Elise Haraldr: ::she's had plenty of time to sit and reflect on her actions, she knows now she shouldn't have wandered so far from the outpost, she stands and smoothes down the front of her kirtle, the inactivity is beginning to wear on her as she begins to pace::
Acheron Sinis: When Papo entered the jail hall, he had a slave following him inside to Elise's cell. The girl had a meal tray with her. The guard Papo had left there was one of his own well trained Assassins. He unlocked the cell for Papo and the girl to enter.
Elise Haraldr: ::she turns at the sound of the door, braid whipping around her like a snake, giving Acheron a wan smile, she nods her head in greeting:: Tal Sir
Acheron Sinis: "Tal, lady .." he spoke calmly...Motioning the slave to set the tray to the small table therein.. Papo remained now dressed in black. No longer disguised as the torv known as Herrold.
Elise Haraldr: ::glancing at the tray of food, she isn't hungry, but she knows she'll have to eat, meanwhile, there are more important things on her mind:: how are you Sir? are you healing well?
Acheron Sinis: He was clean shaven, his long straight dark hair flowing freely. Very tall and lean. He looked to her as she questioned his well being.. "I am fine...Thank you for asking."
Elise Haraldr: ::another tiny smile:: and the other man Sir, is he well?
Acheron Sinis: "He is alive and healing.." he said calmly. He motioned the slave out, and to return to the hall and her duties."You should eat now." He said to Elise.
Elise Haraldr: ::a slow nod at the implications, she looks away and takes a deep breath, she hasn't had a change of clothes in a while and though she had washed her kirtle it had gotten dirty in the ruckus, she nods at him and sits at the small table, taking up a spoon to nibble at the food, it's delicious, and suddenly she's hungrier than she realized, looking at Papo:: this is wonderful, would you care for some?
Acheron Sinis: He remained standing...Simply watching her. The Assassin who had been on guard leaned to Papo and whispered to him. Papo nodded silently and then the man set off to fetch himself food and water...He needed a break and Papo would stand watch for now. "I have already eaten...Thank you."
Elise Haraldr: ::she nods again and continues to wolf down her food, nodding at another brace of furs:: would you like to have a seat?::she didn't want to mention that he was making her nervous standing there like that::
Acheron Sinis: "I am fine." he said with that calm demeanor.
Elise Haraldr: ::she looks up at him with wide green eyes:: do you know what's going to happen to me?
Acheron Sinis: He did actually, have an idea what was to happen. "I am not at liberty to discuss that with you, lady."
Elise Haraldr: ::gulps and takes a tiny inhale as if to speak, but wisely she changes her mind and picks up her mug for a drink instead::
Acheron Sinis: He moved his gloved hands behind his back and looked to her quietly then as she began to drink from her mug.
Elise Haraldr: ::ok, now she's nervous, she doesn't know much about assassins, but it seems every little move they make could be someone else's last, she is suddenly no longer hungry:: Do you know when I may be able to see my parents?
Acheron Sinis: "No, I do not." He said honestly.
Elise Haraldr: ::nods again since she's not getting much information from the man, she tries another tactic:: I don't think we've been formally introduced, I am Elise Haraldr ::looking up at him hopefully::
Acheron Sinis: He looked to her and bowed his head slightly.."I am called...Papo."
Elise Haraldr: ::a smile curves across her lips:: well met Papo, I'm glad to know the name of my rescuer.
Acheron Sinis: His name was somewhat infamously known to those of the low walks of life...And very much known to the high castes who would hire him.
Elise Haraldr: ::of course, Elise doesn't know anything about all this, to her he is simply a hero::
Acheron Sinis: Those who knew his name...Feared him very much so. Those who didn't know him, would only know the fear connected to him should they be his mark.
Elise Haraldr: do you have a Homestone Sir?
Acheron Sinis: "Assassins have no homestone." He said this plainly...As a matter of fact, in his tone.
Elise Haraldr: ::blinks, oh yeah, the assassin thing, the concepts just don't seem to gel in her mind:: do you have a place you call home?
Acheron Sinis: He paused an ehn before answering that...Then smiled a little.."Anywhere I am...Is my home."
Elise Haraldr: ::she smiles a little at that:: you must have a very exciting life.
Acheron Sinis: "Some might think that." he replied.
Elise Haraldr: ::she shakes her head:: not me, until this happened I had never been anywhere ::a soft smile up to him:: I've liked it that way
Acheron Sinis: Unlike most Assassins, Papo was relatively social. He had to be, given the fact that it was normally through him that his men would receive paid contracts."You are...A peasant...Yes..?"
Elise Haraldr: ::she thinks for an ihn, she's never considered herself a peasant, but she supposes she is, she nods:: aye, my father is a verr and hurt herder
Acheron Sinis: He nodded gently. It did not surprise him that she knew little of the world and men.
Elise Haraldr: ::indicating the other brace of furs:: please Sir, won't you sit down?
Acheron Sinis: He glanced to the furs. Then he sat down to them. He was close to the cell door so it was permissible.
Elise Haraldr: I have nothing to offer you Sir, except the rest of my water
Acheron Sinis: Nearly every movement he made was silent and graceful. "I am fine...Really." he assured her. Not even his boots made a sound.
Elise Haraldr: ::she leans back in the furs and studies him:: so, you're an assassin, what does an assassin do besides rescuing kidnapped girls?
Acheron Sinis: "Hunt and kill."His dark eyes went to hers as he spoke. His expression was calm and unmoved.
Elise Haraldr: ::another slooow nod:: I see ::gulps:: I'm assuming you mean people?
Acheron Sinis: He smiled just a little. "You assume correctly."
Elise Haraldr: ::struck dumb on this one she picks up the end of her braid and toys with the strands:: I'm sure there are those who deserve to be killed, but I thank you again for rescuing me.
Acheron Sinis: "It matters little to us...Who is guilty or innocent." he said plainly.
Elise Haraldr: ::she leans forward and gazes at him intently:: I guess it's like a renegade verr, one who keeps running away or causing fights, Da always chooses that one for family dinner
Acheron Sinis: This was a thing said to all outsiders of the caste. It mattered not...Just the coin mattered..However, in reality, contractors were always questioned as to the why of the hunt "Men are not verr.."
Elise Haraldr: ::nod:: true, but if a man does the same type of things, stealing things or harming other people without cause, isn't that the same sort of thing?
Acheron Sinis: "That depends.." he said to her calmly again.
Elise Haraldr: ::she continues to gaze at him intently as she tries to process this. she tries again:: I mean, I can't imagine a man wanting another man dead unless he's done something terrible yes?
Acheron Sinis: "Coin...Is what speaks to an Assassin."
Elise Haraldr: ::blinks:: weeeeell .. um ... a man has to make a living
Acheron Sinis: He smiled again...Nodding slightly.
Elise Haraldr: ::she smiles at him, assassin or no, he's a hero to her::
Acheron Sinis: Again...He would not let an outsider know the detailing of their inner workings. They were very much the ones who lent balance and justice to their world. But they maintained a common fear of their caste to all. He stood then as the guard returned.
Elise Haraldr: thank you Sir, for your time.
Acheron Sinis: "I will return later."
Elise Haraldr: aye Sir, I wish you well
Acheron Sinis: He then closed the cell door. He looked to her..."Be well." He then walked out.
Elise Haraldr: ::she smiles and begins her pacing once more::
