*Patricia looks her up and down and smiles*

Another time Katriana

*Leans across and whispers*

Don't try and take me on........again, you are still bound to me, I can make your life a misery, leave me be child and don't get in my way

*Patricia sweeps out of the Tavern*

*in his room, the gargoyle fashons some posters and pamphlets to let the people know of the Lupisberg Agreement*

*he also forges a few wedding announcements for Thurin and Shaylar*

*Katriana swears furiously, causing several drinkers to look up startled. She glares at them and throws her ale down her throat choking slightly. Then she stalks back through the kitchen, waving a bunch of herbs at the unnerved staff before carefully ducking back into the side alley to see where Patricia is going*

~~My friend I am returning to my house in Oane, send a messanger if you need me, I have been recognised and the child will alert the High Council~~

~~Agreed. Did she see where I was going? I'd hate to move while the ink was still wet. You should see the cute little wedding invitations~~~

*Katriana watches Patricia vanish through the crowd and through the city gates. She breathes a slight sigh of relief as the headache subsides somewhat before catching herself and glaring at the building again. She saw the gargoyle leaving the room but did not register at the time that he was connected with Patricia. Now however, with her head cleared, she narrows her eyes and heads back into the building, this time through the front door.

She stands in the main room for a minute before resolutely heading for the stairs*

~~I am in Oane now, at my house, she may come looking for you, she is stubborn i suggest you come to my house, Oane is quiet~~

*hearing Katrina approach, locks the door and blows furiously on the papers*

*Katriana stands on the landing looking at the few shut doors. She very quietly walks up to one and listens before jerking back and flushing red. She moves on to the next, listens, and looks suspiciously at it. She knocks and calls out in a rough cheery voice*

Plate o' ham 'n' bread for yer sir!

[Gargoyle] That's not for me, I'm a vegetarian!

*stuffs papers and posters into a briefcase and opens the window*

*Katriana, filled with terror, certain now of the owner of the room, quickly digs out the sample of wind splinting Elwyn created, slots it in the lock and quickly twists it and unlocks the door*

~~Thank everything for belt pouches and keeping bits and pieces~~

HEY YOU! STOP RIGHT THERE!!!!

*Petrified, Katriana frantically waves her left arm at the gargoyle, picking him up and dragging him back in the room. Her right hand flicks and the window shuts again.*

*the gargoyle opens his wings, throwing off the cloak and throwing Katriana off*

'Scuse me, miss, but I must be off!

*leaps through the window, shattering the glass, and flies away*

*but he dropped his suitcase*

Oh bloody bloody bloody Katriana Al'Bryn you ARE the pits sometimes!

*She picks herself up from the floor and peers out of the window after the gargoyle before clattering down the stairs, drawing looks and mutters from men downstairs.

She darts out of the door and grabs the briefcase, clutching it to her chest, before running off down a sidestreet, glancing at the sky*

*Cú comes out from a back room in the Tavern*
*shouts in the door*
NO you said a fire BREATHING dog,not a gassy dog but I have to provide the fire. *Some muffled talk from the room*I DON'T CARE,what if he has the hiccups and I light a candle or he burps too near an open flame.*some more muffled talk*WHAT DO YOU MEAN I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT*more muffled talk*WHAT,what does he eat raw fiber...okay so what if he Farts too close to an open flame.

*walks out,then comes back in and shouts*AND WHY ARE YOU WEARING A TEATOWEL ON YOUR HEAD YOU....YOU....YOU FOREIGNER.

*Stroms out*

*Zantir and his rose settle into a booth in a corner*
