Briar was having so much fun. She shrugged as he tossed the bag of coins back at her and she caught it nimbly. She shrugged again at his question. "This was more fun," she said matter-of-factly, rather enjoying the slideshow of different emotions on Roland's face. "I do think you'll say no...

Briar had done a nifty little spell on Roland and what happened next, she didn't particularly care. Even if he ran out the door now, she would not mind- she had done a sort of tracking spell on him- she would sense and feel when his soul was near. Already, she could feel the brief bit of fear...

Briar sighed through stolen lips as she contemplated Roland. He was rather paranoid, though she couldn't exactly blame him. Quicker than a viper, her hand jerked out and gripped his wrist, her thumbing pressing into the veins on the underside until she could not only feel the quickened pulse...

After some time (she hadn't bothered to count), Briar and Roland would descend the stairs once more. Her gaze immediately went to Penny sitting at a table with a mug in hand. She pretended that she could not see the knowing look on her second's face as she turned her attention to the bandit on...

Briar pretended not to be relieved when Roland finally agreed to take the job. He mentioned a contract, and it was even harder not to grin as she turned to face him fully. "The contract for this job is not a piece of paper you sign with a quill... it is more permanent." she said, letting a...

Shit. Luckily Briar kept the dry expression on her borrowed face, not revealing the brief panic that overtook her. It was stifled quickly, and she silently cursed her hormones. "It was sarcasm," she said flatly, blinking at him. "I apologize for my... dry sense of humor," she added after a...

Briar sat there at the bar as Roland mulled it over. When he eventually spoke up, it was not in acceptance of the job, as she had expected and hoped, but rather another attempt at flirting. "You wish," she said dryly, doing her best not to smile or laugh out loud. He would soon discover that...

"From the few survivors, I've gathered that there are two or three thieves, who pride themselves on their... animalistic way of fighting. So if you know any sort of higher technique I'm sure you'll be fine." Briar was replying to his questions on the fly, making something up that best fit the...

Briar pretended to think and consider her options. "100 gold. 50 now and 50 after you've done it," she replied. It was fair and reasonably priced; Roland would be a fool to turn the offer down. "If you agree, you'll need to 'sign' a contract, in a way," she added nonchalantly, hiding her...

Briar physically cringed at Roland's last comment. She knew he was bad at the flirty comments but it had been in an endearing sort of way. That one had just been plain awful. "Unfortunately, there is some hand work," she said, her voice still dry. "There are a few thieves who roam the the road...

For a moment Briar wondered if perhaps her disguise was not thorough enough; she noticed recognition flit across Roland's features briefly, but then it was gone. Just like last time, he flirted with her shamelessly. But, unlike last time, she was not as coy. Her smile was bland and dry as she...

The eclipse had been an utter joy for Briar. Twelve deaths of men at the hands of her own Clan on the very first night, and many more sacrifices to follow until Crobhear lake was dark with the blood of the Witches' enemies. Even after the brief fight with the knights, she was still coming down...

Despite claiming he wasn't one, it truly seemed that the knights' spokesperson was indeed a fool. Though she had to give him credit for knowing how witches loved retribution and punishment. But it would not serve him well here, because the witches were smarter than he gave them credit for. She...

Briar considered the knight who spoke. He seemed to be their leader, or at least spokesperson. She opened her mouth to respond to his words when a roar echoed through the skies. She looked up in time to see a storm dragon with a woman upon it. Lightning crashed to the ground in between the...

Briar took a mental assessment of the knights present before them. A flash of lightning illuminated faces more clearly. Near the front, she picked out three men and a woman. She thought she might be more forgiving with the women, but as for the men... she would not hold back. One of the men...
