Atta girl

*Wolf, Thurin and Yuric enter the city*

[Yuric] Do you mind if I...?

[Thurin] no, feel free to have some fun, but be careful the locals don't mistake you for one of the Allience

*Opens the gate wide enough for Wolf to get through, and embraces him as soon as he does.*

I need a drink

*Now there isn't a threat, Zantir makes his way to the inn*

*Wolf hugs Lumien back as Yuric goes of to to check out the city and look for any enemy troops who may have made it past the defenders*

[Wolf] Well I said I'd return and I have, what do you think of my uniform?

Very becoming!

I can't say the same for myself... *Looks down at muddied, bloodied clothing, and back up at Wolf.*

Where did you go?

[Wolf] we had a minor problem back home, although I supose here's my home now. Anyway we had to go and sort that out, it didn't take long. It seemed a cousin of ours thought that the attack on Imardin, which he seemed to have prior knowledge of, would prevent me and Thurin from stopping him from siezing control of Lupsberg. We thought you might need some help, so we bought one of the garrisons of Wolf Knights back with us, but it seems we probably weren't needed after all... We're Demon Hunters...

*wolf allows the importance and significance of this to sink in*

*Kisses him*

You are needed, very much so...

Will Lupusberg be safe?

[Wolf] We only bought one garrison and I think those member of our family who are... not that nice, have learned their lesson. Anyway didn't you hear what I said? We're demon hunters! /I'm/ a demon hunter, me, who carries a demon around inside me!

*Shimada rides up to the gate and looks at the two. Realising that neither are the person he needs to speak to he heads off into the city*

*Shrugs*

Gold and muck come out of the same shaft... and besides, they know who you are... they /do/ know, don't they?

[Wolf] Some of them know about me now... Yuric and Thurin now know, but many, including those of the grand council would no longer trust me if they knew. They may even call for my death, I know my less reputable cousins would

*Holds him for a little while.*

I don't know what to say...

[Wolf] Someday, maybe, I'll be able to tell them, but not yet, they are not ready for such news

*Avatar heads over to them from the wall covered in blood*

Hi everyone. How was your trip Lord Wolf?

*Wolf turns to Avatar*

[Wolf] well, it was... exciting, for a brief time at least. Although it means I seem to have missed the action here... probably for the best really

*Isca and Vlain pas through the Front Gate on their way to the Healing Halls*

*Watches the train of wounded come in.*

I have to get to work.

*Squeezes him one more time, as if to make sure he's still real.*

I love you... be careful rounding up demons, OK?

*Kisses him goodbye, and walks to the Healing Hall.*

*To Thurin*

I'll have to leave you, I'll be in the healing hall helping there

*Heads for healing hall*

I love you

*A heap of mud slides off a heap in a corner to reveal Cú*

*staggers up and finds a hole in his cloak*

Just f*cking perfect.

*Retrieves his staff from a heap of mud and stalks out the door towards the city*
