone making himself sound menacing. He thrust Lockian aside just as Lockian was about to push from his grasp and strode away, his companion following, ''now what could have all that been about,'' Lockian thought, watching them leave.
