Aurra’s smile deepened at his flustered tone, though she was careful not to let it turn into a grin. “You hide it well, then,” she said, glancing sidelong at him as they walked. “Most folk I’ve seen from the ground tend to gape with their mouths open when they see one for the first time. You...

"We might!" she declared boldly, stepping with a light bounce. The streets of Oban were alive with the rhythm of evening - traders calling out the last of their wares, guards changing watch, the faint toll of a bell somewhere high in the citadel. Aurra moved through it all with the easy grace...

"Oban!" Aurra turned around with he city walls behind her. She spread out her arms and looked at Nuir "Land of pretty castles, gryphon riders and - perhaps for us - fame and fortune." She was feeling quite optimistic. Her Elbion job had gone well and she had been well paid. No one hand...

Aurra felt suddenly more bare as he locked and blue eyes onto hers. She couldn't know what he was thinking but she felt a slightly flutter low in her belly. "Alright then," she softly echoed back. He was so innocent. Even as a thief, she would feel a pang of guilt at stealing some of that...

"Oh. I see. I suppose those two things kind of explain one another don't they?" she tried to keep her tone light because of how nervous he seemed. He hadn't rejected her. That was good. For all her confidence, she would have found that slightly painful. "Well I can be gentle. Gentle-ish," she...

Aurra looked down at Nuir. She was chewing on the corner of her bottom lip. Their imagination had gone in two very different directions. She took a breath. He was going to get the point if she danced around the issue, but she didn't want to send him fleeing and overwhelmed. "Nothing is the...

"I think I'm going to leave that well alone," Aurra agreed. She didn't know if the puzzle box was the protection or the magical item. She was well read and had heard of such a variety of mystical inventions that it could have been many things. She turned towards Nuir and took a step closer. It...

"I was thinking on to Oban," she said. "You're welcome to join me to the portal stone. Or to Oban," she replied. Turning off the alley after a few turns they were on a wider street. Horses would clearly walk carts up and down the street in the day. She stopped under the swinging sign of an...

"I think it's magical and dangerous. I think they probably stole it from the college. Risky business. Better to have it back in sensible hands." Better to have a slightly heavier coin purse, she thought to herself. "We'll check it over where I'm staying. Then I'll drop it off in the morning...

"Oh I take what I want," she said, glancing over her shoulder. It had only been a few seconds and she teased him with a look that went up and down. "Except when it's too drunk...But this was a job." She turned her head forwards and picked up the pace. They left the alley and were heading...

Aurra watched Nuir closely. The corner of her dark lips twitched into a smile. She swung her hips to her left and placed her hand there. "Just a bit of excitement?" Aurra decided that it would have been cruel to tease him any more right now. He was very sweet and she was worried that if she...

Aurra tilted her head into Nuir's. From across his right shoulder she kept her eyes on the mouth of the alley. She kept her grip on him and when nothing passed the alley she became more consciously aware of the way he was pressed to her. Shadows appeared at the mouth of the alley. She closed...

She briefly raised an eyebrow at Nuir. He dealt woth danger remarkably well. Even when he was wounded he kept himself together. "I'm hoping to avoid that," she muttered back. "Walk a little more quickly. Without looking like we are hurrying." Aurra turned them east and down towards the dock...

"Well you've seen the shadowy side of the city then," Aurra mused. He didn't need to see any more of it, she thought to herself. They were still being followed. She didn't want him to find out that she dealt in the darker corners of the world. There weren't many people who saw her in a...

"Er...no." She tried to glance over her shoulder without looking. Two shadows were still on her tail. Given who she had stolen from, she expected they were nasty individuals. Theh hadn't attacked which meant they wanted to learn something by following her. Nuir was in danger and he didn't...
