Liam was so not thrilled to be here.

Thaedes was a bloody mess--quite literally. It had never really recovered from the massacre, and Liam wasn't sure it ever would. As he patrolled the streets with its dilapidated, burned buildings, crawling with stray dogs and rats and street rats, he wasn't so sure it should be salvaged. Maybe the place was as corrupt as Krah had decided it was. Maybe its destruction was a cleansing.

Too bad he had to be here to deal with said mess, cleaning up the dregs when he could have been in the thick of things instead, doing something that actually mattered. But instead he'd drawn the short straw and been one of the unlucky blokes put on clean-up duty--though he supposed he shouldn't be so bitter.

If there were mage nests here, they needed to be cleaned up like the others, and no such holy work was mediocre in Ansgar's eyes.

It was night now, though, and once again Liam had drawn the short straw and got saddled with a midnight patrol on top of an already long day. Which wouldn't have been quite so excruciating if it was a part of the city he was convinced nothing ever happened, it was so burned out. But who knew? Maybe there was a pack of rats hidden among the ashes? It was a little too quiet here, he thought as he poked around a dilapidated building that looked about ready to crumble at a touch. But it had been eerily quiet the two days he'd been here, too.

Still he kept a hand near his sword, just in case. If there were mages still here, chances were, they weren't stupid; they knew there were Mordecai in town on clean-up duty, so if they were smart, they'd be laying low.

It was only a matter of flushing them out.

It wasn't often strangers came decked in garb of the holy, or carrying swords as pretty as his. He also seemed too well groomed to be another pick pocket or brigand. It was precisely why he piqued her curiosity. Her private rations of food had become scarce, the last stale biscuit she promised herself come morning. But she needed to branch out and secure something more concrete to get her through the on coming winter.

It was autumn now, so the night's were cold, but there were still bugs; as the mosquitoes seemed to eat handsomely, regardless of how the people ate. In fact, she was certain they were fat as pigs around here, and she moved to swat at one that was buzzing above her head.

She was trying to be discrete, as she crept her way along the innards of a gutted building, the one she normally used to check out new trespassers in the fallen city of Thaedes. And though she knew strangers meant potential danger, she also knew it meant the possibility of fresh news....

And perhaps a fresh pocket to pick, or beg from. Though she herself was no beggar, it didn't mean she couldn't size him up for some opportunity. Judging from this distance (though it was really hard to gage being above him and only seeing the top of his head), he looked to be older than her, but not much older. He didn't seem to be balding or have gray hairs. Unless of course he was one of those pretty sort that wasted his coin on dyes to keep his hair looking youthful.

She had only seen it once near another city she had been prowling around and had nearly gotten herself thrown in jail for laughing at the man then being called out on being disrespectful. She supposed she was 'lucky' she had just been kicked out of that city. But she had lost her pocket full of loot in the process. Oh well, it hadn't been that much.

But this man...
She licked her dry lips and pressed her hands, flat to the palms, against the buildings broken down window wall and studied him and all of his visible, glittering assets.
Just one silver ornament on his attire could fetch her at least two loaves of bread- maybe even more. Her stomach growled at the prospect-
and embarrassingly enough, it might have been loud enough for this man to hear!

A gurgling, rumbling sound made Liam whip around and slide his sword a good two inches from its sheath. It hadn't sounded like an animal's growl--at least, no animal he had ever encountered--but a more...familiarly human sound.

Like the sound his own belly had been making just hours before.

Maybe he was wrong about the "human" part. But even so, he now knew he wasn't alone--and had also gleaned another valuable piece of information: whoever, whatever it was, must not have the means to harm him if it was hiding like that, otherwise it would have already tried something while he was still unaware.

Frowning, eyes narrowing as he studied the building, he sheathed his sword and let out a sigh. "Show yourself. Come on out, now. I know you're there."

Vels inwardly cursed. So he suspected her presence, however, she remained where she was, holding her breath and refusing to oblige.
