The stars aren't right!(Helena/Courage Wolf)

"Well, since you were sleeping and I didn't have anything to do, I think I'd find out a little more about Othmar. Apparently he lives in a castle just outside the city." Cindy answers, not even looking up. She seems to be in a fairly good mood.

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena pondered the information for a moment. "And how did you come by that little tidbit I wonder..... Jasmine, how do you feel about a flight later tonight?" Getting a good look of the castle from above would be very useful indeed, especially if they had to get in or out the old fashioned way.

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Cindy turns her head to look at Helena. "I asked around. Tom was very helpful in showing me sights around the city."

"Might be a good idea, if we don't have too many visitors." Jasmine replies, before walking to the speaking tube and ordering lunch.

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

"Sounds good then" Helena said as she took a comfy spot at the table, floating a gold coin around the room and spinning it a few times before sending it right back into the bag. If nothing else it was a very amusing trick, and Helena didn't doubt, a useful one.

Waiting for Lunch, Helena gave Cindy an odd look, thinking hard about something. "Cindy, are you any good at picking locks? I feel as if you've answered this before, but for the life of me I can't remember."

 

[Hentaispider]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

"I wouldn't say that I'm good, but I can get most locks open with time." Cindy pulls out three colorful stones and starts juggling them.

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena nods and as Cindy starts juggling, mentally snatches one of the stones out of mid air to look at it before floating it back. "I never learned how to juggle, always looked like fun though."

Leaning back and waiting for lunch, Helena did nothing, but took a mental note of the stones for later.

 

[Hentaispider]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

When Helena returns the stone, Cindy starts juggling again without missing a beat.

A few minutes later there's a knock from the door, and the serving girl from earlier brings them lunch for three: the main course is thinly sliced pork in a sweet sauce accompanied by a side of vegetables, fresh bread and cheese, and ale for drinks.

Helena eats fairly slowly, enjoying the food on the off chance that this week would start to suck when their real work got under way. When she was finished, she went to go check on just how much silk Cindy had managed to collect before packing it away.

"Well, we've already wasted half a day, we should probably get moving." Heading over to the tube, Helena called down for Tom again, and when they were all set to leave, asked him to lead them to the tailors.

 

[Hentaispider]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

There's perhaps two pounds of the silk, despite the fairly large size of the bundle. As the others finish eating, Tom pushes the door open and gives them a bow. "At your service, ladies."

When they arrive at the tailor's shop, they find the shop empty, but almost immediately Laverty arrives from the backroom. "Hello miss's. What can I get you this time?"

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena smiles at Tom as he shows and proceeds to act like the proper gentleman, or in Helena's world and time, a complete dork. Pondering the odd difference, Helena kept quiet until they reached Laverty's

As the tailor came out and asked what he could get them, Helena smiled and pulled the silk from the pack. "It's more, what I've brought for you, Mr. Laverty" she said smiling.

 

[Hentaispider]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Laverty takes the bundle and examines it. "Well. This seems to be the genuine article, although the quality isn't very good. I'll give you 25 bridles."

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

"Tell me how to improve the quality and its a deal" Helena says smiling. Even if she couldn't improve the quality somehow, 25 bridles wasn't bad for something that was essentially free...

After that had been handled, Helena turned to Tom. "I have an odd request, I need glass marbles about this big around" Helena said, showing the size with her fingers, about as big around as a modern day quarter.

 

[Hentaispider]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

"I'm afraid I don't really know much about harvesting the webs, so I can't help you there." Laverty hands over the 25 coins.

Tom shrugs. "I'm used to odd requests. There's a toy-maker's shop a little ways from here." Tom leads the trio through the streets again, into a musty workshop full of jolly looking wooden figures, dolls and games. The owner seems to be hard at work, not even noticing them coming in. The short man is working on a model ship.

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena looks around at the owners handiwork, impressed at his creations and marveling at the sudden realisation that everything made here and now was done by hand, every detail was to be appreciated.

Walking over to the man hard at work on a small boat, Helena gently got his attention and asked him for what she needed. "Hello, I'm Helena, and I was hoping you could help me. I need 5 marbles about this size" She said indicating again.

 

[Hentaispider]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

The man sighs and looks up. "Hello miss." The toymaker gets up and hobbles over to a closet, opening it and pulling out a small leather bag before hobbling back. "That'll be five copper pieces." he says, handing it over.

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena smiles and gives him what he needs and a little more, handing over 10 copper pieces with a smile before heading back. "That's my main errand handled" she said inspecting the marbles before fishing one out. Holding it and looking at it, Helena wondered what else exactly they had to do today...

*We either need to bait a lord out of his castle, or have the supplies to get inside. We can fly so that's not much of an issue, but something could come in handy I'm sure. Any ideas?*

 

[Hentaispider]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

*Breaking in there probably isn't a good idea. For starters, he has lots of guards. We'll need to get invited in.*

*Well, our employer should be arriving tomorrow. Perhaps we should talk to Oleg before starting any plans.*

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

*Wait for our benefactor it is then* Helena thought before having Tom take them back to the inn. Since there seemed to be nothing pressing at the moment, And there was silk to collect, possible customers to deal with, and a late night flight already planned on, it was probably for the best to take things easy until everything really kicked off...

 

[Hentaispider]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

"You two take care of things in the inn, I'll go and buy myself a few things, just in case." Cindy says and disappears to the crowd, easily blending in with the locals. *She sure likes to move around a lot.*

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

*Ya she does... I think it may just be a higher power messing with me though*

Heading back to the Inn, Helena remembered that Jasmine had said she knew a sleeping spell of some kind. When they were upstairs and Helena was relaxing on one of the beds, she prodded at Jasmine. "Remember you said you knew a sleeping spell? Mind sharing?"
