"Favors are easy, and I do have much to offer. If this leads to a further business relationship, then all the better." Seretha nodded and ate thoughtfully for awhile. Eventually, she spoke back up. "I don't think I have the budget for mercenaries, especially considering my proclivities...

Seretha frowned for a moment not in direct response to Vaezhasar but in considering his priorities against her own. She had no husband but she did have two young children she hadn't seen in probably a couple of years now. For just a brief instant she questioned her own choice but just as quickly...

They both couldn't see their potential role in this, but that was of little actual concern to Seretha. They needn't understand anything in the grander scheme, really, though Vaezhasar Drakspae certainly wanted to and likely any help from him would be contingent upon a full explanation...

As she finished scarfing down her first loaf of bread, Seretha raised a hand to her necklace, squeezing one of the bone talons between two fingers. An experienced mage like Vaezhasar Drakspae could likely have seen the magic energy flow from her core up through her arm and into the talon, which...

For just a moment the calm and casual expression Seretha worked hard to keep as her primary facade dropped alongside her jaw, just a fraction of an inch but still noticeable. She gathered herself quickly, though, and any indication that she'd been surprised washed away as quickly as it had...

Seretha raised an eyebrow as the golem ordered. She hadn't been expecting him to order anything at all; the offer had been an empty gesture expecting that a golem would neither need nor desire tavern food. She could afford it, that wasn't an issue - after all, she had reasonable coin herself and...

Seretha gave a slight chuckle and said, "My legs are more than capable, sir. I do want to make sure I'm not wasting our golem friend's time, however." She led them to an open-air tavern a short walk away. Inside the privacy fencing, she directed them to one of the handful of tables and waved at...

Kin to the new empress? That was a strange surprise. What were the odds, after all, of meeting someone from her clan randomly at all, much less this far from home. Not that she had any particular love of the woman or the regime at all. She might have fought to make it happen but that had been...

He was a curious man, though at least seemed to pose no kind of active threat. Seretha never could be sure on such things. "It's true, we don't come out so far. Most of us don't even make it to Annuakat with any kind of regularity," she said. The Empire as a whole, nevermind its capital, was...

Seretha began guiding Argós to a nearby tavern, one that would be relatively quiet this time of the day if she recalled correctly. "I do know just the place, it's not far." She spotted a concern in her peripheral vision, affording only a flick of her eyes in that direction to ascertain whatever...

It... he? ... seemed to look back at her when he responded in the affirmative. Oh thank the gods, that's two for two so far. "Would you care to step around the corner or into a nice quiet tavern corner to talk about it? I'm looking for help, an escort really, to a particular locale south of...

The Outer City was the place Seretha generally fit in the most. While she certainly owned at least one high-quality dress and could make her way in polite society if needed, the majority of her personal belongings were sturdy, practical, and as small as possible to accommodate her nomadic...

Alliria The Inner City was truly one of the most magnificent areas of any city Seretha had ever visited. This wasn’t the first but she was impressed every time. Annuakat was one thing - rebuilt from the war and trying too hard to look like the seat of power it was supposed to be for a waning...

"Good answers," Seretha said. For her own purposes, it would just end up drawing from her bone charms where she stored excess energy to power whatever magics she worked. The specifics didn't matter unless it was willing to draw from any surrounding life... a mistake that a novice could easily...

Seretha appraised each of the students as they spoke. Her eyes were focused intently and her jaw was set to create as serious of a look as possible. Great for exploring an urban environment? Surely, then, doubly as good for ruin and cave diving. The number of times that Seretha had unwittingly...
