*Enters and beckons the wind to bring in her belongings, starts to open the boxes and bags and puts her things away by hand, a little tradition she has*

*A small silver tabby cat pads in*

Ah Masky there you are where would you like your home to be

*The cat jumps onto a small chair and curls up to watch what's going on*

*Sets a variety of plants and herbs on the window sill and with a wave of her hand the moisture in the air slowly drips onto the plants*

What you you think Masky is it much like home yet

MASKY - It's better than the last rat trap we were in, not that I minded of course, the lady that owned the rooms was very pleased with me

At least you didn't go hungry, we'd better find the High Council and make ourselves known

*Leaves*

*Enters with Masky at her heels, Shaylar flops onto the bed which is covered by a thick blanket, Masky jumps on her chest and settles down*

Well the High Lord seems nice enough, he seems to be very likable man

*Wakes and gently moves Masky to the end of the bed, dresses and goes out to look around the guild hall*

*Masky wakes and pads out to find her mistress*

*sniffing can be heard outside the door, followed by scatching*

*running can now be heard, the running stops and someone can be heard gasping for breath, folowed by.

Konrad what are you doing there?

*a wolfish whine follows and then*

Yes yes, that's their room, but

*sniffing*

They're not there. Come along now...

What are you planing on waiting there till they come back? Well I'm not sitting here, I've got to go and appologise for your recent behaviour....

well when you feel like joining me you'll be able to find me.

*footsteps can be heard going off into the distance*

*Masky opens an eye*

M:- Konrad, she's gone to the town

*Masky jumps off the bed and scrabbles at the door until it opens*

M:- Come on in Konrad my friend

*Konrad enters and follows Masky*

*Masky jumps back on the bed and rubs noses with Konrad*

*Konrad climbs on to the bed and lays down, curling, protectively, around Masky*

*Masky snuggles into Konrad's fur*

M:-At least we can be friends hopfully my mistress and your master can too

*Enter's her chambers and spot's Konrad and Masky on the bed*

What the.............Masky what is going on my bed is not a cat's doss house or a wolf's so will you 2 please get on the rug by the fire, I'll even light it for you

*Points at the grate, mutter's an incantation and fire sparks in the grate*

Now move please the High Lord himself is coming here soon

*Masky and Konrad jump off the bed and stretch out by the fire together*

*the clock on the mantle pops a cog*

[Fie]...!

*Looks around and picks a ember out of the grate*

Find it little one find it and devour

*Ember goes in serch of the gremlin thing*

*Fie divides into two Fie and one darts under the door, the other leaps into the fire and sits quietly*
