Thread: flectere si nequeo superos, Acheronta movebo (NoxRogue)

RE Flectere Si Equeo Superos, Achaeronta Movebo NoxRogue Richter moved from the desk and swung around behind it, pulling out the leather swivel chair and taking a seat in it. He looked between them, Of course we would compensate you. As the expedition shouldn't take more than a day, we will set your fee at six thousand Ell. Of course, we will provide you lodging in the city and meals on us. Once the expedition is complete, we will need to determine the best course of action in which to deal with the barrier. We need to further our exploration into Gaal Castle and find the source of these abominations. We will naturally keep you comfortable, in case your services are needed once more to explore the depths. As for now, I will have someone escort you to your room and board and from there, we will contact you once I have a team put together. Thank you for your cooperation Yuri and Liliana. He pressed a button on an intercom, corresponding to another intercom and spoke when a voice asked what he needed, Send a soldier to escort Mister de Elias Schiffer and Miss Greand. Within a few moments a soldier, bearing the same uniform as all the others around, stepped into the office. Richter gave them a curt smile, We shall see each other soon. Lady Luck embrace you. Yuri lifted from the seat alongside Liliana and they moved back out into the hallway from the office. The soldier picked up his pace and once they had navigated the twisted and winding corridors of the headquarters, they were back out onto the streets of Vallacre in pursuit of their room and board. It took them all of ten minutes to travel to the Inn which they had prepared for them to stay out. It was labeled as the Seven Port Inn, which seemed to be a play on the fact that Vallacre itself was something of a port city with seven separate ports. The man opened the door for them, displaying a refined set of manners, and followed behind them with the closing of the door. He stepped up to the counter and informed the mistress behind the counter of the situation, at which she smiled and turned around. She lifted a key from a row of protruding bars and handed it to the young Militia man. He turned around and exchanged it with Liliana, This is your room. Food is three times a day. She is going to go and prepare lunch for you momentarily. We ask you stay here until contact by Captain Michaelis. Once he has been in contact, whatever job he has given to you will need to be completed. Enjoy your stay. The man turned, placing the wide hat on his head and exited the building. The woman behind the counter smiled to them, I am Clara. Is there something in particular you lovelies would like? Yuri relayed his order then allowed Liliana to follow suit. She directed them to one of the wooden tables and Yuri pulled Liliana's chair out for her as he strolled by, taking a seat in his own. Now to wait. As their food was being prepared, Yuri commented on their situation, I think we found a good predicament to be in. We will receive compensation, warm food, hot showers, and a soft bed, in addition to the information on your brother. I beggar to think that this is a perfect setup. Which is why I am weary. I do trust Richter, but not the Militia. We will need to be-- the food, steaming from preparation, was laid before them. Instead of eating, he continued, Cautious when around them. The extra Ell will be worth it, but we cannot get in over our heads or let the Militia use us as pawns, I'm afraid. He lifted the fork and lowered it into the mound of rice before him, lifting it and putting it into his mouth. While not necessarily in need to food for nourishment, he still enjoyed eating it. It was part of the human side he still had. Sometimes he felt that it did make him full and helped to ease the pain of hunger, if only ever so slightly. They chatted over their food, giving their opinion on the food and the setting around them. Once they had finished their meal, Yuri moved from the table and began to ascend the staircase to the upper floor, where their room was. He found the matching room number, a room 204. The two pronged key slide into the keyhole and with a twist, they were given entrance to their new room. It was spacious, with two king sized beds for the taking. There was an alcove with a window they could enjoy the view from, and a set of two or three steps that led to a hardwood floor section where a desk with a lamp resided. Yuri removed the chain from around his wrist and set the sword aside. He looked back toward her, This is rather nice. I think this has to be the nicest room we have stayed in together. Well, though it seems improper for us to shower before a mission, I say we do. Of course, you may go first Liliana. He shrugged his shoulders and helped himself to remove the heavy coat, folding it over his arm and laying it on bed. He then turned and took a seat on the bed, leaning back onto his palms, supporting his weight with his arms, Ill be here when you are finished. We'll have to find something to do to preoccupy our minds and bodies while we await their declaration of intent. I'm sure there is something we could do. Enjoy your shower or bath for however long you desire.
